There is so much to remember in planning a wedding, that it’s eye-watering. One bride commented to me recently that the job of wedding planner is “not for the faint-hearted”. Its all about planning as far as we see it and ticking off that list. Here are a few must-haves that everyone forgets to tell you!

1. Remember to buy a small matching handbag and fill it with tissues, waterproof mascara, deodorant, mints and lipstick; remember to hand to a bridesmaid or your wedding planner during the service
2. Upon delivery of your invites and order of service, keep a couple for your memory box; on the day, they might go walkabout, never to be seen again!
3. Make sure the best man has spare sets of cufflinks for the bridal party if organisation isn’t their forte!
4. Don’t forget the teetotallers when planning your drinks. An elderflower spritzer or peach punch makes a luxurious change from orange juice
5. Remember to budget and arrange food and drink for your wedding suppliers; they work harder when well fed!
