Whether your wedding was postponed, altered or cancelled completely and moved to another year it has been very tough for couples. The last 18 months have been very difficult for anyone planning a wedding but we want to show you how you can get planning again and more importantly be excited about the entire process. 

If you have recently got engaged and you are beginning your wedding planning journey or ,maybe you have restarted your wedding planning as you have had to move your date, this blog will give you some great tips and advice on how you can get started. 

Wedding Insurance

We recommend all couples take out wedding insurance but make sure you are reading all the fine print to ensure it covers issues such as COVID-19 as lots of insurers have taken this out of their policies. 

The "What ifs"

Don't be afraid to ask your venue or suppliers what would happen in the worst case scenario, should another lockdown take place on the date of your wedding. Each supplier will have different contingency plans in place but it's always best to ask at the point of booking. Most suppliers have had an awful year and will be so excited to begin your wedding plans so always remember to look for local suppliers as they more than likely know the venue very well. 

Money Saving Tips

Are you an avid baker? Do you know someone who would love to do your floristry or makeup? With millions of people being on furlough we know money has been stretched for so many couples, so why not consider doing a few bits yourself for the wedding. Not only are you saving money but it makes it extra special knowing a friend or family member has a very important role in the wedding which they more than likely wouldn't have had before. 

Weekday & Short Lead Weddings

As wedding venues all over london have had to move hundreds of 2020 weddings to 2021 and beyond you may find key Saturday dates are already taken. If you haven't considered a weekday wedding or a short lead wedding they come with many benefits! You will find venues have discounted dates from October 2021 - March 2022 and midweek weddings are not only cheaper for venues but also suppliers tend to charge less on their off peak days. 

After spending so many months locked away your family and friends will be so excited to be able to celebrate with you in style.

Don't be afraid to start planning your special day.
