Top tips from suppliers

Some couples still think that employing a Wedding Planner is an extravegance – but in this day and age for busy working couples, it’s more like a neccessity!

An experienced Wedding Planner like myself will help as much or as little as you would like, co-ordinating everything to just finding the perfect venue. Wedding Planners build up relationships with other wedding businesses to ensure that they can find you whatever you want for your day from trusted suppliers who offer only the best services.

Wedding Planners take the stress out of planning a wedding, so that couples can have exactly what they want without all of the running around involved. It is a relief to know that on one of the most important days of your lives, you have someone that you have grown to trust during all of the planning, who will be there to ensure that the hopes and dreams discussed, will become a reality for you both on the day.

Or will it form part of the dessert.

Would you like the cake at your wedding to match the colour scheme? If so you should consider the colour of the icing and the colour of the cake decorations.

Wedding Cake Flavour. Traditionally, the cake's filling is fruit. If however you are a chocoholic you may well consider a chocolate filling. There are plenty of other fantastic flavours available these days too, from sponge to cream cheese!

Wedding Cake Decorations - choose a style that matches what you like. Typically these can be sugarcraft created flowers, real flowers or even a novelty theme modelled in sugar paste!

Embrace the seasons and think about using seasonal flowers, foliages and berries or buds to help keep the cost of the flower budget down and create arrangements that will compliment the time of year you are getting married.

You don't necessarily have to use lots of expensive flowers. Beautiful natural flowing arrangements can be made using foliages of different colours and textures, with a few flowers arranged carefully.

Don't worry if you don't know all the names of flowers ( no one expects you to know them all ). Your florist is there to help and guide you and ensure that you have beautiful flowers for your wedding day.

There are three very important basic points to consider when selecting a photographer:

The style of the images has to catch your eye. It's important to look across a range of work by the photographer to check if the style is consistently to your liking.

Good photographs of such an important occasion need to be presented well. Albums should to be of a high quality and real flair present in the design and layout of the photographs.

You must feel that the photographer, who will be with you for a large part of the day, has an empathy with you. Relaxed, informal and natural images are better captured by someone who works confidently, but in an unobtrusive manner.
