How to get a head start on your wedding-planning
How to get a head start on your wedding-planning
You may think that with much of the wedding industry currently on hold it’s impossible to move forward with your plans, but it really isn’t. With 2021 set to be the busiest year for weddings in history, now is the time to get ahead. To help you do so, our latest blog provides the wedding planning tasks you can complete whilst restrictions are still in place.
The Power of Pinterest
We know that many brides have been pinning their dream wedding ideas prior to engagement – because who doesn’t love some forward-planning? But for those who are yet to build out your Pinterest boards, now is the time. Start by considering what you want your wedding style to be and work from there, you can use the platform to help choose colour palettes, bridesmaid styles, tablescapes and so much more.
Not only is Pinterest an endless fountain of inspiration, it is perfect for days when you feel you’re lacking motivation.
Supplier Research
Instagram will be an essential part of getting the feel for your suppliers; their ethos, style and personality are all things you will need to consider to see if they will be the right fit for you. Although websites are packed with information, a lot of suppliers in the wedding industry are taking to screens through Instagram TV and stories – a great opportunity for you to meet the face behind the brand.
Some venues have now reopened for viewings, but virtual tours have definitely proved the way forward. You can now shortlist your selected venues from the comfort of your own home, before taking more time to focus on a select few in more depth to view at a later date. You can take a look at our virtual tour of Dewsall Court via the link at the bottom of this blog.
Words of Love
Time to get sentimental! Sit down with your other half and begin to write your vows. Starting early will build a framework and allow you the time to reflect over the coming months. If you’re going to have readings in your ceremony, start to browse online and work out if you want to include something heart-felt, funny or witty, and who will be given the job of reading them.
Wedding Playlist
The Wedding Playlist is typically one of the last completed tasks of them all, usually during the same week as the wedding. With time on your hands, why not start working on the perfect playlist by adding a few songs a day, or even a week. Pretty soon you’ll have built up a great list without even realising it. From pre-ceremony to the last dance, remember to break your day down, you may require different music styles throughout.
Create a Wedding Website
A hub of wedding information for your guests, which is easy to update feels like a good decision right now! Thanks to a range of websites offering templates, this is something that is easy to set up and can be a lot of fun to do together. You can share essential information with your guests such as times and locations, collect RSVP and menu information, publish your gift list and much more! Some platforms even allow guests to upload and share images after your big day too.
Although planning a wedding with restrictions in place can be daunting, it’s ok to feel overwhelmed and a little bit stressed. Our team here at Dewsall are here to help you navigate your wedding planning and are full of amazing hints, tips and ideas. When times get tough, just remember the time will come when you can have the wedding of your dreams and hold your nearest and dearest close.
