Our Top 5 DIY Wedding Resources

Friends and Family

What could be better than turning to those who know you best? Your friends and family can be a goldmine of support and advice.

Wedding Inspiration Boards

Creating inspiration boards is a fantastic way to visualise your dream wedding. Use platforms like Pinterest or Canva or Instagram to compile images, colour schemes and themes that resonate with you.

These boards will serve as a reference throughout your planning process, ensuring all your choices align with your vision for the big day.

Dress Shops and Dressmakers

Finding the perfect wedding dress is a crucial part of your planning.

Visiting dress shops and consulting with dressmakers can provide you with a range of options and personalised advice. Whether you’re looking for a custom gown or simply exploring styles, these experts will help you find a dress that fits your style and budget.

Event Venue Management

Choosing the right venue and managing it effectively is key to a successful wedding. Research venues that align with your wedding theme and guest list.

While an interesting outdoor venue might seem like the perfect choice, be aware that it can bring numerous challenges—such as weather and logistical issues—that a traditional indoor venue typically doesn’t have.

On the other hand, a traditional event venue often comes with a dedicated venue manager who can be a valuable resource and help navigate the challenges of event planning.

Ensure that the venue’s management team is responsive and helpful, as they will play a significant role in the smooth execution of your event. Check reviews, visit in person, and ask for detailed information to make an informed decision.
