Welcome to the 2016/17 edition of East Weddings. In our pages you’ll find everything you need to know for planning your big day from how to take the first steps in finding the perfect venue to choosing what your guests might eat! We’re here to help! This time two years ago I was in a tiz. My wedding was just a couple of weeks away and my to do list was getting longer by the day. I still hadn’t organised my seating plan let alone written place cards, my idea of a ‘message in a bottle’ as a guest book (we had a beach wedding) had become a disaster, as I couldn’t find a demijohn, my fiancé couldn’t find shoes, RSVPs were missing, the options for hairstyles was endless – need I go on? Looking back, it really didn’t need to be like this. I was lucky enough to have an efficient wedding planner, caring mother who was willing to help and two hands-on brides-maids.
