Bring on spring
| Q | We're planning our spring wedding, but we're unsure where to start. Do you have any ideas? |
| A | Holly Annetts says: A spring wedding will be fantastic, and the first place to start would be to look for a venue. The time of year in this country can bring all sorts of wonderful weather, so ensure your venue has a back-up option indoors in case of bad weather for al fresco events. Umbrellas can make for great wedding photos, but warmer areas for your guests to congregate are essential. Consider how much natural lighting you can get indoors, as spring is about lighter mornings and evenings. There's also a demand for beautiful pastel colours, and there are plenty of ways that you can include these shades. Putting the focus on your flowers and bridesmaids' dresses are the easiest ways to add colour to your wedding – think light and bright! As spring is the season of new life, flower seeds can make great sustainable wedding favours for the guests to take home. |

Planning SOS
| Q | I'm feeling stressed and overwhelmed by the planning process. What are your top tips for creating a stress-free wedding? |
| A | Mickayla Lawrie says: Most couples can feel these emotions when planning their wedding; so here are two helpful key points to focus on! Concentrate on what makes you both happy when planning the wedding, and remember the day is for you both to enjoy. Take time away from everyone else during the wedding to reflect on the special moments together. Try to be organised by making a list, setting up a joint email or even creating a spreadsheet to stay on track. It never hurts to have another set of eyes check everything, so ask for help from a professional, a friend or a family member. Let them see your list to double-check you've covered everything. |
