Sometimes wedding planning can feel like a tug of war with those around you - opinions shared, strong family voices, cultural and religious traditions.....😓
Don't worry, you are not alone.
If this is you, feel free to reach out and seek the help you need to manage this balance.

“Just because.” Do you know why we do the things we do? 🤔
I always asked during my wedding planning days and the answer I got was either:
“Just because”❓
“Because you have to”❓❓
“Because that’s just the way it is”❓❓❓
Am I the only one who questioned things like this?! 🤷🏻♀️
No I am not!
Starting with the engagement ring, I will be educating you on these wedding bits and why they are the way they are!! 🙌
And if you want to shake them up? Go nuts! ✌️

Is it a girl? A boy? It’s a….. A BOOK! 📕
It’s time we normalise asking women…
❌ Not: if they’ve found someone, or ‘her’ big day, or when she will have kids, or anything about her body clock running out…
✅ But: how their CAREER is going, how their PROJECTS are going, where they WANT TO GO and WHAT THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE in life.
My baby is my book right now and I couldn’t be prouder 🙌

How do you want your family and friends to BE THERE for you during your wedding planning period? 🤔
When it comes to needing a vent space during wedding planning, it can feel hard to go to those closest to you because they're invested in the wedding too. When they hear you're frustrations you're experiencing, all they want to do is help. But more often than not, there isn't anything they can actually do. More often than not, their helping, whilst it means well, feels like it can make things worse.
All you want is for them to BE THERE. To be that ear to your frustrations. To LISTEN. 👂
How can you get them to just BE THERE you say?
This can be a hard thing to accept, but you can prepare those closest to you by simply ASKING them to be what kind of support you want/need them to be at any given time during your wedding planning.
❗️When you need advice - ask them for their opinion.
❗️When you need to vent - ask them to just be a non-judgmental ear, that you're not asking for anything else here.
❗️When you need help to carry out a task - ask them if they are able to do so.
❗️When you just need some love - ask them to hug you.
The best way for people around you to know how they can BE THERE for you during this wedding planning period, is for you to clarify what BE THERE means to you.

A wedding is probably one of the biggest events you'll ever have to organise in your life. I do not blame you for feeling overwhelmed by the task! 😓😓😓
From my own wedding planning experience, here are 3 quick tips on keeping organised during this period:
1️⃣ Creating a rough plan, and the earlier the better, will help you and your partner get a rough picture of when you'll need to do what. You can designate mini goals to specific months, and get a guidance timeline going. Even if you actually realise your initial plan was WAY off, and you go in a totally different direction - this will give you a starting point. The hardest part is often not knowing where to start so this will give you that!
2️⃣ Your wedding is most likely going to have a lot of moving parts; different parties involved; and lots of people. It truly does take a village! You're going to be getting receipts, deposit slips, quotes, samples from left right and centre. If you keep these all in the one place - a wedding box, or a physical or digital folder - it's going to be a lot easier to find everything when you need it.
3️⃣ All those moving parts are going to need to work together, and the smoothness of this will depend on how you communicate with everyone. Keep those who need to know in the loop; confirm appointments, dates, prices, etc in writing preferably; if plans change/can't be done update those relevant people ASAP and if you need help, ask. If the right people know the wrong information, your wedding planning organisation can quickly fall apart!
These are just 3 quick organising tips for planning your wedding; need more? 🙌
