1. Do damage control – ask your florist to bring a spare boutonniere or two, in case one gets lost or damaged.

2. Prepare for the worst – Pack an emergency kit with eye drops, mints, a stain-remover stick, nail polish, and fashion tape for wardrobe malfunctions.

3. Be considerate – Bring along a few pairs of earplugs for any guest who finds the music at the reception a bit too loud.

4. Take cover – If there’s rain in the forecast, stock up on umbrellas and arrange for friends to help guests get from their cars into the venue.

5. Arm yourself – have tissues on hand or, for your something blue, a lovely blue hanky. You never know when tears will flow.

6. Make contact – Tuck a contact list of all vendors in your handbag. Be sure to get their weekend on-call numbers!

7. Get shot of it – if you haven’t already, hand over your shot list to your photographer so no vital photos are missed.

8. Ring it in – The rings! Who’s got them? Make sure they are in the right hands (traditionally, this is the job of the best man).

You’ve selected the card for your invites, argued over the font, debated the wording … but, have you considered these points below?

1. It’s courtesy to send an invitation to close family or friends who have already told you that they can’t make your big day. If they’re important to you, show you care. For the sake of a few extra dollars, you’ll make them feel just a tad special, and they’ll have a momento even though they can’t be present.

2. Double check how your envelopes are addressed, particularly if your affair is a very formal one. If they’re a doctor, for instance, use that instead of Mr or Mrs!

3. Are you having a wedding gift registry? In that case, ensure it is noted on the invitation!

4. If you’re enclosing RSVP cards and expect them to be posted back to you (as opposed to an email or wedding website), then please go to the extra expense of adding a postage stamp!

5. If you’re personalising your invites, be sure to include ALL parties and family members who are invited. For instance, on the invite for your aunt and uncle, don’t leave off a cousin if you anticipate them being there. The same goes with long-term partners of close friends – if they’ve been in a relationship for some time, it’s hardly likely one will turn up without the other!

6. On a similar note, if you are permitting plus-ones …. it’s good form to get the plus one’s name; not only for the invite, but also for name cards and place settings.

7. Before you drop all the addressed invites into the mail, double check you’ve added the right postage. By the time you bundle an RSVP card, a map and directions, a fancy closure or diamante, etc into the ornate envelope, you may well find you’re over the limit for standard postage! It’s especially important to check this for offshore items, and vital if you have an odd-shaped invite and envelope!

8. Lastly, while you may pride yourself on being critical, get a third party to proof read your invites before they are printed! All too often you can read the same thing five or six times and STILL miss small errors!

This year’s wedding season is in full swing with some new trends and musts. If you don’t know how to make your nuptials trendy and on point, here are some hot trends you should keep your eye on.

Unique invitations If you want your guests to be excited for the wedding from the very beginning, then you must have some eye-catching invitations. Just some of the trends in that department are glow-in-the-dark ink invitations, Plexiglas, stamps and some very bold envelopes. This way, your invitation will never get misplaced or forgotten.

Add a splash of colour While neutrals and pastels have always been a safe way to go when it comes to weddings, in 2017 bold colours are where it’s at. What you’re going to see are some bright colour pairings and bold shades. Since greenery is the Colour of the Year, you can expect to see a lot of this earthy and vibrant shade everywhere, from napkins to bridesmaids’ dresses. This colour is perfect for all seasons, venues and themes.

Bring it to life Wedding decorators are going back to nature, filling venues with potted trees and plants, and decorating tables with wood and stone. Those nature elements will make your nuptials look like a fairytale wedding. Don’t hesitate to supersize your bouquets and revisit some of the oldschool elements such as pageants and cascades.

Yeah, you’ve heard it all before … lists, lists and more lists. But seriously, you only get one chance to get things right, so it pays to go over your To Do items again and again. Have you really thought of it all?

LEGALITIES Ensure you have your officiant booked and your marriage licence sorted.

ORDER Have you written up an order of the day sheet? Having a program to work with makes it easier for all your suppliers to coordinate, and for those helping out on the day to stick to schedule. Include cellphone numbers for all suppliers, assistants, the venue staff, your photographer, and of course the bride and groom.

MUSIC Have you booked your DJ and sorted your playlist out? Go through your song choices carefully. We saw a note recently about breakup songs sounding, quite often, like love songs!

READINGS Have you asked anyone to give a reading during your ceremony? Whatever you do, don’t have a dozen people standing up to have their moment. The general rule is 3 readings or songs max, and around 90 seconds each in length.

RITUALS Couples tying the knot quite often want to include some form of ritual in their ceremony. Whether it’s lighting candles together, performing a sand ceremony, sipping champagne, skulling a shot of tequilla or vodka, or breaking a glass/plate … do check that it’s okay with your venue first. Check also that your chosen ritual sits well with both the bride and groom, and parents or family. In today’s world of multi-cultural weddings, this could be an issue!

Tablescape Decorate the wooden table with geodes and gems that will stand out – think purple, rose or clear quartz and amethyst. For structure, add geometric vases and candleholders. For the platting, go with white with gold edges, paired with gold cutlery wrapped in ripped soft lilac silk ribbon. Use gold scripted ink on the name tags layered on a lilac cloth.

Indoor Tablescape The main difference with the inside setting is that it was more elaborate and formal.

Centerpiece & DIY Dare to be different and to really leave an impression on your guests. Cow skulls may seem a little too eccentric, but you can glam things up to your own liking and add your own touches. We purchased one for $50, spray painted it white with gold horns, glued on the lace and embellished it with pearls, diamantes, jewels and a sparkling earring dropping from its forehead. We made it romantic and feminine in our own way.

Food All of your guests will be eagerly awaiting dessert, so continue the theme and make it extra special for them! Go with a crowd favourite: macarons. Sprinkle some gold glitter and flakes onto them. Add berry-filled desserts for a rich contrast of reds and purples. To continue through with a casual vibe, you can’t go wrong with a high tea spread.

Lighting The daylight hours will provide that soft natural lighting, but you’ll likely be celebrating far into the night, so keep the atmosphere inviting and romantic by hanging some lights from the tree above. Tie glass candle holders to a thick rope and … here’s our key piece of advice … go with electronic or battery operated candles which should be easy to source from the local discount store. Surround your guests with a warm glow and even go with dressing the tree with fairy lights – again, source battery or solar powered so you don’t have extension leads everywhere!

After the wedding and honeymoon is over, it’s time to return to resume some semblence of normality with everyday life. After all those long nights of planning and stressing, days and evenings filled with lists, images, business cards and meetings, daily life can soon feel a little humdrum.

We can offer some advice in this regard … firstly, try never to let the honeymoon be really over. Go on regular date nights, continue to treat your partner to unexpected gifts and thank-yous, and continue to cherish each other every single day.

Secondly, do something special with your home decorating. Even if you’ve been cohabitating for a few years before the wedding, it’s still fabulous to come back from your honeymoon to new linens, fresh towels and a few extra bits and pieces dotted around what is now the marital home!

One great way to do this without breaking the bank, is to utilise homewares that you can use again at home for your wedding décor.

Ezibuy have a range of fabulous décor items that are suitable for just this purpose … and we’ve picked out some of our favourites that we think will be winners both on the wedding front and the home front!

Location Picking the perfect location, setting or venue is one of the most important parts of wedding planning. Once that’s locked in, you can plan all the finer details around it. We looked at the possibility of hosting this shoot at a beach or forest, until we realised that we would have to change our themes and colours slightly based on the location. Consider the surroundings and the lighting, we chose this location because it was stunning throughout each hour of the day!

Colours Shades of purple, ranging from deep to pastel ,and blended with soft pinks will add a feminine feel. Coupling that with crisp whites and creamy colours and touches of gold will contribute a perfect touch of contrast and highlight. The green adds a sense of vibrancy and should be present through the floral arrangements and natural surroundings so as to not overdo it. Adding touches of metallic throughout your special day will add a sophisticated and modern element.

Décor & Texture A traditional wooden table adds a charmingly rustic, relaxed countryside elegance and allows for an intimate gathering that isn’t overly formal. Set against it lightly washed lavender fabrics for a soft, romantic feel. For a hippy, casual feel that really welcomes your guests, go with an elaborately patterned rug at the base, then layer it with fur rugs, sequins and tasseled throws, a range of cushions inspired by Moroccan prints, thickly stitched accessories and metallic gold ottomans. Find inspiration from the heart of Morocco and bring it into the 21st century.

Florals Ask your florist for a blooming, elaborate arrangement that will speak for itself – leafy greens and succulents with pastel pink roses and lavender sprigs dotted throughout. Pay attention to detail and serve your guests a soft purple beverage in crystal glassware, with fresh lavender sprigs for a thoughtful touch.

Allow the floral arrangements to be unstructured and messy. You want an effortless, natural, organic-looking and free-flowing arrangement that will steal the show.

Invitations As relaxed as this wedding theme is, you really want to draw your guests in with that luxe element. We recommend gold foiled and laser cut invitations, a favourite amongst the most stylish and modern couples. Featured in this shoot was an elaborately detailed gated card with a personal monogram laser cut into the foldout, and held together by a sweet lotus flower sticker. For a less over-the-top invite, perhaps opt for a floral framed laser cut design that has a more bohemian feel.

Makeup You’ll be outdoors so keep it light and natural. For the base of your face, think dewy and luminous skin, kept glowing with highlight or strobing. Top it with a baby pink or peach blush paired with rose gold or copper colored eyeshadow. Keep the lips light and matte with a nude and neutral colour.

Hair Have your hair loose and free – think effortlessly natural hair-down waves or go with natural braids wrapped with real lavender sprigs and delicately adorned with handmade flower crowns or pearl and crystal embellished head wear that will really make a statement.

Wedding Dress The Nicole Spose gown with the lace backing, features a subtly embellished bodice with an illusion neckline, beaded floral embroidery, and delicate lace appliqués that cascade into a tulle skirt – it’s perfect for the bride who wants to really make a statement.

The Sottero and Midgley gown is a chic lace wedding dress, accented with spaghetti straps, demure illusion back and V-neckline. Finished with delicate pearl buttons this one is for the bride who wants something soft and light.

The long-sleeved Maggie Sottero gown classic sheath wedding dress features embellished illusion lace over jersey, a feminine sweetheart neckline and long sleeves with hand-placed lace appliques. Great for the bride who wants a boho meets elegant look.

With so much talk about ‘unplugged’ weddings and using wedding hashtags, it can get confusing for guests to know when it is appropriate to take photos on their phones or cameras at a wedding, so here it is …

DO – BEFORE the ceremony By all means, go ahead. It is entirely appropriate to take photos with other guests or of the venue and surrounds.

DON’T – DURING the ceremony In fact, from the time your butt is in that seat, on that hay bale or in mid-air (if you are standing) it is time to put that camera or phone away and let the professionals do their job.

DO – DURING cocktail hour Once the bride, groom and bridal party are off doing their photo shoot, you can whip out your camera and starting clicking away at all the fun antics going on.

DO & DON’T – DURING the reception There are some times when taking photos is absolutely fine, like when you have just sat down and you want to snap a pic of that cute favour box or entree, or when you witness your grandma on the dance floor with moves you seriously didn’t know she had.

There are also times you should keep that camera tucked away, such as during the formal parts of the evening – i.e. cake cutting, during the speeches etc.

FINAL NOTE:

You should probably check in with the happy couple BEFORE the wedding day to see what their thoughts are on pictures being posted to social media. Some couples don’t like any photos up whatsoever, some like to wait until they can put their own up and others are checking in on the way to the ceremony to see who has already uploaded and hashtagged everyone is different!

A talented team of industry experts and renowned stylists, with wedding dress designs by Maggie Sottero and Nicole Spose, have brought to life a beautifully styled shoot set amongst alluring lavender fields.

Influences & Inspiration As you’ll find with your wedding, you’ll start off with an idea but you will soon witness it beautifully morphing into something beyond your wildest expectations and often so different, in a good way, to how you originally wanted it to be.

We initially had our hearts set on darker and moodier look – think rich plums and velvet reds, set in an enchanting forest with that wild, untamed spirit of the boho couple. Our ideas were constantly changing but, at the heart of it all, we wanted to create something that wasn’t a copy of something that’s been done before. We took inspiration from images we had seen online and ran free with it, letting it take a life of its own.

It organically moved towards more earthy tones and we found ourselves then wanting to achieve a more feminine, fairy tale theme with the incorporation of our stylist’s own individual touch. She defines her personal style as boho and hippy – and soon realised it’s hard to separate yourself from it all – just as you will find it hard to not bring into your wedding day you and your partner’s own personality and lovable quirks. You want to make the experience personal and you want to have a connection with it. You have to make the day well and truly yours.

In the end, we unexpectedly but pleasantly ended up with a boho meets soft purple with that much-needed elegant touch brought in by the gold accents.
