Keep Calm and Get Married: 5 Ways to Make Your Day Easy Breezy
Get Yourself a Dream Team
A Good Team Will Make It Feel Effortless
Your wedding day isn’t the time to be managing people, chasing down emails, or wondering if the flowers will actually show up. That’s why having a solid team of suppliers is absolutely key. You want pros who know exactly what they’re doing, show up with a smile, and crack on without needing their hands held. It’s the difference between feeling frazzled and floating through the day like a total legend.
The best suppliers don’t just deliver a service – they bring calm energy, solutions on the fly, and good vibes all round. From your florist to your photographer (yes hello, that’s us), everyone should be working together behind the scenes to make the day feel smooth and effortless for you. When each person does their thing brilliantly, magic happens – and you won’t even notice half the fires they’ve put out along the way.
Don’t be afraid to shop around until you find people who just get you. The right crew will make you feel heard, relaxed, and totally confident. It’s not about ticking boxes – it’s about finding those suppliers who feel like an extension of your mate group, just with better gear and timelines. You’ll thank yourself a hundred times over when the day runs like clockwork without you lifting a finger.
A great team won’t just make your life easier – they’ll make your memories better. You’ll look back at the photos, the film, the little moments in between, and feel the love and care that went into every part of the day. So invest in people who care as much as you do. Get the dream team in your corner, and the rest will take care of itself.
Do It Your Way (No Apologies)
Do It for the Feels, Not the Formalities
This is your day – not your mum’s, not your mate’s, and definitely not some dusty wedding rulebook’s. If the thought of a three-course sit-down dinner makes you yawn, swap it for street food, picnic blankets, or your favourite pizza van. If walking down the aisle to a tear-jerking ballad feels too much, blast your top indie tune instead. There’s no ‘right’ way to get married – just the way that feels most you.
Weddings have come a long way since chair covers and sugared almonds were all the rage. These days, couples are ditching the cookie-cutter approach and embracing what makes them unique. Whether that’s a sparkler tunnel instead of a bouquet toss or a ceremony in the woods with your dog as ring bearer, it’s all fair game. Your guests are there to celebrate you, not a checklist of traditions.
That said, if there’s something traditional you genuinely love – keep it! The trick is choosing things because they bring you joy, not because you think you’re ‘supposed to’. You don’t need to explain your choices to anyone. Whether you’re having a glitter bar, a late-night cheese board, or no first dance at all, the only thing that matters is that it feels authentic to you.
When you lean into what lights you up, your wedding won’t just be beautiful – it’ll be memorable. The whole day will have your stamp on it, and your guests will feel that energy from start to finish. So go ahead, break a few ‘rules’, wear something bold, and plan a day that feels like the ultimate version of the two of you. That’s what it’s all about.
Plan Like a Boss – Then Let Go
Plan It, Trust It, Enjoy It
A bit of planning goes a long way. Sit down, grab a brew, and map out your timeline from “I woke up” to “I’m barefoot on the dancefloor”. Think about the details, chat through the what-ifs, and work out what needs to happen, when, and who’s doing it. Getting it all down on paper (or Notion, if you’re fancy) clears your head and keeps surprises to a minimum.
Once the plan’s in place, the real magic happens: you let it go. You’ve done the work, so now it’s time to trust your team and the timeline. Things might run five minutes late, or your uncle might bring a plus-one he forgot to mention – but that’s part of the charm. What matters is how you feel, not whether the canapés came out exactly at 3.17pm.
Weddings are real life, not a film set – and real life is full of little blips and beautiful surprises. So instead of stressing over every detail, be present. Laugh when something goes slightly sideways. Hug your gran. Say yes to the impromptu shots at the bar. The moments that stick with you won’t be the ones you planned – they’ll be the ones that just happened.
By planning smart and then letting go, you give yourself permission to enjoy the day. You’ll float through it, not fuss through it. And when you look back, it won’t be about the timeline – it’ll be about the love, the joy, and that one guest who somehow ended up in the fountain.
Delegate Like a Pro
Be the Star, Not the Planner
Your job on the wedding day? To enjoy it. Full stop. You’re not there to set up chairs, hand out favours, or find a lighter for 80 tealights. That’s where delegation comes in. The days leading up to the wedding are the perfect time to dish out the final little tasks so you can focus on getting pampered, sipping bubbles, and grinning like a loon.
Think of your bridal party, close mates, or that ultra-organised cousin who brings a clipboard to family BBQs – they’re your dream crew. Give them clear, simple jobs and trust them to crack on. People want to help, especially if it means making your day smoother. And let’s be honest, you deserve to be fully in the moment, not chasing down the confetti.
Delegating isn’t just about offloading tasks – it’s about protecting your headspace. When you know everything’s covered, you relax. You’ll be present, glowing, and totally unbothered by anything happening behind the scenes. Whether it’s fetching your bouquet or wrangling a rogue usher, your crew has got your back.
So before the big day, make a list, assign roles, and then let go. Your wedding isn’t a solo project – it’s a team effort. And with the right people in your corner, you’ll be floating through it like the absolute star you are.
Take a Breather, Actually Enjoy It
Take a Minute – You’ll Thank Yourself Later
With all the excitement, hugs, confetti and cake, the day can zip by in a blur. You’ll blink and suddenly it’s time for the last dance. That’s why it’s so important to carve out a few quiet minutes just for the two of you. Step away from the crowd, take a deep breath, and look at what you’ve created together – it’s a proper moment.
These little pauses are gold. It might be five minutes after the ceremony, a quick wander while guests are being seated, or a sneaky moment before the dancefloor madness kicks off. Whatever it looks like, that breather gives you space to soak it all in and go, “Wow. We did this.” It’s the calm in the middle of the very best storm.
You’ve spent months (maybe years) planning every detail – now give yourselves the gift of being present for it. Not just smiling for photos or ticking off the timeline, but really feeling the joy of the day. Your mates are having a blast, the music’s playing, the love is flowing – take a second to feel it all.
The memories you’ll treasure most won’t just be the big moments – they’ll be those tiny pauses where it was just the two of you, wrapped up in your own little bubble. So take that breather, steal that kiss, and let yourselves really be in the day. You’ve earned it.
I’ve seen 300+ couples laugh, cry, panic about the weather, and still have the best day ever. You bring the love – I’ll bring the camera (and the calm). Let’s make some magic, yeah? 😉
I’m all about photos that feel like the day itself – full of joy, connection, and a good bit of mischief. My style is a mix of vibrant storytelling and cinematic flair, with rich colours, bold lighting, and a focus on real, emotional moments. Whether it’s a belly laugh mid-speech, a quiet hand squeeze, or that look you give each other when no one else is watching – I’ll be there, camera in hand, cracking terrible jokes and capturing the magic as it unfolds.
Think bold, romantic, fun-as-heck photos that actually feel like you.
