Wedding Planning Checklist

Even the most organised among us need checklists! Here is a great guide to help you get started - 12 months and counting!

Have a discussion to see what you both would/would not like.
Start a guest list and revisit it often.
Do a budget.
Decide who is paying for what – and will you accept help from family.
It may not be a bad idea to take out wedding insurance - just in case!
Decide what season you would like and set the date.
Book ceremony venue.
Visit and book your reception venue.
Decide who you would like to be your bridesmaids and groomsmen and ask them if they are happy to do it.
Decide what kind of entertainment you want, for the ceremony and the venue.

Research and consider options for your venue and ceremony decor.
Research and book photographer, videographer, band, and wedding planner if desired. Check with your Wedding Venue, they will often recommend suppliers.
Have a look online to see what wedding gowns are popular and create a Pinterest Board for the ones you like.
Book an appointment with a few different bridal shops.
Why not send a 'Save the Date' card just to give friends and family advance notice.
Are you planning on doing anything yourself, make a list of DIY projects that need doing and ask your bridal party to help.
Start a wedding website or planning diary to make sure nothing is missed!

Happy Planning!

Autumn Weddings at Powerscourt Estate

Powerscourt House & Gardens

Wedding Venue
Don't hesitate to ask your preferred wedding venue to see pictures of the grounds in Autumn. Powerscourt House in Enniskerry is a stunning venue for an Autumn wedding. The beech trees along the avenue change to magnificent autumnal colours of fiery reds and oranges to bright vivid yellows.

The Gardens at Powerscourt are truly a kaleidoscope of colour in the Autumn, in particular the Japanese Garden, which is ideal for wedding photography.

The Autumn colour palette is filled with warm colours of orange, yellow, deep purples and vivid gold. With beautiful frost kissed mornings and the slow rising mists there couldn't be a more romantic time to get married at Powerscourt House.

I came across some wonderful ideas for Autumn weddings, too many actually, so I have shortlisted them to some of my favourites. I hope you like them!
