Whether you’re a romantic soul or are known for being incredibly down to earth, you've probably got a clear idea of what your dream wedding should look like. For now, stop worrying about things like the best dress or hairstyle for the day- these are only a matter of tastes and so of course will vary from one person to the next. What you should be thinking about is what will makes your wedding great and truly a day to remember for you, your partner and your guests. Here's how you can go about it!

Get helped by a team who understands you 

Even though it’s fashionable to be a DIY Millennial, ultimately, some people are much better than you at organising a wedding day. You can’t do it on your own. For a start, you need to find a photographer who understands what you expect – as everyone has a different perception of beauty, you need to share yours early. Take a look at this couple who planned a Danby Castle wedding reception – they hoped for a sunset picture and, on cue, the photographer delivered. How so? Because he was made part of the preps. In short, nobody can emphasise it enough: pick your team from the start and get to know each other. They’ll be the ones who make it happen. 

There’s no mystery: work your style

Forget the dress for now. The dress doesn’t matter if you don’t feel comfortable in your skin, and that, ladies, means you need to get your skincare and beauty routine on point! Your skin will go through a lot of pressure during the wedding day. From stress, heat, and sun – or cold wind depending when you get married –, there’s a lot going on. So you need to keep it hydrated, protected and smooth for the big day. If you’re worried about your figure, get into a fitness routine early – no crash diet will make you beautiful on the big day. The more you look after your main assets, the better you’ll feel about yourself. And when you feel good, nothing can ruin the day! 

Less is more when it comes to beautiful receptions

The current wedding trend is to embrace minimalist decors. Why is a minimalist approach better for you? For a start, a crowded venue might take away the sparkle of your big day. Additionally, there is no reason to spend more on touches that nobody will notice. If it’s not going to make any difference, you should instead spend the money on something else. You’ll be a lot more relaxed knowing you’ve got the essential and nothing more. 

Is there such a thing as an affordable dream wedding? The answer is yes! By working with professionals from the start and keeping your venue minimalist, you can make sure that you focus on what matters. And what matters, ultimately, is you: look after you, and everyone will look at you.
