Eeek! We're engaged! Now what?

There's nothing worse than trawling around to find your perfect supplier and then to find out they are already booked. So here are some tips on when to book some of the many people who will help make your day special.

Start with those who will only work on one wedding per day and/or those who provide their service on the day of your wedding as these are the people who will get booked up first:

• Wedding ceremony and reception venue(s)
• Registrar
• Caterers
• Photographer
• Musicians/entertainment
• Wedding cars & guest transport
• Venue stylists
• Florist
• Make-up and hair artists
• Wedding cake designers

Then those whose service can be supplied any time up to your wedding day:

• Wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses (dresses take many weeks to make, so don't leave till the last minute!)
• Jewellery
• Shoes
• Menswear
• Rings
• Favours
• Stationery
• Vintners
