If you could bottle up and keep just one thing from your wedding day, it’d be the joy. The exact feeling of saying “I do”, or perhaps when you first see each other walking down the aisle: that burst of love and happiness. That right there is your once-in-a-lifetime wedding moment. Couples who feature on English Wedding tell us again and again how amazing it feels. And only afterwards do you realise that every minute of the last however-many-months you’ve spent planning was all leading up to that moment.

Before the venue, the dress/suit, or even the guest list, there’s one thing that can make your wedding planning smoother from the start: a wedding website. And not just any website. If you’re serious about staying organised, saving time, and giving your guests a seamless experience, Say I do should be your first stop.
Planning a wedding today involves more moving parts than ever before. Digital invites, multiple events, guest groups, dietary requests, QR codes, seating plans, RSVPs, and the dreaded follow-ups. It’s a lot. But when you start your planning journey with Say I do, the stress doesn’t pile up, it gets handled.

Planning a wedding, potentially your Best Day Ever, is an exhilarating experience. However, more often than not, all of the organisation involved can also be stressful. When decision overload creeps up on you, and you’re running out of time as the big day approaches, your health can take a back seat as you prioritise all your wedding arrangements. That’s when it becomes more important than ever to carve out some time for yourselves.
I have huge respect for wedding planners. No luxury wedding should ever be without one, and I honestly believe planners are worth their weight in gold.

We’ve done a little research into how much wedding planners cost – with help from luxury UK and destination wedding planner Elegante by Michelle J. Read on for an honest look at wedding planner prices and helpful tips in finding the best wedding planner for you.

In my 15 years of writing about weddings, I’ve learned that the cost of a destination wedding depends very much on location, guest lists and styling. But in all of that time I’ve never had a detailed insight into all of the factors which can affect costs of getting married abroad. Today, that changed! I’ve been reading a fabulous article by Michelle Jacobs (luxury destination wedding planner) which really explains everything you should consider when you’re weighing up the relative costs of UK or destination weddings.
