Starting Point Discussing the feel and flow of the day you would like is a great starting point, “For us, it was important that our guests enjoyed themselves - we planned our ceremony and reception close together so that there wasn't a long wait in between, and added touches like a cheese platter, port and cocktails. We imagined a wedding that we would really like to attend and planned around that!” The Guest List Creating the guest list was the biggest challenge, with the juggle between inviting everyone you’d like and keeping numbers manageable, “We ended up with a much bigger list than we anticipated, but on the day it was worth it. We most enjoyed seeing it all come together, and seeing our friends and family enjoying what we had worked so hard to achieve.”
