Do's & Don't's for planning the perfect wedding!

Wedding Planner Extraordinaire - Rasha Badran from The Purple Chair has been planning weddings in the UAE for years. So who better to give their valuable real-world advice for brides-to-be on what to do and what not to do when planning a wedding?

Read on as Rasha shares her top Do's and Don't's for planning the perfect wedding in the UAE...

Inspiration

Do: The internet is filled with beautiful pictures and wedding inspiration. It can be both exciting and overwhelming. Do try to filter out all the pictures and get inspired by a few that you prefer the most.

Don't: Try to combine too many ideas and themes, it will be overwhelming and might not turn out the way you hoped. Select things that create the best harmony and are all relevant to your theme

Weather

Do: Pick your venue according to the season. When summer gets too hot, do pick a beautiful indoor venue. As for winter and spring, theres nothing more beautiful than the great outdoors. Nature plays a big role in weddings and guests love to celebrate under the stars!

Don't: Stress too much about rain. Most hotels have a back-up plan. Worst case scenario you can always move your wedding indoors. This may seem stressful however most hotels are well trained and can handle the situation easily. Make sure you discuss that with your venue when selecting the right hotel for you.

Wedding Planner

Do: Hire a professional who can help you implement your big day and take away all your stress. This will put you at ease during your wedding and help you focus on you. Make sure that you select someone you trust as it is very important that the planner and bride have a good connection. Having a good fit is a key factor to great results

Don't: Don't worry yourself with all the small details. Once you have picked your planner and are confident she/he will do a good job then take this time to your advantage to start focusing on other things such as your dress/hair/makeup etc. With regards to decor, pick the things  that are most important to you and get involved in those. Do not stress out during the planning period. Leave the hard work to the professionals as that is why you hired them!

Make-Up & Hair

Do: like and trust your make up artist! She is one of your best friends on the day. Remember that you will be treasuring your wedding photos forever and you always want to look back in awe, not regret. How do you select a look? My best advice is to research popular wedding blogs and get inspired by other brides when selecting your look. Remember that location and light are important factors

Don’t: try a dramatic new change on your big day. You want to look like the best version of yourself. Also, don’t try any new beauty treatments or extreme tanning right before your wedding!

Wedding Cake

Do: Wait until you have a venue, a theme, and a flower design before you choose your cake. These three elements are huge in deciding what your cake should look like. If you are hosting a rustic wedding, go for a rustic cake. If you are hosting a beach wedding, perhaps go for a nautical cake or choose flowers for the cake that compliment the look you are going for. Never choose the cake before you have decided on these three elements! 

​Don't:
Always go for the classic vanilla or chocolate wedding cake just because they are the usual. There are so many different flavours available that your guests would love to try. Try something different in summer like a sponge cake with a fruit filling to compliment the season, or a hazelnut and mocha cake for winter.

Wedding Venue

Do: Pick a venue that reflects your personalities and what you love the most. Weather its a romantic setting on the beach or a grand ballroom with glamorous chandeliers, go with what you feel represents you the most, as it will make you happiest on the day

​Don't: Pick a venue that you don't like in hopes that you will decorate it enough to change it. That will be a stressful and expensive decision to make.
