You’ve set your date and chosen your venue – how exciting!
Here are a few helpful tips to guide you through the next stages of your wedding planning:
Attend Wedding Open Days and Evenings: Wedding open days and evenings are fantastic for gathering ideas, meeting the entire wedding team at your chosen venue, and seeing your venue showcased in all its beauty. These events allow you to envision how your venue will be set up and share your ideas with their hand-picked suppliers.
Choose Your Colour Scheme or Theme: Pinterest will become your new best friend during this stage. Explore different colour palettes and themes to find the perfect one for your wedding. Having a clear vision will help tie all the elements of your big day together seamlessly.
Arrange Your Menu Tasting: Make menu tasting a special occasion by setting it up as a date night. Choosing a menu that will please all your guests can be challenging, so keep an open mind. Our Executive Chef is always available to provide ideas and answer any food queries, whether you prefer a traditional set meal or something more unique, like an informal BBQ.
Assign Important Roles: Decide on key roles such as the bridal party, groomsmen, who will walk you down the aisle, and who will serve as witnesses. These decisions will ensure that everyone important to you has a special part to play in your wedding.
Plan Your Hen and Stag Parties: Set the date for your hen and stag parties, or even consider a joint ‘Sten’ party. If you’ve chosen bridesmaids and groomsmen, let them help organize and surprise you. Enjoy yourself and let someone else handle the planning so you can focus on the big day.
Send out Invitations: Refer back to your budget and wish list when deciding on the number of guests and who to invite. There are many options for invitations, from simple email invites to beautifully designed physical invitations. Choose what fits your style and budget best.
Happy planning! Enjoy every step of the journey to your special day.
