When looking back on her whimsical country wedding, Jessica’s best advice is not to try to take everything on board yourself; enlist the help of others with some of the smaller jobs – they’ll love being a part of your wedding preparations and it frees up your time to concentrate on the bigger tasks.

“When people offer their help, take it! Not only will it help you both by delegating a lot of small jobs to a lot of people, it will make them feel special that they were able to contribute a small part to the day. Also have fun. A wedding is your chance to throw the biggest and best party in your life; think of it as a chance to have the most fun you and your family and friends have ever had.”
