These tips are just in from Lyndsey & Jeegar who got married at Audley's Wood Hotel in Basingstoke. The day was a real cosmopolitan affair with guests from not only all around Europe but a very large contingent from America and India.
Hi Courtenay
Our favourite picture is this one where you can see us walking up to the marquee for dinner.
What I love about this is that we're having a private moment but you can see people in the background enjoying themselves, and it's all framed by the wonderful elegant house.
My top three tips are:
1) remember that your friends are there to celebrate with you; not to judge you - they won't notice or care if the bridesmaids flowers don't exactly match the shade of the dress; so keep things in perspective and don't obsess in advance about things you won't even care about on the day!
2) on a similar theme, despite what the wedding magazines might make you believe, this is not a competition to see how much money you can spend! So only invest in things that are really important to you. We saved by not having transport or favours, but also by making our own orders of service - and actually people liked them because they were more personal.
3) On the day, don't let anyone ask you or your partner any questions about organisation or logisitics - throw your mobile phone away and send everyone in the direction of your best man or chief bridesmaid. It's the most special and amazing day of your life - don't waste a second trying to find anyone's button hole!
Oh, and I would also recommend making sure that you have done up your dress properly after going to the loo. Both my sister and I failed to do this at our weddings....must be a family trait!
Hope you're doing well
Best wishes
