Plan, plan, plan! We tried to be as organised as possible, and get as much done as early as we could, to ensure the lead up to the wedding was as stress free as possible. We also kept in frequent contact with the Potters staff and our vendors and made sure all our queries were answered prior to the day and everyone was on the same page.

Also, when the wedding day arrives don’t get so hung up on the details or your ideals and forget that the day is actually about being together with the people who are most important to you. Things can go wrong despite your best efforts, but you have each other and that is the most important thing. Don’t let a mis-print or a hold-up or any other small mishap take that away from you.

Finally, we received this piece of advice prior to our wedding day: take 5 minutes with your partner to enjoy each other’s company away from the whirlwind of your day, and just observe from afar your friends and family enjoying themselves. We did this during the reception and it was really special to see how happy everyone was to be together celebrating our love.
