Your 12-month wedding planning timeline

Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming. The trick is to do the right things in the right order. Here is the timeline we give every couple.

12 months: the big three

Set your budget, choose your guest count and book your venue. Everything else depends on these.

9 months: the key vendors

Photographer, caterer and band book up early. Secure them next.

6 months: the details

Order your dress, send save-the-dates and start on your design.

Book the people, then plan the pretty things.

1 month: the final stretch

Confirm numbers, finalise the seating plan and hand everything over to your planner.
