Wedding Planning Basics
Planning a wedding can seem a daunting task with so many people and things to organise, so many choices available and so many wedding companies offering their services. You need to cut through the clutter and get what you want, when you want it - that goes for advice, information and the wedding services and suppliers.
If you are new to our site, or wedding planning, please take a couple of minutes to read this page - this will help you to get the most from our site, and in return, the most from your wedding planning :)
We suggest you start with our When and Where to get Married article, follow on from that with the Planning a Wedding Countdown, or if you are short on time the Six Month Countdown.
Review our article on the Required Documentation next.
