It’s engagement season right now and coming up right behind that is the beginning of wedding season. What better way to kick off wedding season than to talk about the do’s and don’ts of wedding planning?
Many people don’t realize how much goes into planning a wedding, but by reading a few of these major hints, the process might be made a bit easier.
First, one of the most important things to remember to do is stay within a budget. This is most important because factors in a wedding can get very expensive, and it’s very easy to go overboard very quickly.
Keeping a budget can serve as a reminder for how much everything costs, giving one the opportunity to look for less expensive alternatives which work just as well.
Another aspect for prospective brides and grooms to remember is to pick what they want as opposed to what others think they should have. The wedding day belongs to them and they will want to look back on the pictures and love their own vision.
In addition, make lists and stay organized because wedding planning can get overwhelming very easily.
Furthermore, brides should pick bridesmaids that they know will be there when they need help, because help is a great word when it comes to planning.
Lastly, be prepared for anything. This means the weather, a relative that gets out of line, a dress or a tux not fitting, etc. Anything can happen, so just be prepared.
As for those things one shouldn’t do in wedding planning, one of the first major points is to not get stressed out. This will be hard to do, because wedding planning is not easy, but it is also supposed to be a fun process and an enjoyable one, so keep that in mind as well.
Also, don’t go over the budget. Going over budget can cause a lot of stress during wedding planning, adding extra pressure to the special day.
In addition, don’t let anyone take over the planning, such as bridesmaids or one of the mothers. They may try to tell you that they know better and that they can do it better, but this is the bride’s vision, so don’t let them take that over.
Also, don’t make last-minute decisions, because it won’t turn out well in the end. To combat uncertainty, ask a professional, or if more time is needed, that is okay too, but just don’t rush it.
Furthermore, don’t forget what season the wedding is in, because that’ll determine what the weather will be like that day and what to predict. Always have a backup plan in case the weather gets bad.
Lastly, avoid becoming a bridezilla, and this is accomplished by not getting stressed and not taking on to much. Use help, stick with a budget, make lists and schedules and have fun with the planning process.
