We go behind the scenes with Joanne Scott , co-founder of The Wedding Dolls to get the lowdown on everything you need to know to plan the perfect big day
Can you tell us a bit about The Wedding Dolls and what you do to help couples for their big day ?
The Wedding Dolls turn dreams into reality . Planning a wedding is no small feat . For couples , it ’ s a whirlwind of decisions , emotions , and expectations leading up to one of the most important days of their lives . But while couples pour over details for months on end , there ’ s one thing they can ’ t be in control of and that ’ s what happens on the day .
This is where The Wedding Dolls come in , offering a comprehensive , behind-the-scenes service that ensures the big day runs smoothly — so the couple , their family and bridal party can truly enjoy the moment .
At The Wedding Dolls , our role begins long before the big day . We are a trusted sounding board for all those last-minute questions . Couples naturally start overthinking and anxiety tends to kick in so whether it ’ s calming a bride ’ s nerves about seating arrangements or offering advice on how to handle tricky family dynamics , we ’ re here to listen and guide . By the time the big day arrives , couples can rest easy , knowing we ’ ve already addressed every detail and contingency .
For many couples , the process of coordinating a wedding can be stressful – how do you and the team help to alleviate the stress ?
A calm , guiding presence . Our mission on the wedding day is simple : peace of mind . We work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything goes off without a hitch , giving the couple the freedom to focus on what truly matters : celebrating with their loved ones .
We don ’ t just show up on the wedding day ; we support throughout the entire planning process via our unique planning portal . At the point of booking we write a detailed timeline with the couple , they then use this as their guide and fill in all the blanks as and when the items are organised with their suppliers . Our expertise enables us to highlight via their bespoke planning portal all the logistical elements they will need to consider to bring their vision to life .
