Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting journeys a couple can embark on, but it can also feel overwhelming.

1. **Start Early – But Don’t Rush**
   The best weddings are well-thought-out, so give yourself plenty of time to plan. However, don’t feel pressured to make every decision right away. Take time to savour the process. Starting early means you can book your top-choice suppliers before they’re fully booked, allowing for more flexibility and peace of mind.

2. **Establish a Budget (and Stick to It!)**
   It’s easy to go overboard with wedding expenses, but setting a budget upfront will keep you grounded. Make a list of “must-haves” and “nice-to-haves,” so you can prioritize your spending on the things that matter most to you as a couple. Remember, beautiful weddings come in all budget sizes!

3. **Choose Trusted Suppliers**
   Selecting reliable suppliers is crucial. We recommend working with vendors you can trust, like our handpicked suppliers at Fairydust. Having vendors who are experienced and well-reviewed ensures you’ll have fewer surprises on the day. Plus, they’ll be there to offer guidance and support.

4. **Personalize Your Day**
   Make your wedding uniquely yours! From your favourite flowers to special family traditions, weaving personal elements into the ceremony and reception will make the day unforgettable for you and your guests. Work with suppliers who are excited about personalizing the day and bringing your vision to life.

5. **Create a Wedding Timeline**
   Planning your timeline is key to a smooth, enjoyable day. Create a detailed schedule from the ceremony to the reception, and share it with your bridal party, suppliers, and any coordinators. Knowing that everyone’s on the same page allows you to relax and enjoy each moment.

6. **Consider a Wedding Coordinator**
   If you want to enjoy the day without stressing over logistics, a wedding coordinator is worth considering. They can handle last-minute issues, coordinate with vendors, and keep everything running smoothly. Fairydust works closely with coordinators who know how to make your day picture-perfect.

7. **Have a Back-Up Plan**
   Especially for outdoor weddings, it’s smart to have a contingency plan. Whether it’s a backup location, a marquee, or a different ceremony setup, a plan B ensures that unexpected weather or other surprises won’t throw off your day.

8. **Don’t Forget Self-Care**
   Amidst the planning frenzy, remember to take care of yourselves! Set aside date nights or weekend breaks to relax and reconnect. Not only will this keep your spirits high, but it will also remind you why you’re doing this in the first place.

9. **Enjoy Every Moment!**
   Wedding planning can feel like a whirlwind, but don’t forget to enjoy it. Celebrate each milestone, from finding your dream dress to sending out invitations. This journey is special, so take time to celebrate every step along the way.
