Wedding Planning Timeline - A Wedding Overview

Get the difficult decisions out of the way first. Set out what you can afford to spend on the big day and what you know you're happy to splurge on. Make sure to start enquiring with venues straight away because they're always the first to get booked up. If you have a specific date you want, you've gotta get in there quickly! Next, get the guest list nailed down. This might be super easy if you're having a micro wedding or might take a lot longer if you're planning on inviting lots of extended family members and friends. Another thing to consider early on is what kind of ceremony you might like to have. Handfasting, humanist, civil...the list goes on. Don't worry! We've got an article on every single one, so you'll find what's perfect for you.

Once you've got the foundations for your day all figured out, you can start booking the magical people who will make your day come to life. Instagram and Pinterest are great ways to double-check your suppliers match the vibe you're aiming for. You might not need all of these suppliers if you're having a special DIY day or are using friends/family. BUT we do have some incredible suppliers on our curated Recommended Supplier page if you care to browse. There are so many unique ways to have a wedding cake that completely mirrors the style of your day. Anything is possible! You might even want a savoury cheese tower instead. For entertainment, consider music, speeches and any readings you might want to have in your ceremony!

You've got most of the harder decisions out of the way at this point. But it's outfit time! What kind of wedding dress are you looking for? We've got a wedding dress guide for you just below.
