Wedding fayre planning

Tips for Brides to Prepare for a Successful Wedding Fayre

1. Set Clear Goals
Define what you want to achieve at the fayre. Are you looking for specific suppliers, inspiration, or to compare prices? Having clear goals will help you stay focused.


2. Create a Checklist
List out key suppliers you wish to meet—photographers, florists, caterers, etc. Include questions you want to ask each vendor to ensure you gather all necessary information.


3. Bring a Notebook or Planner
Take notes on each vendor you meet. Jot down important details, pricing information, and your impressions of their services. This will help you remember each supplier afterward.


4. Prepare a Budget
Having a clear budget in mind allows you to gauge whether a supplier’s offerings align with your financial plan. This will help you make decisions on the spot.


5. Dress Comfortably
Wear comfortable shoes since you’ll likely be walking a lot. Choose an outfit that makes you feel confident, as you'll be meeting potential vendors.


6. Ask About Specials or Discounts
Many vendors offer promotions during wedding fayres. Don’t hesitate to inquire about special rates or packages available exclusively at the event.


7. Bring a Supportive Friend or Family Member
Having someone with you can provide a second opinion and help keep the energy positive. They can help remember details and ask questions you might overlook.


8. Sample Everything
Take advantage of food tastings, cake samples, and floral arrangements. This is a great way to experience what each vendor can offer firsthand.


9. Collect Business Cards and Brochures
Grab promotional materials to help you remember each vendor later. Organise them by category for easier reference during decision-making.


10. Stay Open-Minded
You might discover vendors you hadn’t considered. Being open to new ideas can lead to creative choices that enhance your wedding.


By following these tips, you can maximise your experience at a wedding fayre and ensure that you gather all the necessary information to make informed decisions for your big day.
