Lets start at the beginning, the question has been popped and you are all excited and then the realisation dawns on you that you have a wedding to plan... with a bit of luck you will have at least 1 year to get it right but like my lovely friend whom has 6 months to plan so a venue is first on her list but my advice is to attend a few wedding fairs, they an be held at venues to showcase the venue with a selection of their own approved suppliers and others are held at large spaces with everything you need under one roof from stationary to wedding dresses. You can go to vintage, alternative or traditional event so just do a loittle research and go to the event you will get most out of.   On Sunday 16th February we will be heading to Harrogate to attend a Vintage Wedding Fair which is ran by Keeley Harris at Discover Vintage and is an award winning and one of the longest standing Vintage Wedding Fair's and in my eyes THE fair to attend,  find out more details here.ww.vintageweddingfair.co.uk.,  they also hold an event at Chiswick Town Hall so there is no

You will find cake makers, innovative and crafty wedding stationary, vintage music ideas, wedding favours, venue ideas and of course there will be rails of Original Vintage and Vintage inspired wedding dresses and  not forgetting the bridesmaids and of course the groom and groomsmen can be togged up in the finest vintage attire.  Lots of ideas and advice all in one special day, make it a day of inspiration...take along your favourite ladies for a weekend as we will be doing and incorporate a stay in a spa, with some fab groupon and living social deals it is a girls weekend not to be missed...get a real feel for what you want to do with your day by relaxing and talking ideas through with your friends before you move on with your plans.

 Go home and start up a Pinterest board allowing access for your groom and anybody else you have helping you plan your day so that they can pin ideas for you or do it the old fashioned way and  get yourself a wedding scrap book so that all your ideas are in one place and you can take along to meetings with wedding planers, parents and your groom can flick through at his leisure  ...then you can start thinking about your wedding date... do you want a summer wedding or a winter wedding with a backdrop of roaring fires or will you go for a bit of a spring fling with fresh blooms galore and there is always the changing colours of Autumn... once this is decided you can move onto your wedding venue choices.... Until next time Sista Society x
