Hello! 

Charlotte here! 

So you are planning your wedding- awesome! Planning a wedding is awesome, but also time consuming and if you are coming to it fresh below I have put a list of the suppliers you might want to bring in to make it the very best! The big note here is that you don’t have to hire/bring in any of these suppliers if you don’t want to, you can DIY so many of these yourself. I’ve categorised them by the services and suppliers you are most likely to bring or need in for your wedding.

You will probably want to consider:

  • Your wedding attire

  • Wedding rings

  • Photographer

  • Caterer

  • Bar/drinks

  • Furniture (if doesn’t come with the venue)

  • Crockery, linens, cutlery (if doesn’t come with the venue or one of the other companies you have booked)

  • Somewhere to sleep the night before and night of your wedding

Nice to have if the budget allows:

  • Wedding Planner or Day of Coordinator 

  • Videographer

  • Some clothing for your wedding party

  • Florist

  • Cake

  • Decor

  • Music: Band or DJ

  • Entertainment during the ceremony or reception

  • Photo booth

  • Lighting

  • Hair and/or Makeup Artist

  • Transport

  • Stationery

  • Veil

Who you might not have considered:

  • Specialist food trucks for evening food

  • Extra activities such as lawn games, clay pigeon shooting, bouncy castles

  • Preserving your wedding bouquet

  • Extra desserts

  • Ice cream/ popcorn/ hot chocolate stands

  • Celebrant

  • Transport for you and/or your guests

  • Hair accessories

Yes, I haven’t put myself in as a planner/coordinator in the ‘want to consider’ pile. We aren’t an essential service, however we can be helpful to have, for me, a Day of Coordinator is something to really consider especially if you are DIY-ing your wedding or you have a dry hire venue.

Do you have any further tips? What did you do for your own wedding?
