WE'RE BACK - What we've learned and how to plan your 2023 wedding

SO MANY THINGS have changed since we've last graced the air with our internal thoughts and advice

Mainly, we have added a new member, Monsieur Maxime! Kelly welcomed her son and she talks about how being a wedding planner and tackling motherhood. We also bring our team member Shannon, Kellys sister and now Auntie to Mighty Max, on how she had to take on more responsibilities this year and has become a permanent member of the Say planning, decor and admin team.

We go on and share some stories and insight from 2022, but we are here to prepare you for 2023.

PLANNING YOUR 2023 TIPS

Your vendors are booking up incredibly fast.
Your vendors are really tired, so it’s taking longer to get back to you
The pressure with families is higher then ever to impress all guests at the wedding.
You’re guest count will not drop, do not assume there will be a 10% drop, everyone wants to get out and party
People have forgotten how to behave in public.
You staff costs are going up without a doubt.

TRENDS FOR 2023

Cocktail style wedding and why you need to assign seating even if it's casual.
Wedding colours are a mix of 5-8 and not just two or 3.
Small to having no wedding party is becoming more popular.

HOW PLANNING CAN BE A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR YOU

Hire a wedding planner, duh!
Expect you won’t get your first round of picks, have 2-3 you like.
Book quickly if you are truly set on a venue or vendor
Select and secure your venue first before selecting other vendors
Look for the vendor relationships and take their suggestions
