Maree and Josh’s tips:
1. Don’t pick a venue unless
you absolutely love it.
2. If you want something as
part of your wedding, do it! At
the end of the day this is your
day and you need to make sure
you aren’t going to look back
and wonder, “What if?”
3. Don’t pick the dress too early
- you are bound to change your
mind! Find out the timeframe
your favourite dressmaker
usually needs to create a gown
and work backwards from the
wedding date.
4. Add some contingency into
your budget.
5. Take a week off work before
the day to make sure any last
minute jobs are taken care of
and you have time to relax with
friends and family.
6. Put together a run sheet
for the day, setting out what
people are doing hour by hour.
Give a copy to your wedding
planner, MC and bridal party.
