As normality after the pandemic finally resumes, engaged couples can breathe a sigh of relief and get back to that all-important wedding planning!
But it’s no secret that arranging your big day can be stressful at times. You need to find the perfect venue, then book the caterer, florist, and wedding band. With the organisational demands and financial costs involved, it’s easy to see how this process can very quickly become overwhelming.
If this sounds all too familiar, you’re not alone!
In this article, we share a few tips and tricks on how to plan your perfect summer wedding.
Setting a budget
First things first – you need to set a realistic budget on what you’re prepared to spend on your wedding. This needs to include the venue, food, wine, flowers, table arrangements, the wedding cake, the dress – and more!
Weddings can be notoriously expensive, so be sure to take a moment to sit down and organise your finances accordingly first. If you’re having trouble spreading the cost and you’re considering a payday loan, explore alternative financial options that allow more flexibility, like a line of credit
Choose a light colour scheme
With the summer comes the sunshine, and those beautiful floral colours that remind us of June, July, and August. More than anything, you want your guests, groomsmen, and bridesmaids to feel comfortable on your big day. Opting for a light colour scheme will help to keep everyone cool and collected on your wedding day. You can tie this into the venue décor and your table decorations for a seamless summery feel throughout.
British weather backup plan
As we know all too well, the typical British weather has a mind of its own – and even our summer months sometimes fall victim to an almighty downpour. While everyone crosses their fingers that this doesn’t happen, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and have a backup plan. Be sure to have some large gazebos or tepees with heaters on standby, just in case the rain does pay you a visit.
Ask for help
This one may sound silly, but it often goes overlooked by busy brides and grooms who are trying to juggle a million things at once. If it’s starting to feel a little chaotic, take a breath and ask for help! Your friends and family are just as excited about your big day as you are, and will likely do anything they can to help make the day as special as can be. Having all hands on deck only adds to the amazing memories leading up to your wedding day.
