I hope you’ve started 2022 off with a bang and have already achieved any New Year’s resolutions. For me personally, my goals are to make quality time for loved ones while ensuring I leave enough time for myself – it’s about finding that right balance.
This year will be one of the most exciting wedding seasons so far, with many couples tying the knot, including my close friend who has given me the honour of being a bridesmaid at her wedding – how exciting! The countdown is certainly on, and July couldn’t come around quicker.
If you’re at the start of your planning journey, then you’ve come to the right place because we cover everything from fashion and beauty advice, wedding cakes, venues and more.
Suppliers have been working hard all around the region to help couples create their dream day. My advice for all nearlyweds would be to start wedding planning early to avoid disappointment. Book your favourite suppliers first because there’s nothing worse than finding out your dream companies are fully booked.
If you’re towards the end of your planning journey, we have the perfect features to help you add the finishing touches and help solve any last minute worries or problems.
Happy planning!
