10 TOP TIPS FOR PERFECT WEDDING PLANNING

Please note these comments are only suggestions for tips that may help brides and grooms plan their day. They may not apply to everyone. Happy Planning!

ATTITUDE/PLANNING/ORGANISATION: Be Organised, be flexible as things can change that are out of your control. Write a Timetable/ have a great MC to help the night run smoothly.

A PLAN B OPTION: Have a Wet Weather Back up plan and umbrellas (Murphy’s law) Always have a plan B option. Embrace the weather as you can’t control it and with an experienced Photographer your photos will be awesome in any conditions.

LISTS: Write lots of lists, Have a list for family photos and have someone help organize people who knows them.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Take 15 mins out from your night to have some creative photos at night with your Photographer. Like star photos or sparkler photos. Those magical moments.

TRADITIONS: Don’t listen to Wedding trends and traditions unless you want them. Don’t try to please everyone else, its your wedding day.

RESEARCH VENDORS: Get to know your Photographer/Videographer before the Wedding Day helps you be more relaxed on the day. Research all your Wedding vendors before booking them and don’t just go for the cheapest option.

TRAVEL/TIME: Try to keep travel time between venues to a minimum if possible. This will often help reduce stress and avoid running late to the ceremony. Consider factors like traffic etc.

PERSONAL DETAILS: Make the little details personal for you and the groom your wedding is all about the two of you, so try to incorporate as much of your personalities into the day as you can. From the stationary and favours to the outfits and first dance, guests should say ‘that’s so them!’ Plan a Wedding Dance or an entrance to make it fun, could have guests with sparklers for an outdoor Wedding.

DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT: Photo Cannons for the ceremony can be fun and impressive way to have petals during your ceremony.

BE IN THE MOMENT & ENJOY: Every minute as it goes by so fast. Wedding planning can be stressful but if you find yourself getting too caught up in it all, take a step back and remind yourself what your wedding is really about – you marrying the love of your life!

TWIN WATERS GOLF CLUB WEDDING!!

Candice and her bridesmaids had their bridal preparations right next door at Magnolia Lane Apartments. Mitch and Candice had a few traditional aspects to their wedding day but they mostly created it they way wanted. They chose an outdoor ceremony at Twin Waters Golf club.

They wrote personalised vows for each other which made it even more special.

Candice chose to have a very long veil and a Wedding train which is more traditional. It looking elegantly beautiful and her twin sister Jess placed it beautifully for photos.

Candice and Mitch chose to include a creative sparkler session as part of their Wedding photo package. It can be worth taking 15mins out from your reception for some creative sparkler or night photos. I usually recommend doing this earlier in the night before the partying begins.

Timing is everything on your Wedding Day and being flexible with what ever happens is very important also. I usually recommend to my couples to have a timetable to allow time to ensure they have the best lighting for their photos. I suggest always allowing a little longer then you think you will need just in case. Often the bride arrives to the ceremony fashionably late so if timing is tight it can make it a little stressful.
