The Ultimate wedding check list courtesy of Granny Mouse
The question is popped, the ring is on, stars are in your eyes and the wedding invitations are almost ready to go out …… but now what? With so many tasks to take care of and things to arrange, planning a wedding can seem overwhelming.
Of course, the easiest solution is to hand over this important event to the professionals at Granny Mouse Country House & Spa. Plenty of experience at planning big days means that things are likely to go ultra-smoothly.
When it comes to booking the venue, our advice is to try to do this as soon as possible so that you can not only secure your dream venue but choose exactly when you’d like to get married. Things get trickier if you leave it until the last minute as earlier bookings are likely to get in before you.
Although most of our bridal couples pretty much leave it to us, it is important to keep an eye on everything during the build up to your big day. So, here’s some ‘to-do’ lists to ensure that everything is on point:
- Select and order cake
- Arrange ceremony décor: chair covers, table clothes, etc.
