Just got married, great – now what???
WEDDING PLANNING
If you have no idea where to start with wedding planning, give yourself a couple of weeks to do some fun research. Scroll online, read some blogs and buy a couple of magazines… just to wet the whistle.
I suggesting purchasing the Rock n Roll Bride Magazine (or new Rock N Roll Bride Book she has out) as it’s always good to flick through something physical. Here are a few wedding blogs which you may give you some ideas.
- THE OXFORD WEDDING BLOG (obvs!)
- ROCK MY WEDDING
- LOVE MY DRESS
- ROCK N ROLL BRIDE
- Also, don’t forget to start an inspiration board on PINTEREST
FIND A WEDDING VENUE
So after you’ve done some fun visual research, the next thing to do is to find your wedding venue. This is the hardest and probably most stressful part of wedding planning. You go from flicking through very cool blogs to the reality of everything being bloody expensive, not being exactly what you want, dates not matching, and having to compromise. This is probably the time when you’ll realistically realise what kind of budget you need.
OXFORDSHIRE WEDDING VENUE
If you are thinking of getting married in Oxfordshire take a peek at the OXFORD VENUE category in this blog for inspiration, or if you’re looking for something a bit different have a read of this blog post 10 ALTERNATIVE WEDDING VENUES or even 12 CITY WEDDING VENUES IN OXFORD.
VENUE TICK?
Once you have found your venue, everything else falls into place, I promise! You will be indirectly setting your budget, choosing your style, fixing your date, and deciding roughly the amount of people coming to your wedding. That’s why finding the venue is the biggest stress!
SHARE YOUR WEDDING DATE
The venue may only have a few dates available so once you’ve chosen a date, let people know as soon as possible. People are so busy and get booked up – even up to a year in advanced! So if you don’t have time to make a fancy save the date card, just text everyone, or email a ‘save the date’ so everyone can firmly put it in their diary.
