Take your time and enjoy the planning! It might seem stressful at times but getting all the little details right makes so much difference to the feeling of the day! Make it personal to you whilst also making sure your guests will have a lovely experience. Guests will have the most fun when everything is as easy as possible for them - put some time and energy into planning the logistics - things like recommending hotels and planning transport options go a long way.
Some of the best moments were getting ready with my bridesmaids and the calming company of Harriet and Karla from HCBrides who did everyone’s hair and makeup beautifully. It was the most memorable morning which I wish I could do all over again. Our photographer, Ben, not only took fabulous photos but was also a big hit with the whole bridal party and guests - he was really uplifting to have around, a real gem. Being honked at by the police in our vintage car on the way to Clifton suspension bridge after we were just married! And James’ speech - he totally nailed it! Also, seeing James’ 90-year-old grandad enjoying the day having travelled down from Wigan.
