Your Wedding Brief ✨
Your wedding. Your priorities. Your budget. Your starting point.
Before you book another supplier, open another tab or fall down another Pinterest rabbit hole this weekend, let's get a few things straight.
Planning a wedding can quickly become a full-time job. There are hundreds of suppliers, thousands of ideas and approximately 47 different opinions about what your wedding should look like.
But here's the thing: your wedding doesn't need everything. It needs the right things for YOU.
Take 10 minutes to work through this. It'll make every decision that follows easier.
START WITH A FEELING, NOT A LIST OF SUPPLIERS. 🤩
Don't start with: “We need a venue, a photographer, a florist…”
That's a very quick way to lose an entire weekend scrolling through options.
Instead, think about how you want your wedding to look, feel and be remembered.
Close your eyes and picture the day.
What's the atmosphere? Relaxed and intimate, or big, bold and full of energy?
Is it elegant and understated, colourful and creative, or completely unconventional?
What do you want your guests to experience?
What do you want people talking about on the way home?
What three words would you use to describe your dream wedding?
Our tip: Start with the feeling. The suppliers should bring that vision to life.
Our wedding in three words:
PICK YOUR TOP THREE PRIORITIES. 🎉
You can't make everything the biggest priority. And you don't need to.
Decide what matters most to you as a couple. These are the things you'll want to spend your time, energy and budget getting right.
Maybe it's:
An incredible venue and atmosphere
Amazing food and drink
Entertainment that gets everyone on the dancefloor
Beautiful photography and memories
Flowers, styling and all the little details
An incredible guest experience
Keeping things intimate and personal
Something completely different and unique
Choose your top three.
These are your priorities. When decisions get difficult, come back to them.
KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT. 😌
This one is just as important.
Wedding planning comes with an endless stream of inspiration, opinions and suggestions. Pinterest will happily convince you that you need things you hadn't even considered five minutes ago.
You don't.
Create two lists:
OUR NON-NEGOTIABLES
The things that absolutely have to be part of your day.
NOT FOR US.
The things you know you don't want - even if everyone else seems to be doing them.
Your wedding doesn't need to tick every box. It needs to feel like yours.
GIVE YOUR DECISIONS A DEADLINE. ⌛
Here's a trap that's very easy to fall into.
You find a supplier. You love their work. They're within budget. They understand your brief. You book them.
Then you keep scrolling.
Suddenly, you're comparing them with another ten suppliers, questioning your decision and wondering whether someone better is out there.
Sound familiar?
You booked them for a reason. Trust your decision.
Once you've found the right fit:
Set a deadline for making the decision.
Do your research, ask your questions and make your choice.
Once you've booked, stop searching for alternatives.
Unfollow the accounts that keep tempting you to second-guess yourself.
And yes, this can happen right up until the wedding - and even after it! There will always be another idea, another supplier or another version of what your day could have been.
You don't need to keep looking for 'better'. You need to enjoy what you've chosen.
YOUR WEDDING BRIEF IS YOUR STARTING POINT. 🥳
Most couples start with a list of suppliers. That's how the rabbit hole begins: hundreds of options, endless comparisons and no idea who's actually right for them.
Create the brief first. Then find the people who bring it to life.
THAT'S WHERE THE WED COLLECTIVE COMES IN.
You've got the vision. We'll help find your people.
We use your wedding brief - date, location, budget, style and priorities - to match you with relevant, in-budget suppliers who are curated, vetted and verified.
No endless directories. No spreadsheets. Just personalised matches and your whole
wedding booking journey managed in one place.
YOU BRING THE BRIEF. WE'LL FIND YOUR PEOPLE.
Less scrolling. Fewer spreadsheets. Better matches.
Your wedding. Your brief. Your people. 🖤
