THE ROAD TO THE ALTAR

BY SARAH DE RANGO

So you’re lucky enough to have booked your dream venue, the date is locked in and the agreement is signed. Congratulations! The biggest piece of the wedding puzzle is sorted, and it’s time to check some more boxes off. But you may be asking yourself, what comes next?

First up, it’s time to lock in some amazing suppliers to bring your wedding vision to life, including floristry, styling and design, photography, and catering. It’s crucial to have an understanding of your ideal budget so that you know exactly what you’re willing to invest in your day, and you have a clear number to stick to.

Lucky for you, if you’ve booked a Nudo venue, you have access to the best of the best in the wedding industry such as Anatomy of Flowers, and Art of Grace, just to name a few! Each of these vendors knows exactly what it takes to not only transform a wedding but elevate it too. Once you’ve estimated your approximate spend across each of these avenues, then it’s time to lock them all in and pop a bottle.

One year out from your wedding day, it’s time to kick off the planning process! You two lovers will meet with your highly experienced, amazing planner from The Goodsmiths to discuss the finer details of your day. Their job is to hold your hand throughout the entire process and ensure that your journey is nothing short of perfect. At this time, you’ll chat through all of your ideas, get opinions from the experts, and organise both your meeting schedule and payment plan for the rest of your journey. All Nudo couples are placed on a monthly payment schedule, easing any financial struggles and allowing you to chip away at your wedding budget over the course of the year – convenient, right?!

With the formalities out of the way, you’re now introduced to your all-star team of suppliers to chat through the nitty-gritty details. Allow the team from Anatomy of Flowers to talk texture, palette and seasonality with you, working with you to create a wedding mood board that has you swooning. Then, leave it to the professionals to create floral arrangements, unlike anything you could have ever imagined.

The Goodsmiths are world-class stylists, primed in creating unforgettably good experiences. Whether it be custom signage, stationery, romantic candles, or a dazzling neon sign, they have got you covered and will have your venue looking brand new on your wedding day.

Art of Grace will speak to you about your ideal photography style and lean about your love story to bring it to life through photos, while Refresh will tailor a menu to your taste buds and get the custom cocktails flowing. With all of this locked in, and your wedding journey well underway, it’s time to leave the experts to do what they do best – make magic!

Throughout your wedding journey, you’ll have a number of touchpoints with your Planner and amazing vendors where you’ll have the opportunity to ask a plethora of questions, change your mind a million times over, and get advice from the team.

Your planning process with Nudo includes four meetings total, covering everything from design to seating charts, budgets, and the overall run sheet and plan for your day. After each meeting, you’ll go home with small pieces of homework to keep you on track and ensure no minor details are missed and to get everything all tied up nice and early. See, there are so many perks of having a wedding planner. They’re like your own personal fairy godmother!

The final step in your road to the altar (and also the most important!) is to enjoy each and every step of the planning journey. Your Planner will ensure that you remain cool, calm and collected, removing any and all stress from your day and handling all of the details associated with your journey so that all you have to do is show up on the day, looking fabulous as ever!

You’re likely to only get married once, so make it everything you’ve ever dreamed of and embrace everything thrown your way – the good and the bad.

There is so much to love about your wedding journey with Nudo, and it is bound to be one of the most enjoyable times of your life. With a highly experienced and knowledgeable team, we have no doubt that you’ll miss hearing from them once your big day is done and dusted!
