How Early Is Too Early To Plan A Wedding In London?

Whatever your circumstances may be… consider this blog your personal guide to deciding how early you want to start planning your wedding in London. First things first, it’s all about finding the right balance. For example, you don’t want to wait too long to plan your wedding and risk losing momentum. Equally you want to give yourselves enough time to revel in your engagement; therefore I’d recommend waiting between four to eight weeks (no more than 12) before jumping into planning a wedding. Once you’re ready to start planning, take it step by step. Remember small steps make giant leaps. It’s not a good idea to try to plan your entire wedding all at once.  

How Quickly Can You Plan A Wedding In London?

Timing is everything! And when you think about the amount of hours that it takes to plan a wedding, this statement certainly couldn’t be more-true for an independent busy bride.  

Whilst we professional wedding planners in London can plan a wedding in almost no time at all. The whole process generally takes a year to two. Don’t fret, a two-year-long engagement may sound like forever, but planning a wedding is a tall task for the modern independent bride. I understand that you maybe: at the peak of your career, have a large family with lots of opinions floating around, run your own business, have gruelling family schedules, or in some cases all four. I understand your pain. Managing your diary is no simple task. So allow yourself anywhere between three months to three years to plan your wedding and you’ll be bang-on the money.  

Planning A Wedding Over Two Years: Top Tips

Decide what your initial wedding outlay is going to be, define your purpose and express an interest with the wedding suppliers you feel may be critical in realising your vision. Many in-demand wedding suppliers and venues are booked a year or more in advance; so getting your ‘dream team’ together on your desired date may present a few challenges. Nothing you can’t handle, just approach this task with an open mind and a degree of flexibility. You’ve got this girl!  

What Are The Benefits Of A Long Engagement?

Deciding to have a long engagement can be a luxury for you. Just think, a longer engagement will allow you to block-out sufficient time from your gruelling schedule so that you can unwind and get on with your wedding planning and diligently select your wedding day dream team.

Planning your own wedding is a project that will demand 100% of your time, so it’s really important to allocate the appropriate level of resource to ensure a return on your investment. If you don’t have the time, simply outsource your wedding planning to a professional wedding planner or purchase consultancy hours. Simple.

As you begin your search for a luxury wedding planner, you may notice that many luxury planners will offer a complimentary wedding consultation before recommending any of their wedding planning services. So, what does a wedding consultation in London entail?

How Do I Prepare for a Virtual Wedding Consultation With My London Wedding Planner? 

Thanks to technology, wedding planners are offering virtual wedding consultations in order to make sure you can plan your wedding while staying safe at home. 

Rest assure, wedding planning consultations can be done just as effectively online! Virtual wedding consultations, lets you hold a detailed discussion with your luxury planner. You can even share visuals without the need to meet in person. 

I understand first hand that, getting married in London is an incredibly exciting and happy time. It’s not unusual for you to feel that you must have all of your closest and dearest with you every step of the way. However, your first wedding consultation is usually an intimate meeting (with a confidential approach) shared with you, the professional wedding planner and your wife or husband to be. 

During your wedding consultation, you’ll be skimming over sensitive information, for example: your wedding budget, how much you are willing to spend and if there will be any financial contributions from family, and friends.

I’d recommended you and your fiancé/fiancée set aside an hour for your wedding consultation. I suggest you find either a comfy space at home, or an uninterrupted space with a strong internet connection. Avoid using a mobile phone, instead use a larger screened device, which will enhance your screen sharing experience. Last but not least, you’re welcome to bring a glass of wine, or something special to toast the occasion.

What If I Want To Meet Face-to-Face?

We have access to a wide selection of luxury hotels all over London, and pride ourselves on tailored experiences. Our luxury wedding planning consultations are deigned to make your wedding planning journey stress-free. Therefore we give our couples the choice to meet up at one of our offices in London, or for a more tailored experience we can meet at a luxury wedding venue in London, which reflects the style of wedding our clients want.

I’m Not Sure What Type of Wedding I Want, Can I Still Have A Wedding Consultation?

Wedding consultations are a vital part of the wedding planning process. This early phase is all about the creative vibe you want on your wedding day. What’s the overall theme? What sort of atmosphere do you want? What aesthetic are you looking for? Moreover, how will your personal style translate into decisions about your wedding? 

Don’t worry if you’re not sure about the type of wedding you want at this stage. Luxury wedding planners are experienced in lighting an imaginative spark with clients. Moreover they’ll use the consultation to get to know you and vice versa.

Today, as an award-winning East London planner, I’ll be sharing my top tips to make planning your wedding so much easier. Make sure you follow along to catch them all! Let me introduce myself before we jump straight in with: Do I need a wedding planner? 

I’m Marsha, Founder of Mollienau Weddings and Events, an award-winning wedding planning boutique in East London. I concentrate on supporting my newlyweds to recoup some of their time so that they can focus on all the fun that planning a wedding brings. To help you navigate the world of planning, I will be sharing how all you need to know about wedding planning services.

So grab a cuppa and your favourite pack of bickies, sit back and relax as I take you by the hand and guide you through the world of wedding planning.

What is included in a wedding planner package?

Ofetn, as an East London wedding planner, I’m asked what full wedding planning services include:

1. Full wedding planning is all about the logistics: getting everything and everybody in the right place at the right time.
2. With a full wedding planning service, your professional wedding planner takes care of all the arrangements for you, from finding suppliers to finalising contracts. They get involved at the early planning stages and manage everything right through to the big day.
3. And most importantly, your wedding planner takes the guesswork out of the planning process.

Instead of planning and researching everything yourself, you leave it to an expert, saving you time. At Mollineau weddings and Events, we use our skills and expertise combined with our network of award-winning wedding suppliers to ensure you have the wedding day you’ve been hoping for all along. Above all, full wedding planning isn’t a budget option. But remember, while good planners aren’t cheap, they often pay for themselves with the savings they find elsewhere. 

This early phase is all about the creative vibe you want on your wedding day. What’s the overall theme? What sort of atmosphere do you want? What aesthetic are you looking for? Moreover, how will your style translate into decisions about your wedding? 

Based on your discussion, your professional wedding planner will suggest ideas in areas from floor plans and lighting design. In addition to flowers, furniture, linens and attire. You can find out more about our complete wedding planning phases here.

Do I Need A Wedding Planner And Venue Stylist?

At the event styling stage, your wedding planner will start working on creative specifics based on the aims you discussed during your consultation. In other words, this phase is all about hands-on wedding design and event styling in London. Working with a wedding designer, your wedding planner will help you turn those Pinterest dreams into a vibrant reality!

Are you scared of losing control? Don’t be. Your wedding planner will share everything with you at every stage, so you’re always happy with the way the event is shaping up.

Wedding Day Management?

If you choose to work solely with a ‘month-of coordinator, they will only get involved from this point on. Regardless of whether you’re using a full wedding planning service in London or surrounding areas, they will have taken part in every conversation along the way, so they’re already up to speed as you enter the final straight.
