Our Wedding Co-ordinators discuss their Top Tips for Planning the Perfect Wedding;

Money Management
Plan for the type of wedding you can afford. Accept what you've got to spend and always keep this in mind when creating your perfect wedding.

Be Organized
It is the key to successful and stress free wedding planning.

Prioritize
Don't waste time getting carried away with the detail of your day until you have put in place the key elements. Remember to always confirm the Church before you confirm the Reception venue!

Plan Together
Start as you intend to continue, create your day together. Negotiate & Compromise with your intended & leave some room for family input!

Your Guest List
When planning your guest list, be sensitive to the desires and expectations of each other and your families. As a guideline, allocate 1/3 of the guest list to the Bride, 1/3 to the Groom & 1/3 to mutual guests. Be sure to send out your invites at least two months in advance!

Bridesmaid & Best Man
Have a reliable best man and chief bridesmaid. It is important that you can rely on them to carry out their responsibilities and duties.
Traditionally it is the best mans duty to protect the groom from bad luck, he must ensure that once the groom has begun his journey to the church he does not return for any reason!

Take a Break
Remember to take a time-out from wedding plans with your intended. This will help you both to not lose sight of why you are making the marriage commitment!

Did you know?
Something old:
represents the couple’s friends who will hopefully remain close during marriage. Traditionally this was an old garter which was given to the bride by a happily married woman to ensure future happiness.
Something new: symbolizes the newlyweds’ happy and prosperous future.
Something borrowed: is often lent by the bride’s family and is an item much valued by the family. The bride must return the item to ensure good luck.
Something blue: the custom originated in ancient Israel where the bride wore a blue ribbon in her hair to represent fidelity.
