My best friend is currently planning her wedding, so there has been lots of talks (much to my boyfriend of 6 months dismay). It seems unreal that THIS SUMMER, we’ll be at Pendennis Castle celebrating her big day! It seems like yesterday we were in school.
Everyone dreams of having the perfect wedding. It is the day we look the most beautiful and feel the happiest. But getting to that part isn’t easy. It takes months of hard work organising and planning a dream wedding. And there are so many things to prepare! To make life easier, why not hire some specialists to help you relax all the way up the aisle.
Hiring a wedding planner doesn’t come cheap. But they can take all the stress and hassle of coordinating all the other specialists for your big day. Plus, they’ve done it all before. They know exactly what it takes to make a wedding go off without a hitch. Wedding planners also have a lot of industry contacts they can call upon to help you get the very best service for your wedding too.
Choosing a venue can be the easiest part if you already have your heart set on a particular place. You might be having a religious ceremony in a place of worship before moving to the reception venue. If this is the case, be sure to hire a chauffeur driven wedding car to take you from one venue to the next. It certainly saves you the stress of driving through the traffic.
Once at your venue, the whole room should be decorated beautifully. Unfortunately, not all venues offer you a decorated room, but only the space. Hiring an event planner means you can make sure your venue is as beautiful as you are. Crisp table linens and beautiful centrepieces make every table gorgeous. Chair coverings and sash wraps add to the elegance. Finally, balloons and garlands make the whole room chic and ready for your reception.
As this is your most beautiful day, you want it well documented. A professional wedding photographer can capture every moment of your day. You might choose a documentary wedding photographs like the ones Weddings by JP offers if you want to capture a more natural atmosphere. Hire someone who can give you the pictures you want without getting in your way or taking up too much of your time.
Even if you are buying your wedding dress off the peg, you should hire a seamstress from the boutique who can tailor the dress to fit you perfectly. This will be the most elegant dress you ever get to wear, so you want it to fit absolutely perfectly. If you hire a designer or dressmaker, keep in close contact with them so you can feel assured everything will be ready for you on time.
To keep the guests entertained and help maintain the flow of the day, it’s worth hiring an MC with a DJ. That way, announcements can be made, and the events of the day will happen in order. The DJ should have a playlist that you agreed to. And your First Dance should be announced formally before the song is played. You may want to hire a choreographer or dance teacher to help you through those lonely three minutes on the stage.
Next step – planning the hen do!
