Rushall Farm Wedding: Jennifer’s Tips for a Smooth, Stress-Free Big Day
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but with a little organisation and creativity, it can also be incredibly enjoyable. Jennifer, our lovely bride, shares her top tips to make your wedding day run smoothly.
1) Start Early
Once you’ve set your date, book the vendors and elements that matter most. The best ones get snapped up fast! For Jennifer, securing her photographer was a priority, so she booked Kristina at Imaginarium a year in advance. Other details, like flowers, could be arranged closer to the day — in fact, Jennifer bought hers from Sainsbury’s the day before and created her own bouquets and table displays!
2) Read & Subscribe to Wedding Blogs
Jennifer recommends blogs like Rock My Wedding, Rock’n’Roll Bride, Style Me Pretty, and Green Wedding Shoes. These are excellent sources of ideas, tips, and inspiration to help you plan your perfect day.
3) Get on Pinterest
Pinterest is an amazing tool for gathering inspiration and creating mood boards. You can share them with your bridal party, groom, and photographer so everyone is aligned on your vision.
4) Communicate with Your Photographer
Share examples of the shots you love. This helps your photographer understand your style, brainstorm ideas, and plan the day. Jennifer wanted photos in the golden hour light, so Kristina scheduled time to capture that perfect sunset glow.
5) Don’t Be Afraid to DIY
DIY can be a fun way to personalise your wedding — but it takes planning! Jennifer made her own flowers and table displays. It saved money and added a meaningful touch, though she notes that DIY isn’t always cheaper than buying ready-made.
6) Ask for Help
Delegate tasks to trusted friends and family. Jennifer’s support team included:
-
Mum: dress and flowers
-
Bridesmaids: cake, DIY projects, and coordinating the bridal party
-
Groom & groomsmen: music, entertainment, and drinks
-
Dad & stepmom: food coordination
This teamwork made the day manageable, fun, and full of love.
Final Thoughts
A wedding is a big undertaking, but with careful planning, teamwork, and a dash of creativity, you can create a day that’s stress-free, beautiful, and uniquely yours. Most importantly — enjoy every moment of the journey! 💛
