Wedding Planning Tip: When Should We Cut the Cake?

As a wedding planner, I am often asked at what point in the timeline that a couple should cut their cake, and how best to incorporate this. To help, I have put together what I believe to be the three top times that you should consider cutting your cake during your wedding day!

T O P T I P - C E R E M O N Y

This may sound so obvious, but you'll be surprised the amount of couples who forget this during their ceremony: Look at each other, not your celebrant! (Or registrar)

It's so easy to look at the person who is talking at the time, and I'm not saying don't ever look that way. But believe me, when you look back through your wedding photos you really do want to see yourselves gazing into each other's eyes...not the eyes of the stranger marrying you!

If you remember anything when you've got the top of the aisle, make it this ✨️

H E L L O ✨️

Hello to all my new lovely followers! My name is Beth, and I'm a Wedding Planner based in Nottingham (although I'll travel anywhere for the right event!).

I specialise in outdoor weddings (marquees, tipis, stretch tents) and weddings at dry hire venues. My passion is planning a unique day from the ground up without a mould. While planning your wedding, I don't want to think outside the box, I don't want us to have a box at all!

Here's a few facts about me...

⭐️ I'm legally trained and was a paralegal before starting my business in 2022. This career change was the best thing I ever did!

⭐️ I'm a true crazy cat lady with four of my own at home 🐱

⭐️ I'm only 4ft 11 🫣 I never managed to reach 5ft as hoped, but I embrace being a tiny pocket rocket.

⭐️ I am obsessed with Beyonce and know every single dance routine. I will also perform them without question after a cocktail or two.

⭐️ A secret skill of mine is knowing the words to most Disney songs. Unfortunately, I've never been called upon to use this special talent. Here's hoping 🤞🏼

⭐️ I also own a cat rescue charity which I started during lockdown 2020. Told you I was the ultimate crazy cat lady 🐈 To date, we've rescued over 400 cats and kittens!

So, if you're looking for a tiny, Beyonce obsessed, Disney fluent, Crazy Cat Lady to help you plan your wedding day, I'm not ashamed to say I'm your woman! Let's get together and create something special 💫

T A K I N G C A R E O F Y O U R W E D D I N G S U P P L I E R S

One of the first things I learned when training was the importance of being the planner who takes care of the other suppliers with us on the day.

Unsurprisingly, it is not every couple’s first thought for their big day! However, this is something really important to consider and definitely something you can entrust to your wedding planner. There are a few key suppliers with you for the full day, and they need a little extra care.

Happy suppliers = job well done!

If this is something you hadn't thought of and would rather this isn't a task you need to add to your to do list, reach out for a chat so I can take care of this for you 📧 📞

WEDDING DAY MANAGEMENT

Also known as On the Day Coordination. So, what does it actually mean?

Having a wedding day manager relieves you of the stresses you don't want to be going through on the run up to your big day. I want to the one helping you enjoy those final few weeks rather than worrying about whether your suppliers will all turn up on time.

I will come on board from 6 weeks before your wedding, troubleshoot any potential issues with you, take over all supplier communications and check all the finer details to ensure that the day you have spent so long planning, goes the way you have planned it!

This is a brief overview on my Wedding Day Management service, and for more details head to 👇🏼
