  • You needn’t spend a fortune to have the wedding of your dreams, but establishing a good financial limit saves on future squabbles. 
  • Work out how to allocate your spending, which service is the most important to you and what do you want to spend most of your money on. 
  • Start saving early; those little pennies make a big difference!

2.  Use a wedding coordinator

  • Why? – To ease the stress of wedding planning.
  • Why not utilise the venues wedding coordinators? 
  • This removes the stress of organising everything and allows brides and grooms to relax and enjoy the build up to the wedding and the actual day itself, ensuring that everything is taken care of.
  • Establish a good working relationship with your wedding planner, bouncing ideas off each other and working out how much involvement you would like them to have.
  • A wedding planner is one of the easiest ways to ensure a smooth, perfect big day with minimal stress.

3. Find the Venue

  • There are so many wedding venues to choose from, where to begin? 
  • Think about the theme and style of your wedding and how many guests you want to invite, plus added details like if the venue is child friendly. 
  • There are plenty of beautiful venues to choose from, particularly within the New Forest. 
  • Make sure you find a venue that caters for everything you need for a wonderful and memorable wedding day.

 4. Choose the perfect dress 

  • This is the most fun and exciting part of the whole wedding preparation!
  • Whatever your shape, size or style, there is a beautiful wedding dress out there that will make you feel like a princess. 
  • Make sure to take an honest friend or family member with you to ensure that feedback on your look is as honest as possible.
