Wedding Planning: The Ultimate Do’s & Don’ts
Wedding Planning: The Ultimate Do’s & Don’ts – Let the Fun Begin!
You’ve said “yes,” booked your dream venue (yay!), and now the real adventure begins — planning your big day!
It’s one of the most exciting journeys of your life, and we’re here to make sure it’s fun, stress-free, and filled with all the magical moments you deserve.
At the Bridge House Hotel, our dedicated Wedding Dream Team, is right by your side, helping you with everything from finding the perfect photographer to selecting swoon-worthy florals and fabulous finishing touches.
Let’s dive into some top tips to keep your planning on track — and full of joy!
DO: Start With Research (and maybe a glass of bubbly)
We highly recommend checking in with your venue (that’s us!) to see if they have a list of tried-and-tested suppliers. We’ve worked with the best in the business, and having a team that already knows the venue can make everything run like a dream.
Hop online, read reviews, scroll through social media, and chat with friends or family who’ve tied the knot recently. There’s a treasure trove of real advice out there — and it’s often gold!
💡 Top Tip: Don’t feel rushed to book the first supplier you find. Take your time, trust your gut, and fall in love with the right team who just get your vibe.
DO: Create a Killer Shortlist
Once you’ve secured your date and venue, it’s time to lock in the key players:
📸 Photographer
🎥 Videographer
🎤 Celebrant
🎶 Band
These suppliers can only be in one place at a time – so grab your faves while you can!
Your florist, cake artist, and decor team usually have more flexibility and can be booked a little later (but still worth researching early!)
Once your dream team is confirmed, it’s time to take a breath, pop the prosecco, and enjoy the countdown to “I do.”
DON’T: Panic Book
It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement (we get it — this is your fairytale moment!), but don’t let FOMO lead to rushed decisions. The right suppliers will make you feel confident, excited, and totally in sync.
