We often think a great wedding looks like the perfect dream day with no issues etc. but a great wedding is actually one where you’ve done the planning to the best of your ability and then able to let go on the day and just be fully present to ENJOY your magical moments ✨

💍 Planning your dream wedding? Here are three things wedding vendors wish their clients knew:

1️⃣ Clear Communication: Be open about your vision and share your preferences and uncertainties ahead of time so you can ask your vendors their advice. Letting your vendors kindly know what you like and what you don’t was one our top tips from our hairstylist - this made the process so much easier on getting on the same page and ended up with my dream hair, dream makeup, dream florals etc.

2️⃣ Trust your vendors - they are the professionals and they’ve seen it all before! Ask them “what things make the wedding day smoother from your experience?” , so you can fully relax and let them create their magic!

3️⃣ Appreciate their value: it’s a big job being involved in peoples weddings, especially in wedding season when most vendors are helping back to back couples. Be gentle on them and always lead every email, every conversation with kindness. The words thank you go a long way to make them feel appreciated! In turn they’ll love being part of your big day and deliver better!

We are working on special templates to share with your hair stylists, make up artists and florists so the process is streamline and there is no miscommunication on the day!

Vendors have you got any tips you wish your clients knew?

A veil is such an intricate part of a brides outfit and often is the item that really makes you feel like "a bride". Whether a delicate cascade of lace or a statement tulle - choose something that complements your gown and the look you are going for is key. Perhaps you may know someone who has a veil you could borrow - special reminder of a grandparent or someone special? A precious 'something borrowed' and a great money saver.

5 LIFESAVERS ON YOUR WEDDING DAY 👇🏽

1. Dermaplanning - I can not recommend this enough, I was shy to the idea until Ana suggested the week of our wedding that it would help take off some of my dead dry skin and help my makeup glide on. As someone who struggles with unwanted facial hair growth this was the best thing decision I made and an absolute lifesaver - no rogue hairs (i cried knowing these were gone and i’d feel so beautiful) and my skin was SO smooth, my wedding make up glided on so perfectly. If you only do this once in your life - book yourself in for the ultimate beauty treatment… and your make up artist will thank you!

2. Uber eats coffee - the morning of was very full making sure everyone got through hair and makeup and once our bridesmaid who is a fab barista sat in the chair we all realised we weren’t getting our morning coffee for another hour. Instead of being coffee deprived or running down the road our incredible make up artist coffee - and what a fab idea that was. Coffee to the door = no sweating the small stuff!

3. Spare shoes for the dance floor - although my wedding shoes were ballet flats, they weren’t great for dancing - top tip: make sure you test your shoes before your first dance! So grateful for the pair of white heels I brought from years ago (and still looking new!) to pull me through on the dance floor!

4. Your veil will highly likely fall out on the day - it just takes a big gust of wind or someone to stand on the end. We are so grateful for showing my bridesmaids how to pop it back in the morning of without ruining my hair.

5. Get ready for the less-glamarous part of your wedding day - going toilet in your dress! My bridesmaids were absolute life-savers as we crammed into the bathroom together - think one to hold the dress, one to hold the stick on g-string and one for moral support. Laugh about it and keep it real!

We adore this gorgeous wedding long lunch with family and friends after a sweet elopement 💙

Having fruit as part of your table decor really is such a great way to bring different heights / textures and fun to your tables - we are obsessed with these pears 🍐What fruit have you seen on wedding tables that you’ve loved?

It’s so important that on your big day everyone feels valued 💙 Always lead with kindness and make sure those who are following you around all day eg. photographer/wedding co-ordinator are well looked after (and fed!!). Grab a bag and pop in a thank you card and some of your favourite goodies so they can snack on throughout the day. Our favourites… @@sidekicksoda - the most incredible non-alcholoic, no nasties drink. Packed with flavour these are an absolute must!! Plum is our favourite, but plum & strawberry & mango are closely behind. @ceresorganics wholefood bars - the easiest pick-me-up when your vendors are on the go! Delicious and filled with lots of goodies that will fuel you. @littlebirdorganics cookies - anything from Little Bird can’t be passed. Found in stockists across NZ or if you are lucky enough to live in Auckland, pop into their Little Bird Kitchen for a drink and meal the week before your wedding that will have you glowing! @graze_nz Skinny Dipped almonds - a delicious snack for anyone doing a job for you on the day! Add a wee card to say thank you & pop with your favourite tea so they have something to recover with the next day (we love @pukkaherbs three ginger - the perfect immunity booster!)

Hello I’m Annie - Co founder of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff alongside Sophie and a big lover of love! I adore that a couples big day is such a special reflection of loving and being loved (the most beautiful thing in the world) 🤍 At the top of mountain or in my garden is where I am most content.

I am passionate about organising things , and can’t get enough of a good checklist or spreed sheet - which is why we have created Don’t Sweat the Small stuff as we get it, logistics and planning aren’t everyones cup of tea! I’m also a physiotherapist and passionate about creating optimal health and wellbeing and have plenty to share on looking after yourself on the lead up to your wedding 🫶🏽 Thank you for being on this journeying with us, we understand how big a job it is to plan a wedding! We are here for you, so please sing out if you have any questions. With much love and calm, Annie 💙✨
