Wedding

Weddings are a massive undertaking, whether you’re having an intimate affair or going all out. Between finalising the guest list, choosing the venue, and the decor, there are so many details to think about before the big day even arrives. It can be overwhelming and sometimes stressful, but thankfully, there are a few things that can make planning easier on your nerves. Keep reading to discover 5 little changes that can make a big difference in your wedding

Besides the wedding dress or tuxedo, jewellery is one of the single most important items that you’ll be wearing on your wedding day. It’s also one of the most difficult to shop for because you’ll be wearing pieces like wedding bands and earrings long after your special day is over! One little change to make in your wedding is to choose custom high-end diamond jewellery that you know you’ll wear long-term. That doesn’t mean opting for the most practical piece you can find – it means choosing something with a design, style, colour, and finish you love that fits your personality. From individual and matching wedding bands to elegant earrings and necklaces, high-quality, custom jewellery will make all the difference!

Flowers and greenery are essential parts of the venue’s decor that help make your wedding look and feel exactly as you imagined it would. While there are countless beautiful flower options to choose from, going for local and in-season flowers will make a huge impact.  Certain flowers are not in bloom year-round, meaning that they’ll need to be shipped in from somewhere that they are – even if that’s out of the country. Choosing local, in-season flowers ensures that your flowers are fresh and will last as long as possible for your wedding since they don’t require extra travel time. Plus, it saves on your budget!

With all the moving details you have on your to-do list, hiring a professional photographer seems like the least of your concerns. But while flowers will eventually wilt and the food will be consumed sooner rather than later, your photos last a lifetime. Professionals know exactly what they’re doing and will provide you with the high-quality, stunning images that you want and expect from your photographer. Unlike many amateur photographers, pro photographers know how to adapt to lighting and weather changes, the big and small key moments to look out for, and what looks good (and what doesn’t). They won’t just take pictures of your wedding – they’ll capture memories that’ll transport you right back to your special day each time you look at them.

Though it’s a wedding tradition, more and more modern couples are opting out of offering wedding favours – and for good reason. Oftentimes, guests don’t even take their favours home with them, leaving you with boxes of wedding favours that you need to pack up and bring with you, or even worse, throw them out. Remember that favours are completely optional!

Opting out of favours saves you time putting them together, the stress of picking out favours, and your wedding budget. Instead, put that money into wedding elements that you and your guests can enjoy, like a fun photo booth, live entertainment, an open bar, or extra desserts. Let it become your opportunity to turn your wedding into a more memorable experience that brings your friends and family together!

Your music is just as important as the decor – and requires the same level of thought and care. Music sets the tone and atmosphere for the entire night, making the difference between uninterested guests on their phones and everyone hitting the dance floor. If you’re looking to set the perfect soundtrack to your wedding, hiring a professional DJ or live music is your best bet.

Why not just make a playlist instead? Much like professional photographers, pro DJs provide experience, equipment, and value for their craft. They know how to naturally flow with the evening and the mood of the room and will have a unique variety of music – all played with a top-notch sound system that makes your day feel special. Live music provides the same experience, creating a mood that’s unmatched by any playlist an amateur creates.

While the big aspects like decor and attire are crucial, t’s the little details that can make all the difference. A few or even just one small change can help give you peace of mind and bring you that much closer to making your dream day come true.
