This afternoon we are back with our regular feature ?Advice from the Married Side,? real life wedding planning advice from all the lovely brides and grooms I have featured on the blog.
I get to feature so many amazing real weddings here on the blog and with each wedding I ask the couple to share with us their wedding planning knowledge and experiences. This post is a super useful collection of wedding wisdom from those who have just got married, to help you on your own wedding planning journey. I hope there will be something amongst these experiences that help you. Happy Planning!

General Advice

Weddings are as cheap or expensive as you make it! We gave ourselves enough time to save money getting crafty before the big day with the bridal party ? we loved our weekends pre-wedding-ing! Hire positive and energetic people.
And, brides ? do a speech! Why should the man do a speech on your behalf, its 2019 and I can bet you do most of the planning for your wedding.
Etsy is your best friend.
If you can find a way to pay for a videographer, do it ? moving images from the day are so precious.
Use petals as confetti, as this is not damaging to the environment, but do not, I repeat DO NOT use very dried petals, as these got stuck in my hair and I ruined my hair trying to get them out.
The best thing about weddings is that everyone does it differently to suit them so roll with that and it?ll end up just how you wanted...
