So , who better to ask for wedding planning advice than a winning events planning team ? Fiona Owens , Events Team Manager at Salomons Estate gives us her expert advice for organising your dream day .
BEGIN WITH YOUR BUDGET The first thing anyone should consider before deciding on anything , including the venue , is the budget . Then , write a list of people you would like to attend your day . Ensure you prioritise the things that are most important to you on your wedding day , for example your photographer , food or décor , and make sure you add in a realistic buffet for back up too !
THINK ABOUT TIMINGS Consider what time of year you would ideally like to get married and also the fact that your wedding budget will play a very important part when it comes to which date you hold your wedding . For example , if you are hoping to hold your wedding over a weekend in the summer , then the venue rates would be higher when compared to a date in say , October .
Other factors to consider when choosing a date , are the colours you would like to proceed with for your wedding party , the flowers you would like - as these may not be in season in certain months and décor of the venue ; if you choose a date in November or December your venue is highly likely to have Christmas decorations up .
