When planning a wedding, I’m just going to say it quickly so as not to freak you out, there’s a steep learning curve (even for someone hyper organised like me, who already liked planning social events). For the most part, it’s the first time you’ve planned a wedding and figuring out how to navigate your way through can, at times, be tricky. Yes, there is of course plenty of sequins and champagne too – fear not, but especially if you’re one of the first in your friendship group to get hitched there may be no one on hand that’s been around this particular mountain to help. What’s more, is as much as your Mum will want to help you out, the wedding world has changed A LOT in a generation, as my own Mother will happily attest. Cue your new best friends, Bride Society!
I’ve often heard the phrase, and probably said it myself; “hindsight is a wonderful thing” or “live and learn”. Well, and now’s here me saying it again, Laura and I (Rebecca) have both lived and learned the wedding planning journey. Part of the reason we set up Bride Society! We have “been there, done that” (though yet to get the t-shirt, but give me a hot minute!), lived the process from “Yes!” to “I do!”. And with that in mind we feel it would be remiss of us not to pass on the pearls of wisdom learned along the way to the next generation of brides and grooms to be so that you may avoid some of the missteps and pitfalls that we encountered / narrowly dodged.
So, get yourself prepared with today’s video and pave the way for sequins and champagne!
