Whether you're hiring a wedding planner or not - it’s widely known that planning a wedding can sometimes feel overwhelming.
We’ve seen it first-hand; many happy couples (and their guests) enjoyed their big day at Stancliffe. From our experience, weddings are a magical day to cherish for a lifetime when planned well, and we want to help you plan your wedding to perfection.
If you are a bride—or-groom-to-be, here are our top tips to help your Peak District wedding go perfectly and remain as stress-free as possible.
Create and manage your wedding budget
Set your wedding budget. Before making any decisions about your Peak District wedding, you need to decide your target budget because it will be an essential factor for many of your wedding decisions.
A wedding pro tip by Lynn Easton (founder of Easton Events) is to be honest about your budget and allow up to 10% for surprises (e.g., setup and breakdown fees, custom cocktails, envelope stuffing, and more).
Manage Your Peak District Wedding Suppliers
DIY wedding décor items may save you money while also adding a unique personal touch to the wedding. Nonetheless, don't go overboard, or you'll find yourself with more work than you can handle! Favours, welcome bags, and other DIY crafts may all be done ahead of time. Professional assistance is advisable for items like wedding flowers and meals.
We see many frustrated couples that don’t realise the full scope of costs a wedding involves. That’s why we’ve put together a list of our favourite suppliers here at Stancliffe. A best practice is to consider at least a handful of alternatives to confirm that the wedding day partners understand your wedding ideas and can operate within your target budget.
Alternatively, you can book a chat with a wedding planner to help you organise the wedding and save money. One top tip is that rectangular wedding invitations will save you money on postage because many mailing services’ machines can’t process square-shape letters. At the same time, others prefer RSVPs and let guests answer through email. It is up to you, but we are here to help!
