3. Create a list of wedding priorities

Follow Miss Jones’ comprehensive wedding guide:

It is a very important step in the first stages of wedding planning that you create a list of wedding priorities …

Budget

Decide a budget and stick to it! Our biggest piece of advice for how to plan a wedding is to decide a budget and decide quickly. Whether you are planning a small and intimate wedding or a large and extravagant one you need to decide on your budget early on. That way you always know what is achievable. We will always suggest choosing the elements that are most important to you and your special day. A 'good' budget will align with what you want from your wedding and your personal financial situation. There is never a one-size-fits-all answer to budgets.

Tip

We always recommend leaving a little flexibility in your budget, as expected costs often pop up during the planning process. Miss Jones thinks it is a good idea to set aside around 10% more than your initial budget to cover any surprises that might come your way.

Date

Deciding the date of your wedding is important. Do you want a summer wedding, a winter wedding? are your dates popular wedding dates, and how do these dates correspond with your budget? Our wedding planning tip is to choose 3-4 possible wedding dates, as flexibility is going to be your best friend here. This way, you are not constrained when it comes to finding venues and suppliers, battling excess costs and overbookings.

Theme

You want to choose a wedding theme that reflects your personal style, personality and journey, as this will be the way in which you express the story of your relationship. Whether you envision a traditional and classic theme or you are wanting to bring something more unique or distinctive, Miss Jones’ wedding planning tip is to have an established aesthetic. This way you will have a cohesive idea of what you want throughout the planning process.

Guest List

Knowing who you want at your wedding and the size of your wedding party is an extremely important decision to make in the first stages of wedding planning. Our wedding guide recommends doing this early on, as it is important for budget management, venue sourcing, all your planning logistics and ultimately it is who you are going to be sharing your special day with.

Create a Mood Board

A wedding mood board is going to be a very helpful tool when planning your wedding, as it serves as a visual representation of all your ideas. Throughout your wedding planning process, you can refer back to your moodboard and make sure that you are bringing all these ideas to life.

4. Establish a trusted support network

Miss Jones’ advice for creating your wedding support team:

Having a trusted support network is a super important step in the wedding planning process. Planning this big event will be stressul and at time overwhelming, therefore having a good team of people around you will help alleviate most of this. Having people that you can rely on and trust will make the journey far more enjoyable. Hopefully, making the whole process run more smoothly.

Involve your partner

Your wedding day will be one of the most significant moments in your relationship, and naturally, you will want it to reflect both of your personalities, values and the journey you have shared together. Involving your partner in the planning ensures that the day feels like a true celebration of you both. Also, sharing the tasks can turn the planning process into a team effort. This not only reduces stress but also makes the whole experience more enjoyable and memorable.

Emotional Support

Wedding planning will be an emotional journey - you will experience happiness, excitement but also worry, frustration and sometimes anxiety. Having a trusted support network means that you will have people around you that can offer you comfort.

Sharing the Joy

Your wedding day will hopefully be one of the happiest days of your life. Sharing the planning process with the people around you will allow you to create unforgettable memories together.

Step Two: Finding The Perfect Venue

Miss Jones approved Venues

How to find the perfect venue with Miss Jones:

Choosing your wedding venue is one of the most important decisions you will make. It sets the tone for your entire day, shaping the theme and aesthetic of your celebration. The venue will also play a central role in your guests’ experience, so it is essential that it is comfortable and engaging. Above all, this is the place where you and your partner will create lasting memories, so it should be a space that you both truly love and feel connected to. Choosing the right venue for you and your wedding can feel like a daunting task. Ultimately the decisions you make at the beginning, such as budget, guest list, theme and the date will all play into the venue you decide. Once you have established these points, you will be able to choose a venue that accommodates all your needs.

We recommend booking your venue well in advance to ensure you secure your desired location and avoid missing out on popular, high-demand venues. Weddings, especially during peak season, can cause venues to book up quickly. securing your venue early not only gives you a solid foundation for planning your suppliers and guest logistics, but it also helps reduce stress by getting one of the most important decisions out of the way sooner rather than later.

Step 3: Finding the perfect suppliers

Miss Jones approved Suppliers

How to find the perfect suppliers with Miss Jones:

Choosing suppliers is a critical part of wedding planning because it will directly impact the successfulness of your day. The right suppliers – such as caterers, florists, photographers, and entertainers – ensure that the vision you want is brought to life. Choosing the right suppliers should lessen the direct stress to you, as they provide their expertise and help with the logistics of the day. A good supplier will work within your budget and timeline, offer reliable advice and support and contribute to a smooth and succesful wedding day.

Here at Miss Jones we recommend that you review every contract carefully. This is crucial in order to avoid surprises and make sure that both parties are on the same page. Wedding contracts should outline specifics of the services being provided, payment terms, cancellation policies and any additional fees. Read the fine print to protect yourself from any unexpected costs.

Step 4: The Finishing Touches

Finalise the finishing touches

How to finalise the finishing touches with Miss Jones:

The final stages of wedding planning are all about tying up loose ends, confirming details and ensuring everything is in place for the big day. Here are the key things Miss Jones suggests doing in the final stages of the wedding planning process

Confirm details with suppliers

We recommend confirming all the details of your wedding day with suppliers a few weeks before the wedding. Check the final details with your venue, such as timeline and layout. Finalise the menu’s, guest count and any dietary restrictions with your caterers. Go over your playlist, include any special songs you want playing and the timeline of any entertainment you have organised. Schedule final trial runs and timings with hair and makeup.

Create a timeline

Creating a timeline is a necessary step in the final stages of wedding planning. It is important to detail when the wedding party needs to be ready, when vendors should arrive and when specific events - such as the ceremony, speeches and the first dance - will take place.

Finalise your guest list and seating chart

We suggest confirming the final number of guests attending and making any last minute changes to the seating chart, just before the big day.

Write your vows and speeches

If you decide to write your own vows or you are preparing a speech, now is the time to finalise them. Practice reading them aloud a few times to make sure you feel confident and at ease. Remember, this is your moment, have fun with it and do not let any nerves about public speaking take away from the joy of sharing what you want to say.

Enjoy the special day

As you approach the final stages of your wedding planning, it is natural for the stress to start. The details and last-minute touches can feel overwhelming, but it is crucial to take a step back and soak in the excitement of the final weeks before your big day. Remember, your wedding day will be perfect because it is uniquely yours. Do not let the finishing touches distract you from the joy and celebration of this special time.
