When your wedding day is around the corner,it is time for flowers,beautiful dresses,smiles and all other beautiful things you could think of,but there is potential for stress for you the bride-to-be if you do not plan well. Here are 12 tips to help the process go on smoothly for you;
1. Start wedding planning early;
You might have 2021 in mind for your ideal wedding year,but do not think that you have wait for that particular year for you to start planning. The earlier you get onto the planning,the less stressful and easier it will be as your special day approaches. Start to brain storm and take note of what is most important for example rough guest list,budget and general picture of what you want your day to be like. Late planning will actually reduce your options.
2. Set the budget;
Don’t spend anything until you have set a realistic budget that will not stretch you too far. It is a common mistake to forget all the little extras like tips,gifts,etc. But remember for the budget to work,you need to account for every small detail and additional costs like dress alterations,gifts,tips. All these add up into a significant sum at the end of it all.
3. Helping hands;
Always remember that your friends and family are more than willing to help you out with the entire process from seeking advice and physically running some errands for you. Engage those you feel free and comfortable working with to help you right from the start.
4. Pick your best girls;
Your bridesmaids should be your first and biggest support throughout the planning process,so you should choose them wisely.People you have recently met or relatives you rarely meet may not be your best choice. Instead your sisters,long-term best friends and close relatives are a great circle to choose from.
5. Draft your guest list;
Thinking out your guest list early is so important as it guides your
focus on finding the perfect venue that will cater for the chosen number. It is the hardest decision in the whole wedding planning process but do not be guilt-trapped into inviting people you do not want to come and be part of your special day.
6. Choosing your wedding venue;
You may not be a fan of where you currently live or wouldn’t even want to wed where you grew up but make sure you do not go so far from the majority of your guest list as many people will not be able to attend. It will actually also affect the timings of your events for the day as you can’t expect most guests from far distance to keep time.
7. Book the best photographer you can;
Your wedding photos and video relive the cherished memories of your day so do not under estimate the importance of a good photographer. It is as such important to research to choose carefully someone who will understand exactly what you want. An engagement shoot is a great idea too because it will help you get to know your photographer better as well as practice the poses and getting at ease in front of the camera.
8. Look and feel fabulous!
Everyone wants to look fabulous in their wedding photos,so if you would like a confidence boost,now is the time to adopt a healthy eating plan,visit a beauty spa and practice a few simple exercises to tone your body. However going on an extreme diet is NOT a good idea since you do not have to lose the real you. Your spouse would love to marry the REAL you.
9. Get the menu right;
One of the biggest talking points and what sticks to people’s memories on a wedding day is the FOOD. Therefore,you should avoid messing in this area,it is another key factor to a colorful event. You have to plan and come up with your menu early enough.We would advise that you out of your own favorite dishes.
10. Give your groom his own responsibilities;
Your fiance too will definitely have his own ideas and opinions and will want a say in the planning.Listen to what he says and incorporate it into your plan because it is his day too.Most guys like to get involved with the menu,music and budget among other things.
11. Make personal little details;
Your wedding is about the two of you,so try to incorporate as much as of your personalities into your day as much as you can. From the outfits,first dance and general look of the day.Your guests should see a reflection of your personalities in your wedding and get to say”that’s so them!”
12. Do not forget what is important;
