No event holds as much pressure as a wedding. It’s the one day you want to be sure to get right. With so much planning to get to, it’s easy to forget about the most important detail: having a day you’ll want to remember for life. Luckily, there are some tips and tricks to get through this stressful and exciting time without losing your mind.

Know what you can and can’t have

As sad as it may be, the wedding of your dream starts and ends with your wedding. But that doesn't need to mean that you can’t have everything your heart desires! With careful budgeting and planning, you’ll be able to focus on the aspects that truly matter, instead of getting caught up in unnecessary add-ons.

The first step to planning your Big Day is knowing what your budget is - and sticking to it. Once you know how much you have to spend, you can look at the size of your guest list.

Choosing a date

When deciding on a date for your wedding, you’ll need to keep practical details like the weather, whether or not it’s a busy time at work, and the availability of your preferred venue in mind. It’s also important to consider your guests when making this decision. After all, you want to be able to share your day with those closest to you.

The location for your wedding is also a crucial detail to consider. Choosing a venue that’s conveniently accessed by you and your guests removes the added stress of complicated travel plans. Knightsbrook is situated a short drive from Dublin, in the picturesque Trim. Convenient and beautiful - truly a winning combination.

Take care of yourself

While your wedding day is the perfect time to spend time with loved ones, it’s essential to focus on yourself during the build-up and on the day. Having a relaxing environment in which to prepare for the walk down the aisle can do wonders to your state of mind, and ensures you’re able to enjoy the moment.
