News — wedding planning

With so much amazing inspiration out there, how do you ever decide on the look of your wedding? How do you choose the colour palette where there are so many amazing shades. Do you go bright, sherbert, pastel, rainbow, muted, mono ( I know they're not actually colours but you know what I mean). And then how do you fine tune it further - you know you want bright colours but do you go bubblegum pink and buttercup with white or emerald and clementine with white? And then the look - are you thinking romantic and floaty, 70s disco, country...

I've just seen a really interesting instagram post by @thebijoubride wedding planners, stating that this year they've found their wedding clients going really bold. Having had such a tricky year with wedding plans continually being dashed and put on hold, they're finding couples being much braver and going for what they really want. Going for their dream wedding rather than some watered down version that the venue put forward.

Planning a wedding is just so hard. My advice, to help you weather the storm of information is to go to a good wedding show. Meet the creators behind the products, the designers behind the dresses, the photographers behind the camera etc. Pick up the invitations on show, feel the silk of the bridesmaids' dresses, taste the cakes..
