First things first, congratulations on your engagement! Whether you are just starting your wedding planning journey or you’re already knee-deep in decisions about dresses, décor and desserts, Kelly Anne Weddings is here to help ensure your big day runs as smoothly (and fabulously!) as possible.

As West Midlands Wedding Planner of the Year 2024 and a Multi-Award-Winning Business Owner, Kelly Anne has seen hundreds of weddings unfold. She knows it is often the little touches and smart timing choices that make the biggest difference.

Here are Kelly Anne's top five wedding tips that every bride should know to feel calm, confident and ready to enjoy every magical moment.

TIP ONE - Give Your Dream Suppliers A Head Start


Your favourite Photographer, Florist or Hair & Makeup Artist can book up over a year in advance. If you’ve fallen in love with someone’s work, don’t hesitate to secure them early so you’re not settling for second best.

TIP TWO - Keep The Morning Calm


Your wedding morning sets the tone for the rest of the day. Have a good breakfast, keep your getting-ready space tidy and surround yourself with people who make you feel calm and happy. Consider a wedding morning playlist to add to the atmosphere (and maybe calm any last-minute nerves).

TIP THREE - Add Buffer Time For… EVERYTHING! 


On the big day, small things tend to take longer than expected (hello, lace-up dress). Pad each part of your timeline by at least five minutes to stay calm and avoid rushing through those special moments you’ll want to savour.

TIP FOUR - Delegate, Delegate, Delegate


You shouldn’t be the go-to person for every little question on the day. Assign a trusted friend, family member or even better, your wedding planner (Kelly Anne Weddings!) to handle the logistics and liaise with suppliers. This allows you to focus on marrying the love of your life and not on where the cake knife is.

TIP FIVE - Factor in ‘Just Us’ Time


Since the day will fly by in the blink of an eye, Kelly Anne always recommends planning a few minutes alone together as a married couple. This special time offers the chance to breathe, laugh and say “we did it!” before diving back into the celebrations.

Weddings are a whirlwind of excitement and Kelly Anne's job is to ensure couples can be fully present for every special moment. For those seeking personalised tips and a tailored wedding day plan, Kelly Anne Weddings is ready to help create a stress-free, smooth-running and unforgettable day. After all, your dream day deserves nothing less than perfection.

BONUS BRIDAL TIP -

Packing a pair of comfy shoes for the evening is essential. After all, tired feet and sore dance moves don't make for a 10/10 party!
