How to organise a last minute wedding

Short notice, off the cuff weddings can be very romantic.  You can’t wait a moment longer – you want to get hitched IMMEDIATELY (or as least as soon as possible). 

Now, you don’t need to worry about all the pessimists who’ll tell you that you’ll never find a wedding venue that’s free, that you haven’t a hope of finding a bridal hairdresser to groom you, that every single florist and matrimonially expert photographer in a 100 mile radius is booked. 

You see what you do is hold your nuptials mid-week, which can avoid all the problems of eleventh hour marriage planning.  It can also make the whole ceremony much less expensive and there are some great last minute wedding deals to be had.   Many hotels, car hire companies, caterers, bands and DJs offer considerable discounts for weekday weddings.  Brides can benefit from a much less hurried service from hairdressers and make-up artists (who will probably be stacking up the bridal clients on a summer Saturday.)
