Let the exciting times begin… a wedding involves quite a bit of planning with endless details, deadlines and quite often stress, if you let it overwhelm you, however here at The Wedding Affair, we believe that this is the best time in your life. It’s where you get to talk about what you both love, what you both hate and make decisions together! The planning stages may cause family dramas and a time when you may wish that you had just eloped to some far off country all on your own! To be honest, it doesn’t have to be stressful, it doesn’t have to take months or even years, its all about the planning. Get the planning right and the rest is easy peasy, lemon queasy.
Use The Wedding Hour Checklist 2015 to help you plan the entire run up to the wedding, the day itself and of course, the all important honeymoon, we’ve thought of everything! Now, you don’t have to buy, book or plan the entire list, its there for you to use as you see fit. Add to it, delete things you don’t want and plan the things you do! It’s a working document, to be written, rewritten and amended over and over again.

There is so much choice out there; do you have a vintage wedding, a seascape wedding, a traditional wedding, an alternative wedding? Do you choose pink and ivory, gold and black, green and white? Shall we get married in a church, a registry office or our favourite venue? Shall we plan the wedding ourselves or hire a wedding co-ordinator/planner? Well, as always, personal tastes, life experiences and budgets will control your mind, your heart and your purse strings. We always recommend a planner, they can save you money in the long run, believe me! Here’s a link to some of our recommended planners and stylists… www.theweddingaffair.co.uk
