Rewritten London
North London, East London, Central London
As a multicultural and interfaith couple, we had a unique challenge of trying to honour our different cultural and religious backgrounds. After a lot of trade-offs and compromises, we settled on having a wedding weekend, with 3 intimate ceremonies (civil, Islamic, and Chinese) on the first day, and then a bigger reception on the next.
As someone who has been on both sides of the industry now as a supplier and a customer: especially in this economy, weddings ARE a luxury and an investment. But if you look hard enough and ask around your peers, there are suppliers all at different price points and experience levels. Find the ones that are the right personal fit for you and your priorities. Be very clear with each other and your families what are the must-haves, nice-to-haves, and should-not-haves. Also consider DIY'ing certain aspects to save budget! (e.g. my favourite 'wedding cake' by far was one of our couples getting a bunch of Colin Caterpillars representing the couple, their babies, and their guests)
