Yeah everywhere is just crazy prices at the minute! No way can I justify paying that and expecting people coming to pay it either! I’m only having a small one anyway, just myself, my mum, probably MIL (if she will come), SIL to be and my best mate.Beginning to think this is a more sensible decision!

We didn’t use a wedding planner but planned it all remotely, so I did everything via email/phone. I gave my suppliers “ideas” ie I want white flowers, I want the table stuff to match my flowers, but no details.Anyone on here working with a wedding planner? If so, how are you finding it?
I postponed from last year due to covid, so at the time I was so grateful and relieved that they were taking care of absolutely everything, so no complaints there. Now I’m less than 6 months out, I feel like the process has been so hands off it’s starting to unnerve me a bit..?
I always said I couldn’t care less about the minutiae of wedding planning like chair covers and stuff, but I’m scared of feeling like I’ll just turn up on the day and my wedding will just happen to me. Does that make sense? Obviously we’ve chosen outfits, guests, rings, music and location (from a shortlist), which feel like the most important things. You just read about other weddings and it seems like every flower/colour/ribbon/piece of stationery has a direct important meaning to the B&G, and we don’t really have that (but also wouldn’t want to spend time worrying about these things ). I can’t work out if this matters or not..
I also feel like the planners present one image of themselves on their socials and in reality I feel a bit forgotten about and not prioritised. For example they are so flaky and have rescheduled meetings with us on so many occasions. I understand that illness/emergencies can crop up, but, almost every time? I know they are juggling lots of couples but everyone wants to feel special when planning their big day, right?
Sorry don’t feel like i could discuss this with guests and just wanted to get it off my chest Would love to hear any thoughts.
This made me feel so much better, thank you I think you’re definitely right! There’s less potential for disappointment on the day for sure. I also spoke things through with my other half last night and we have a plan of action for going forward and speaking up moredifferent but similar situation, but everything turned out amazingly. I think because I didn’t have any definite “I must have this exactly like that” I knew they’d do a better job of things than me anyway
on the day, it was all perfect, everything came together far better than I could ever have done myself!
Playlist for the reception?I’m walking down the aisle to what was my nans favourite song. My partner has said he’d like his nans favourite song to be included somewhere important. Great! Except it’s Bohemian Rhapsody.
Don’t get me wrong it’s a 10/10 song but it’s not very romantic Any ideas?
That’s what I said but he said he wants it to have importance Going to try and find a nice instrumental version lolPlaylist for the reception?
ooh good shout, we had a couple of covers by Vitamin String Quarter for when we signed the register - i totally didn’t even notice music playing, but apparently it did!That’s what I said but he said he wants it to have importance Going to try and find a nice instrumental version lol
We went with the Hellcat Til Death ringsNice! What did you get?
Sorry to hear that! I haven't even looked into cake toppers yet. I didn't realise they were so pricey!What are people having we cake toppers? I ordered a personalised clay one last June for our July wedding this year and have not heard from the lady since and have just seen posts that she’s a scammer so I’m £125 down and looking for alternatives!
I know I’ve just ordered another type by someone else on Etsy hopefully that one will be okayWe went with the Hellcat Til Death rings

£125 for a cake topper seems quite extreme, where did you find that? If you are looking for an acrylic cake topper I would have thought no more than £15. Not sure about wooden, but wouldn’t have expected anywhere near that amount.What are people having we cake toppers?
