Terms of Use

Last updated: 2 November 2026

Bride Guide UK is a personal reference site written and maintained by Aubree. By using it you agree to these terms. They're written to be read, so please do. Questions are welcome at [email protected].

The articles are general information

The articles explain how weddings work in the UK as clearly and accurately as possible, but they're general information, not legal, financial or other professional advice for your circumstances. The rules on giving notice, ceremonies, fees and documents differ between England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and they change. Every article shows when it was last reviewed; before relying on anything legal, check with the official registration service for where you're marrying, and the articles link to those sources.

The planning tools

The planning tools are free planning aids that help you organise your own information. The budget calculator adds up the figures you enter, and any example figures are made up, not quotes, prices or averages. Suggested timings in the checklist and schedule are guidance only. Supplier deadlines, payment dates and cancellation terms are whatever your contracts say.

Everything you enter into the tools stays in your own browser (see the privacy policy). It never reaches this site, so it can't be recovered if your browser data is cleared or a device is lost or replaced. Download a backup or export of anything you'd hate to lose from Your planner data. If you record information about other people, such as guests' names or dietary needs, you're responsible for handling it sensibly and only sharing it with people who need it.

Accuracy and availability

Care goes into keeping the articles accurate and the tools reliable, and problems are fixed when they're found. But the site is provided as it is, without a guarantee that it will always be available, error-free or suitable for your particular wedding. Please check important figures, dates and legal details yourself, and if you spot a mistake, get in touch. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have by law that can't be limited.

Advertising

Articles on this site show advertisements served by Google AdSense. The ads are chosen by Google, not by me, and an ad appearing here isn't a recommendation. There are no ads on the planning tool pages, and no paid-for or sponsored articles. How ads and cookies work, and how to change your consent choice, is explained in the privacy policy.

Copying content

The text, tools and design of this site belong to Bride Guide UK. You're welcome to print or save pages, sheets and tool outputs for your own wedding planning, and to share links. Please don't copy or republish the articles or tools elsewhere without permission.

Links to other sites

Articles link to other websites - mostly official sources such as gov.uk, National Records of Scotland and nidirect - because they're useful. Those sites are run by others, and this site isn't responsible for their content.

Changes to these terms

These terms will be updated if the site changes. The "last updated" date at the top of this page shows when they last changed.
