Plan your wedding

Planning to perfection MARRIAGES might be made in

heaven but organising a wedding requires a far more down-to-earth approach.

Everyone naturally wants their special day to be memorable for the things that went right - not for shoes that pinched, the caterers that added an extra nought to the numbers and hoped no one would notice, or the

wedding llimousine’ that looked rather suspiciously like a taxi cab with a bit of ribbon stuck to it.

There are endless points that need attention, beginning with that all important decision on the date and booking the church, chapel or register office.

Saturdays are always popular so, if it’s your intention to wed at the weekend, you’ll need to fix it at least three to six months in advance.

For similar reason book caterers and reception venue at the same time, even if you’re not sure of guest numbers.

Deciding how many people to invite is the next step and should be taken jointly by both families. Tact and diplomacy are needed where one ‘side’ wants to import a coach load of thirsty, distant relatives but is unspecific about who is going to pay, likewise where a divorced parent declares “If she’s coming, then I'm not.”

Compromise, sweet compromise - “How about one of you coming to the service, the other to the reception?”

Could be the solution.

Don’t forget to arrange your honeymoon early - popular destinations are often sold out months ahead, and simply ‘making do’ with your second choice can be a lasting disappointment. Confirm your booking in writing and then re-confirm close to your departure date.

With the book-ahead-basics done, it’s then time to choose your bridesmaids, best man, ushers and page boys - and to spend time on one of the nicest tasks; shopping for that wedding dress, and for dresses and accessories for both yourself and your bridesmaids. Make sure you’ve got a picture of your wedding dress and headdress if possible - this will help your hairstylist.

WEDDING PLANNER CHECKLIST 1

Book the photographer/video company, cars, (or liaise with family and friends willing to provide transport) and beauty therapist for your wedding day make-up, and then order your wedding cake.

See the vicar again, confirm the Banns and consult him or her - about the music, confetti, bells and the Order of service etc.

Send out invitations (at least six weeks before your big day), and remember to keep a list of who has accepted and who has refused. Book a hotel for the wedding night.

Arrange wedding stationery, including invitations (‘Mr and Mrs James Smith request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter’ etc) and Order of Service sheets.

Allow four to six weeks for this.

Send invitations out at least six weeks prior to your wedding.

Draw up a wedding present list - this is one of the most enjoyable chores - so make sure you make the most of it.

Choose your wedding ring and going-away outfit; organise floral arrangements for the church and reception; order

bouquets, buttonholes etc and send out wedding present lists to those who request one.

The final stages include: letting the caterers know the final reception numbers, having a full dress rehearsal of the wedding, checking all of the details again, and arranging for your honeymoon suitcases to be taken to the reception venue.

Finally, the day of the wedding arrives - make sure you set your alarm clocks - it’s traditional for the bride to be a little late, but sharing a service with the next group in line isn’t exactly the ideal scenario.

Make sure the best man has the ring and that the groom has his speech.

Don’t forget to take a cheque book along to pay the church fees, and remember to take along the presents for attendants and parents.

Not surprisingly, some people leave everything to a professional wedding organiser.

Yet most brides love the excitement of all the preparations. That’s how it should be - but don’t hesitate to get help if you need it and delegate tasks wherever possible.

Set a date, and then make arrangements to see either the vicar or the registrar.

2 Book the caterers and the reception venue.

3 Draw up a guest list with the help of both families.

4 Book your honeymoon.

5 Choose your bridesmaids, best man and ushers.

6 Shop till you drop for that wedding dress, bridesmaids' dresses, accessories and those wedding rings.

7 Book all the transport required, the photographer/video firm, hairdresser, beautician, and order the cake.

8 Send out your wedding invitations.

9 Prepare your wedding present list.

10 Organise floral arrangements, bouquets etc 11 Keep track of who accepts/refuses invitations etc 12 Finalise numbers for the reception, notify caterers, hold a wedding dress rehearsal and finally, re-check all details from the cars to the cake and from the flowers to the photography.

Love doesn’t make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

lia’s East Ang Secret Best Kept

Fresh ingredients and ďŹ ne produce – locally sourced where possible – are used with our unique recipes, resulting in sensory masterpieces. Good food with friendly, professional service are the order of the day, with Tapas sharing menus and Medieval Banquets a speciality.

Close, long-lasting client relationships are immensely important to us – and some go back 16-20 years.

We have had a very eventful year, with ongoing contracts being won with Ampthill Rugby Football Club and The Old Court House in Ampthill. We’ve also catered for weddings, parties, corporate entertainment as well as grand openings.

These have taken place in a variety of venues including private homes, village halls, company premises, marquees and even, most recently, in a state-of-the-art hangar at Luton Airport for Gulfstream.

For most of us, it’s not often that we’ll be putting our hand in our pocket to buy dinner for all our friends and family, so ensure that on this one joyous occasion when you do, the food is good.

Really, really good!

If you’re true foodies then you’ll have plenty of ideas to discuss with your caterers but if your pleasure in food begins and ends with eating then take advice from the professionals when planning your menu!

Your bridal bouquet is the accessory of a lifetime but if you can’t tell a Sweet Pea from a Stock and think that Scabious is a nasty disease then be sure to consult the experts! The choice of bouquet generally comes after you’ve chosen your dress so that the colours and shapes are complimentary.

Sex in the City

Finding the perfect dress is a daunting task but hey, it’s also an incredibly exciting one.

Be sure to arm yourself with a digital camera, a scrapbook of favourite dresses, a couple of trusty friends and a strapless bra!

Start early – it may take longer than you think, try on styles and shapes that you know will work for you but also listen to the advice of the professionals – sometimes a dress that holds no appeal on the hanger will have the trusty friends clapping and glassy eyed with approval.

The best romance is inside marriage; the finest love stories come after the wedding, not before.

Irving Stone

With many couples setting up home before they marry, more often than not, a wedding gift list is now likely to feature dream holiday destinations rather than matching towel sets and toasters.

Weddings are wonderful, of course, but they’re also hard work so a honeymoon is essential post big day therapy!

Bridget Jone’s Diary

This is one day that mismatched undies just will not do! It may well be that to achieve a silky smooth silhouette in your dream frock you’ll need some industrial strength underwear but be sure to also splash out on some utterly impractical but completely gorgeous, frilly lingerie.

Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.

Dorothea Lange

After all the thought and preparation that has gone into making your big day perfect, it’s essential to capture every single element of it, from location, to flowers, to guests, to you!

Don’t book a photographer that you don’t feel comfortable with, as it’s essential to feel relaxed and able to shine when in the spotlight (or flash light!).

Ever thine. Ever mine. Ever ours.

Ludwig Van Beethoven

Ah, the romance of the engagement ring! Sure there’s the proposal with the soft romantic tunes, the roses, the champagne, oh and the man, but really what it’s all about is the ring. A circle of metal and some stones that strangely satisfies the craving of many a woman’s heart.
