Planning Your Dream Wedding: Tips for Newly Engaged Couples

Congratulations on your engagement!

As you start planning, it’s natural to feel a mix of excitement and overwhelm. But don’t worry—we’re here to help you take the first steps with confidence.

Whether you’re considering wedding locations in Cheshire or dreaming of luxury wedding venues surrounded by countryside further afield, the process begins with a clear vision.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Start with Your Vision

Close your eyes and picture your perfect wedding day. Are you saying “I do” in a picturesque outdoor wedding venue, or is a timeless church or manor house wedding venue more your style? Deciding whether you want an indoor or outdoor wedding ceremony helps narrow your options.

With so many choices, from country wedding venues with breathtaking views to modern wedding venues with an urban feel, it’s worth considering what reflects your personality. Choosing the right wedding venue lays the foundation for your special day.

2. Set Priorities

Think about the must-haves for your wedding. Do you need a wedding venue with accommodation for close family and friends? Or, are you envisioning a venue with versatile spaces like Delamere Manor’s stunning lake and retractable-roofed courtyard? Defining your priorities will make decision-making much more manageable.

3. Create a Mood Board

Get inspired! Whether it’s pinning ideas on Pinterest or flipping through magazines, gather visuals that resonate with your style. Incorporate elements that tell your love story—your day should feel as unique as your journey together. Consider blending timeless elegance with personal touches for a truly memorable experience.

4. Consider the Season, Weather, and Budget

When exploring wedding venues, keep an open mind. The time of year plays a significant role in your wedding plans. If you’re dreaming of an outdoor ceremony, think about how the weather could impact your day. Some outdoor wedding venues, including Delamere Manor, offer flexible options, allowing you to decide on an outdoor or indoor ceremony as late as two hours before your ceremony. Ensuring your wedding unfolds precisely as you envision it, no matter what the forecast says.

Choosing a date in the low season will significantly reduce costs, making the high-end luxury wedding venues more budget-friendly. Check out Delamere Manor’s affordable luxury wedding offers here. Many couples find that off-peak weddings offer more availability and a more relaxed atmosphere while staying within budget.

Why Choosing the Right Venue Matters

Your wedding venue is more than a backdrop—it’s a canvas for your memories. From lakeside settings at lake wedding venues to the privacy of exclusive-use manor houses, the location sets the tone for your celebration.

Remember that the best wedding venues combine stunning surroundings with thoughtful details. Delamere Manor offers everything from outdoor wedding venues to versatile indoor spaces, making it one of the best places to get married in Cheshire.
