Congratulations if you've just got engaged or perhaps 2024 is your year to go from Miss to Mrs!

Either way there's no doubt that you've had several conversations with family and friends about how your wedding plans are coming together with lots of different suggestions, do's and don'ts which can understandably leave your head in a bit of a spin!

The Good - Wedding Planning Websites

If you've not yet visited Hitched.co.uk this is a fantastic website to help you plan your wedding, budget and keep everything on track.  

Not only can you search their huge database of suppliers from Wedding venues to Hair Stylists and Makeup Artists (like us!) in Dorset and Hampshire there's lots of handy tools and checklists as well as other brides you can chat to on their forums too - plus there's a free app you can download to your mobile as well. 

There's also a website solely dedicated to helping you find local hair stylists and makeup artists in your area Make Me Bridal.

The Bad - Very Low Prices

We all love a bargain in the January sale, however watch out for wedding suppliers who consistently offer flash sales, heavy discounts or their prices are much lower than other companies you've shortlisted. If their Black Friday offer runs right through to January and beyond they might not be as busy as they'd like you to think or they may have hidden extra costs not initially advertised. 

Some Dorset and Hampshire wedding suppliers have honest reasons for lower pricing perhaps if they are new to the industry, use trainees or have particular wedding dates that they are looking to fill. 

We offer lower prices for our Junior Hair Stylists and Graduate Makeup Artists and budget friendly pricing for mid week weddings or those in low season too.  Take a look at our example pricing.

The Ugly - Sales Scarcity

Be wary of companies that post the same status update every week stating that they have 'limited availability' and that their diary for this year is almost full - unless they have listed their limited dates of course ;) then this saves everyone valuable time in administration with messages going back and forth.

If you're interested in finding out more about how we can help you on your wedding day then please do get in touch - we'd love to hear from you.
