Ask Auntie Stacie

Q We can’t find a venue that we both agree on and it’s starting to get us down. We just can’t decide where to hold the event! Please help! (Lesley, Aberdeen)

A This is really quite a common problem. Considerations such as how many people you plan to invite, what sort of catering you would like and where you want to hold the reception, can all go some way to finding a suitable location. Try coming up with five factors and you should be able to find somewhere to accommodate both your needs (and those of your guests!)

Q I feel really overwhelmed with all the details I need to organise for my wedding. Where on earth do I begin? (Katy, Newtonhill)

A Even if you have dreamed of your wedding day since you were a little girl, most brides will admit to feeling more than a little overwhelmed as the big day approaches. Have you considered using our Dedicated 2 Weddings Manual which is a step by step guide that will steer you through the process? Also bear in mind that not all the decisions should be down to you and that you can choose to have as extravagant a wedding as you want. Don’t feel pressured into having a low key affair if you want a grand ceremony and vice versa. Whatever you and your partner decide should be fine by everyone else!
