Are you planning a<br />
Wedding?<br />
A selection of tips from EHL Events, for DIY Brides... www.ehlevents.co.uk<br />
Don’t be afraid to have too many ideas<br />
There is nothing better than to meet a couple<br />
brimming with enthusiasm and ideas. Make a list<br />
of everything that you have either seen or think<br />
might work. Define that list by what you love – it<br />
doesn’t matter if you are missing key areas in<br />
the beginning. It’s a fun process and you can get<br />
others involved too, to give you their suggestions<br />
and fill in the blanks. The process of elimination<br />
via budget, availability or others will soon present<br />
your ideal wedding.<br />
Try something different<br />
Just because it isn’t ‘in’ for <strong>2015</strong> or it sounds a bit<br />
strange to your friends – go for different ideas<br />
and surprise your guests. Planning a summer<br />
wedding? Instead of having an evening BBQ<br />
or Hog roast… why not try street food vending<br />
- from paella to fish and chips, Mexican to<br />
Mediterranean… a choice of food from around<br />
the world will be sure to wet anyone’s appetite.<br />
Not sure what to arrange<br />
for entertainment?<br />
Why not hire street performers, choreograph<br />
a dance with your bridesmaids, set up a music<br />
station or bring in some fire dancers. Make your<br />
cake cutting a full-blown event — use indoor<br />
sparklers, have someone wheel the cake to<br />
the middle of the dance floor with the lights<br />
dimmed… There are so many ways to keep it<br />
interesting and sometimes more importantly,<br />
within budget.<br />
Get your family and friends involved<br />
I am a huge advocate for getting friends and<br />
family together. The chances are, you’ll know<br />
someone that could make your bunting and<br />
wedding favours. Or perhaps provide additional<br />
or sole photography. There could even be<br />
someone to make the wedding cake. And what’s<br />
more – they’ll most likely be honoured to have<br />
been able to contribute to your Big Day.<br />
Be mindful of your guests<br />
Basic comforts ensure that you have thought<br />
about your guests. Offer blankets at outdoor<br />
receptions, flip flops for dance floors, bottles<br />
of water in the height of summer or accessible<br />
cushioned chairs for those less able.<br />
Above all else…<br />
Styling, logistics and delivery of a wonderful<br />
event, requires the very basic air of simplicity.<br />
Whether you’re a DIY bride, Wedding Planner<br />
or just a friend helping to co-ordinate – keep<br />
it simple.<br />
