Strapless Lillian West Wedding Dress

If you’re on a budget, choose a handful of things that are important to you and prioritise them. Ours was a beautiful venue, photography and the styling of the space. Inevitably it meant that other things got less of our attention but we’re happy knowing we had the important things. In fact, we didn’t send physical invites. As beautiful as they are, we knew they would sit in a drawer, so we decided to mock up a digital invite and send them to guests instead. It worked really well (plus we saved money and trees)!

We mainly did a lot of our research on Instagram as we found it the easiest way to decide what look and feel we wanted for the wedding and then contacted suppliers which fit that. We're both very visual people and had a good idea of what we wanted so needed to be sure that suppliers were on the same page.
