Start early: The earlier you start planning your wedding, the better. This will give you plenty of time to research, gets quotes and make the right decision for you, without feeling rushed.

Set a budget: Before you start making any plans, it's important to set a budget. Decide how much you're willing to spend on each aspect of the wedding even if it’s a ball park figure as a guide. This should help you avoid overspending and unnecessary stress.

Prioritise: Make a list of what's most important to you and your partner. It could be the venue, the food, the photographer? This will help you focus on what matters most and allocate your budget accordingly.

Create a timeline: Create a timeline for when you need to make certain decisions and when you need to have everything finalised. This will help you stay on track and ensure that everything is done in a timely manner.

Do your research: Google, read blogs, listen to podcasts, read magazines, go on Pinterest. Whatever your preferred method get going as soon as you can with researching what, where, when, how and who you want to be there.

Book suppliers early: Popular wedding suppliers like photographers, florists and bands can book up quickly, so it's important to book them early. This should help ensure that you get the suppliers you want.

Tackle everything in isolation: Instead of a daunting afternoon of ‘wedding planning’ in your diary, tackle everything in isolation. Replace the overall task with specific actions like ‘email mood board to florist’, or ‘address envelopes and post’.

Get organised: Keep all of your wedding-related documents in one place, whether it's a physical folder or a digital one. This will help you stay organised and ensure that you have everything you need at your fingertips, making the process of wedding decoration planning smoother and more efficient.

Don't forget about the details: It's the little details that can make your wedding day truly special. Consider things like the entertainment, the food, drinks and special touches that reflect your personalities, and relationship and will make it yours.

Enjoy the process: Wedding planning can be stressful, but it's also an exciting time. Try to enjoy the process and have fun with it. Remember what your wedding day is really all about, celebrating your love with your partner, so don't lose sight of what's important.

In conclusion, wedding planning can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be.
