Happy New Year! Time to get booking....

I hope that you have all had a wonderful Christmas break. Christmas is my favorite time of year, however, I hate the comedown afterwards and every year I find it so hard to get back into the swing of things during January!

I cant complaint though, after the last couple of years, its nice to finally have a little normality and look forward to what could be one of busiest years for wedding bookings that we have seen in a while.

With many of you looking to start booking your suppliers for this coming year, I cant stress how important it is, once you find a supplier that you love, to get your wedding date secured in their diary.

Many brides ask when is the best time to book their hair and makeup? My answer is always as soon as you find an artist that you not only love their work, but you also connect with and feel that you are working from the same page to create the perfect look for you. Finding an artist, like any of your suppliers, can be the hard part! With so many to choose from, where is the best place to start?! Always do your research, Instagram is a great place to start and will give you a feel for the style and ethics of the business. Online guides/ blogs such as Bride Book and Rock my wedding will not only list suppliers but will also feature shoots and weddings they may have been part of so you can see their work in action.

Once you have found what you are looking for, don't hesitate to get in contact and ask any questions that you have, even if its just to say hi and chat through your ideas, you'll soon get a feel for if they are the right supplier for you!
