1-Book a venue for both the ceremony and the reception (decide whether church or civil ceremony) 12-24 months in advance at least AND caterers if necessary- oh and a bridal suite too might be nice for afterwards!

2 – Book the photographer – again 12-24 months in advance. If you want to choose from a variety of wedding photographers use a wedding directory such as http://www.ourweddingmemories.co.uk , http://www.uk-wedding-photographers.com/ or 4 – Book the wedding car if needing to travel between venues (eg home-church-reception)5 – Book DJ/ musicians/ any entertainers you might like for the dead time between end of meal and start of evening do.6 – Plan your guest list 7 – Get the invitations done – they will need to go out at least 2 -6 months before the chosen date, as people tend to book their holidays in January/Feb, that’s a good time to start with invitations too, but check with your stationery specialist first, as they tend to be very busy that time of the year too.8 – Fashions – and more to the point – figures CHANGE – the actual purchase shouldn’t be too soon – about 3 months before the wedding is fine – or you might be left with a dress you can’t use! See our advice page on choosing wedding dresses here – well what to avoid really! http://weddingphotos-video.co.uk/blog/?p=471 and bridesmaid’s/pageboy’s outfits – Book the florist 10 -Book the hairdresser – particularly if you want their personal services at you place of getting ready (home-hotel etc)11 – If you haven’t already got the wedding rings – don’t forget those as you may need alterations or even a special design making uniquely for you two with your names engraved inside…12 – Buy or make wedding favours and room decorations/seat covers/balloons 13 – Buy a guest book for guests to sign/put comments in – or a big photo of yourselves which they sign and you frame afterwards 14 – Don’t bother with disposable cameras, as although they might seem a good idea – its mainly the children who use them and even the adults take a load of rubbish (might be a bit biased here but brides also tell me that too!)15 – Keep all people’s/suppliers contact numbers in your phone and on a check list so if a supplier fails to turn up when expected on or around your wedding day you can contact them immediately before it is too late – check with them ALL the week before too, so they get a reminder and you have peace of mind.
