Are you lucky enough to be saying βI doβ in a lavish winter wedding in the upcoming weeks? Then not only will you be amazingly excited but weβre guessing, youβll be doing your best to ensure any loose ends are tied up. To make things easier, and hopefully, a lot less stressful, we thought weβd share these few last minute winter wedding tips to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible on your imminent big day. Winter wedding planning is indeed much better when done months in advance but as we all know, life doesnβt always go to plan, leaving you with things to do at the last minute. With this in mind, it can be all too easy to get carried away focusing on things that would otherwise be fine. So weβre going to draw attention to some of the more important things. First up, letβs take a look at the budget.
Itβs always incredibly important to take a last look at your budget. Most of your major expenses should already be signed and paid for, which will give you a much better idea for what you have left to spend or in some cases, where youβve gone over budget and may need to readjust. If youβre in the position where youβre still negotiating last minute prices with people such as photographers or florists, then itβs time to be upfront about what you can and more-importantly, canβt afford.
Next up, youβll want to ensure your paperwork is all in order. This prevents you from being bogged down by paperwork on the big day itself and of course prevents any mishaps that could prevent you from marrying. Youβll also want to ensure that if youβre heading out on your honeymoon straight after, you have all of the necessary paperwork that youβll need to fly out happy and stress free. Think travel money, passports, visas and of course, all the correct numbers to leave your loved ones should they need to get hold of you.
Once all of the business of budgets and paperwork is out of the way, itβs time to focus on the last minute finishing touches; from adding extras to your centrepieces to making sure the reception drinks are still what you want. For winter weddings, we find things as simple as glass jars with tea lights in make for a magical walkway, and are great especially when you donβt have much left in the budget to add a little extra sparkle.
Planning a winter wedding at the very last minute isnβt the easiest thing but it most certainly isnβt the end of the world. Itβs simply a matter of taking stock of what still needs to be done and keeping calm throughout β easier said than done, we wholeheartedly understand. Hereβs to a fabulous winter wedding at our amazing country house wedding venue, we simply canβt wait to have you here.
