Weโ€™ve all heard of the baby blues, but did you know that post Wedding blues is a very real thing? When your Wedding is over and all the dust has settled, it can creep up on us very unexpectedly and understandably so! Take note of these 5 useful tips for banishing those post Wedding blues!

โœจAsk your guests to add their favourite memory of your Wedding day when theyโ€™re signing your guestbook, so that you have snippets of your day to read back over which may include details that you had missed during the day while you were floating on your marry cloud.

โœจ Make sure you have plans after your big day! No honeymoon? No problem! Make sure you forward plan at least one date day/night per month, eg- movie night, gig, dinner date, cooking together, ghost hunt, theatre, games night, whatever you like to do together, book it in ahead of time and give yourselves something to keep looking forward to!

โœจTalk about how youโ€™re feeling to friends and family members whoโ€™ve had weddings before. They may be able to tell you what helped them move past these feelings. Itโ€™s always good to know your feelings are normal and totally valid.

โœจTake up a weekly hobby together. Set yourselves a new challenge! Ever fancied learning a new language? Pottery? Salsa dancing? Cookery? What better time to find a new skill than with your newlywed partner in crime.

โœจPrioritise self care. Take your meds and or vitamins. Have that bubble bath. Whatever keeps your head happy, do it. Whether itโ€™s a walk, a gym session, an early night or a whole bar of chocolate with a good book. If it makes you happy then itโ€™s definitely a positive!

โœจRemind yourself that no more Wedding planning means you will free up a LOT of time to do other things and in turn will relieve a lot of stress. Itโ€™s not always a negative thing having less to do. Reward yourself for planning the kick ass wedding of your dreams with plenty of rest and reminiscing by looking back at photos, reading your guest book and of course, more time for just the two of you ๐Ÿ–ค

It's FINALLY here - the big day! All the planning, all the waiting....but hang on...OH HELL! I HATE HAVING MY PHOTO TAKEN!
We get it, and honestly, we hear it all the time. . So here are some tips to reduce and hopefully banish that icky photo fear!

โœจ ๐˜พ๐™๐™ค๐™ค๐™จ๐™š ๐™– ๐™ฅ๐™๐™ค๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™œ๐™ง๐™–๐™ฅ๐™๐™š๐™ง ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™ง๐™š๐™ก๐™–๐™ฉ๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™ค - Of course style is important but if anxiety is something you struggle with, we highly recommend booking a photographer you can identify with. You are spending all day with this person, you might even see them more that your partner on the wedding day so they should DEFINITELY make you feel comfortable & confident!

โœจ ๐™‘๐™ค๐™ž๐™˜๐™š ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง ๐™˜๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™š๐™ง๐™ฃ๐™จ - A follow on from above but you'd be surprised how many people feel like they have to keep their fears & feelings bottled up. Talk to your photographer about how you feel, or even better have a practise with them (more on that below).

โœจ ๐™Ž๐™–๐™ฎ ๐™‰๐™Š ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™จ๐™ค๐™˜๐™ž๐™–๐™ก๐™จ - Sometimes it's not the photo itself, but more the pressure and lack of privacy that can only be social media! These days everyone has a camera phone, but not everyone can take a flattering photo (yikes!) You can ABSOLUTELY request that your wedding photos are not shared on social media! Both from your guests AND your photographer.

โœจ ๐˜ฝ๐™ค๐™ค๐™  ๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™–๐™œ๐™š๐™ข๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™จ๐™š๐™จ๐™จ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ - Seems a bit backwards I know..."photos are my nightmare, why would I want to do more?!" But this is a great way to work with your photographer and come up with an approach that works well for you. You get to know each other, they can learn how you are as a couple, your likes and dislikes and you can compare the experience to the outcome ahead of the big day itself!

โœจ ๐™†๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ฌ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š๐™ง๐™š ๐™ž๐™จ ๐™ฃ๐™ค ๐™ค๐™—๐™ก๐™ž๐™œ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ - Know that at the end of the day, this is your wedding. Made up of your unique and personal decisions. If you feel that couples photos are REALLY not for you - no one is forcing you. There is no obligation. Perhaps consider video to capture the highlights of your day or even a content creator for a more informal approach.

1. ๐˜ฟ๐™€๐™‡๐™€๐™‚๐˜ผ๐™๐™€. Youโ€™ve chosen your wedding tribe for a reason. Theyโ€™re the ones youโ€™ve been able to count on since day one. Use them wisely! These guys arenโ€™t just good looking aisle accessories, theyโ€™re here to help you with your planning from beginning to end. Get them to help you find the suppliers they know youโ€™ll love! Do this again closer to the time for jobs on the day, put someone in charge of making sure each area is covered. This will allow you to make the most of every part of your wedding day.

2. (๐™†๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ค๐™› ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™จ๐™–๐™ข๐™š ๐™–๐™จ 1, ๐™—๐™ช๐™ฉ ๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™ž๐™ข๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™จ๐™š๐™ก๐™›) ask suppliers to contact a member of your party on the morning, instead of you. Give all suppliers a few different numbers of people who youโ€™ll be spending your morning with, so that they can be on phone duty for the day and you can focus on being present.

3. ๐™‚๐™ž๐™ซ๐™š ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง๐™จ๐™š๐™ก๐™› ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ข๐™š! Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to plan your Wedding. A year or two is ideal as youโ€™ll have plenty of time to start reaching out to venues, suppliers and friends and family ensuring you can lock in dates with your dream vendors and give family and friends plenty of time to plan being available for your big day. Itโ€™s never too early to start enquiring and booking!

4. ๐™๐™๐™ž๐™จ ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™š ๐™ข๐™–๐™ฎ ๐™จ๐™š๐™š๐™ข ๐™ค๐™—๐™ซ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ช๐™จ ๐™—๐™ช๐™ฉ ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ชโ€™๐™™ ๐™—๐™š ๐™จ๐™ช๐™ง๐™ฅ๐™ง๐™ž๐™จ๐™š๐™™ ๐™๐™ค๐™ฌ ๐™ข๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฎ ๐™ฅ๐™š๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™ก๐™š ๐™™๐™ค๐™ฃโ€™๐™ฉ ๐™™๐™ค ๐™ž๐™ฉ. Keep everything in one folder together. Whether you like digital files or a good old ring binder, every invoice, confirmation, payment you make, receipt you receive, put it in a folder. This just makes everything SO accessible and easy when dealing with finances and timings. Definitely one of the easiest ways to ward off stress with simple organisation.

5. ๐™’๐™šโ€™๐™ซ๐™š ๐™จ๐™–๐™ž๐™™ ๐™ž๐™ฉ ๐™—๐™š๐™›๐™ค๐™ง๐™š, ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ฌ๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™ž๐™ก๐™ก ๐™จ๐™–๐™ฎ ๐™ž๐™ฉ ๐™–๐™œ๐™–๐™ž๐™ฃ. Let your vendors work out timings themselves. They do this every single day. We are here to make sure your day runs as smoothly and effortlessly for you as possible. Weโ€™ve got your back!

Bank holiday weekend - ideal for weddings and wedding planning! We're all busy working weddings this weekend but with all that hustle and bustle we wanted to check in with a reminder...

โšก REMEMBER WHAT'S IMPORTANT (spoiler alert: it's you guys!)

"I really can't tell you how good our engagement session was for us.... wedding stuff has been a bit all consuming and the photoshoot and the photos are solid, tangible reminders of how much we love to laugh and goof about as well as the deep affection we have for each other." - M&A, real couple.

In today's chaotic and busy life, planning a wedding on top of everyday life can really take the shine off. But remember that your wedding in it's entirety should be joyful, fun and a celebration of your love! Not just the day itself, but the planning process too.

Allow this time to bring you closer together by...
๐Ÿ–ค Communicating your ideas and making choices together.
๐Ÿ–ค Choosing a wedding day that reflects your relationship.
๐Ÿ–ค Scheduling set days/times dedicated to wedding planning rather than it be intertwined with your everyday.
๐Ÿ–ค It's okay to take your time.

On the day...
๐Ÿ–ค Check in with each other throughout.
๐Ÿ–ค Remember to have fun and give yourselves time to enjoy it!
