This post is for our brides-to be who wear glasses! Below are 3 key things to consider for your big day:

💜 Coordinate with Makeup: Work with a makeup artist to apply makeup in a way that complements your glasses - your brows and eye make up can help make you look more radiant.

💜 Plan for your pics - a pre-run with your photographer at the venue may be necessary, to make sure he captures your best angles and works with the lighting to make sure your glasses look great in pics.

💜 Consider getting contact lenses and practise wearing them before the big day to make sure you get accustomed.

Hey bride-to-be! 😘

Here are two essential topics to discuss with your wedding planner before the big day:

🌼 Should guests who were not invited or did not RSVP be allowed in, or sent away?
🌼 If guests arrive just as you’re about to walk down the aisle, should they be let in or directed to wait in the reception area?

These important questions are easy to overlook, which is why having a professional wedding planner is crucial to cover all your bases and ensure your big day goes smoothly. DM us for a quote!

Planning a wedding on a budget? We've got you! 😘
Catering is the second biggest wedding expense after the venue. Here are 3 ways to cut costs:

💖 Opt for non-traditional catering: Try options like goch goch/braai with sadza, rolls and salad, or finger foods.

💖 Timing: Have a short wedding, around 3 hours. This allows you to cater a light meal.

💖 Limit the guest list:This might be tough because we are African, but it is an option! 😅
