Weddings are back in full swing (finally!) and we couldn't be happier to see so many of you getting ready to tie the knot in our wonderful region. For years we've seen couples opting for grand celebrations with all of their friends and family, but since the pandemic, we've seen a rise in the number of couples choosing to have a smaller celebration. We love the idea of creating your dream day whether you have 1,000 guests or 10, so we thought why not create a feature that shows you how you can create your dream day with a smaller guest list?

ZAZevents tells us: "Your nuptials should be all about you, and that should be reflected in every aspect of your design, no matter the size of your wedding. Every choice should encompass your personality and style, and it's even easier to achieve this with an intimate wedding. Read my top tips for creating a space where your guests will feel comfortable and want to take photos with you in your beautifully decorated venue:
"Start with deciding on your décor budget. This will help you and your stylist choose pieces and designs that fit within your budget, no matter if it's big or small, you just need to have a number in mind when you start planning your wedding.
"To create an impression on your guests you'll need clever use of décor pieces, arrangements, styling and lighting. You want your venue to be an immersive and visually appealing space that transports your guests into your wedding world."
