So, you\u2019ve travelled through the stages of getting married (dating, building a relationship and getting engaged). The last step now is planning the actual wedding before your new journey with your soulmate begins. You might know exactly what your wedding is going to be like because you\u2019ve been dreaming about it ever since you were a little girl, or you have absolutely no idea… No idea of where to start, what you want, or what your soon-to-be-spouse wants\u2026<\/p>\n

At least we can give you some<\/em> advice. After you\u2019ve gotten engaged, have the conversation with your partner on whether having a long or short engagement would be best for you. Both options have their perks and impact your planning timeline. Obviously, the long engagement option holds the luxury of planning at a slow and leisurely pace, resulting in less stress. You\u2019ll be able to choose between your favourite vendors (because they\u2019re booked way in advance), and you can enjoy the \u2018just-engaged\u2019 feeling for a month or so.<\/p>\n

The average couple is engaged for 13 months, but there may be lots of reasons why less than a year might be perfect for you and your partner. Maybe you have a particular season in mind, or you just can\u2019t wait to spend the rest of your life with your true love! It\u2019s totally fine!<\/p>\n

Whatever your decision, take a couple of days to get your bearings and visit The Wedding Expo in partnership with Old Mutual<\/strong>\u00a0at Sandton Convention Centre<\/a>, 14 and 15 March 2020. Save the dates for experiencing the<\/em> best the wedding industry has to offer.<\/p>\n

The Wedding Expo in partnership with Old Mutual<\/strong> showcases Africa\u2019s finest wedding suppliers to thousands of planning couples every year.

If you don\u2019t know what you want, at least, visiting the expo will provide you with inspiration and ideas, it\u2019ll allow you to connect with the suppliers face-to-face, and you\u2019ll definitely have a fun day out with your clan, your partner, and maybe you soon-to-be mother-in-law.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of advice platforms, DIY workshops and exclusive VIP experiences available. Table trends for all four seasons are set out and explained. The fashion theatre is open to not only seek out bridal gowns but menswear as well.
