Planning your own wedding? You’re not alone—but it can definitely feel like it. Whether you’re brimming with ideas or totally overwhelmed, my Ultimate Wedding Planning Guide is here to make the journey clearer, calmer and infinitely more creative.

This beautifully designed digital guide blends strategy and style, giving you the tools I use with my full-planning clients—now it can be in your hands. It is editable in Canva (if you don't use Canva it is free and super easy to use!).

Why This Guide Exists

You want a wedding that feels like you—not something copied from Pinterest or dictated by tradition. And while you’re excited (rightfully so), there’s a lot to juggle.

I’m Zuza, a wedding planner and stylist who’s spent years helping couples create intentional, design-led weddings that are as seamless as they are special. I’ve taken everything I’ve learned—the timelines, the styling tricks, the budget pitfalls to avoid—and poured it into one guide you can trust.

What’s Inside the Guide?

This is not a fluffy checklist or a generic template. It’s a complete roadmap built around how I plan weddings for my high-end clients.

The 178-page Wedding Planning Bible:

✔️ A step-by-step planning process

From setting priorities to finalising your schedule, I walk you through the entire journey—calmly, clearly, and creatively.

✔️ Smart tools & editable templates

Budget spreadsheets, timelines, supplier comparison charts, design briefs—everything you need to stay on track, in control, and out of the overwhelm.

✔️ Styling guidance & aesthetic clarity

Learn how to build a cohesive moodboard, create a refined colour story, and elevate your wedding design (without blowing your budget).

✔️ Practical pro tips (from someone who’s been there)

From what to pack in your emergency kit to how to avoid costly mistakes—this guide is full of things I wish every couple knew before they started planning.

Who Is This For?

This guide is designed for couples who care deeply about how their wedding feels—not just how it looks.

Whether you’re:

• At the very beginning, unsure where to start

• Deep in the decision fatigue phase

• Styling your own wedding without a planner

• Looking for clarity, structure and aesthetic confidence

...this guide will meet you where you are and move you forward.

Why It’s Worth the Investment

Weddings take an average of 300+ hours to plan. That’s a lot of evenings, weekends, and brain space. Doing it yourself is possible—but you need the right structure to avoid the stress and second-guessing.

This guide helps you:

• Plan in the right order (no more expensive detours)

• Make design decisions with intention

• Communicate clearly with suppliers

• Stay calm and focused every step of the way

  
  

It's the next best thing to having a planner on speed dial—and if you ever decide you want more personalised support, I’m only a message away.

What Makes This Wedding Planning Guide Different?

There are loads of planning guides out there. But let’s be honest—most are either too basic, too generic, or too obsessed with tradition.

This one’s different. Because you’re different.

You care about how your wedding looks and feels. You want guidance that’s elegant, creative, modern—and deeply practical. And you don’t have time to sift through endless blogs or argue with your partner about spreadsheets.

This guide cuts through the noise and gives you exactly what you need. Nothing more. Nothing less.
