Q We getting married in summer and are looking for a special way to remember loved ones no longer with us, what ideas can you suggest?
A Greg Simpson says: It can be difficult to miss a loved one, especially on a special occasion like your wedding. Releasing doves provides a unique and special way to remember those loved ones who can't be with you on your special day. The symbolic gesture of the soaring doves conveys a message of love, peace, and remembrance, creating a heartfelt tribute that adds a special touch to your ceremony. This thoughtful gesture is a beautiful and meaningful way to honour the memory of those who have passed, creating a lasting impact on you and your guests.

The release can be included as part of your ceremony with all your guests or in a more private setting to reflect quietly together. Here at Angel Wings Dove Release, we work with all couples to make a sad, emotional moment a beautiful and memorable one.

Q We've just started planning our wedding; what advice can you share for finding suppliers?
A Caroline Inglis says: Planning your big day is an exciting time, but it can also be quite daunting as there are many things to consider.

Once you've found a venue, picked a theme and found the perfect colour palette, it's time to pull other elements together. There is a wealth of wedding publications both in print and online that will inspire you. Make a list or create a mood board with ideas and photos of things you like, which can be shared with suppliers. Many companies offer an array of services, and you may be surprised by the amount of businesses that are local to you or the venue – booking them will help keep your travel costs down.

You'll want to be confident that your day will be everything you've envisioned. While email and online chats are great, you won't be able to convey your vision to suppliers easily. Arrange to meet with the teams, preferably at your chosen venue, to discuss all the details. Here you can share your mood board, build a relationship with the supplier and provide details for any other businesses they may need to coordinate with on the day, such as event planners and caterers.
