While your wedding may be the happiest and most wonderous day of your life, it can also be very stressful. There are a million things to take care of from flowers, to the cake, the gown and more. Follow the advice in this article to make your wedding planning process more manageable, and eliminate your unnecessary stress.
If you are planning an outdoor wedding you will need to consider the possibility of bad weather. If you do not have a backup plan, this could ruin your wedding and inconvenience all of your guests who are attending. Always prepare for the worst on important occasions.
Wedding gowns can be pricey. Look at dresses that aren’t actually classified as wedding dresses. They are usually much less expensive but they can be just as beautiful. You might find a great bridesmaid dress or simply a classy outfit that you like. Even after some alterations to spruce it up, it can still prove a more affordable alternative to a dress that says wedding on the label.
If you have a lower budget for your wedding, don’t include flowers in your decorations. For centerpieces you can use branches you find on a walk in the forest, and surround the containers you put them in with stones from a nearby river or creek. Make a bouquet out of local plants and flowers for a locavore touch!
Consider having an alcohol-free reception to alleviate the worries that inebriated guests can cause. If you do choose to go this route, make sure to offer many beverage options to your guests including soda, water, coffee, and tea so they don’t feel like they’re going to get parched. Having a homemade fruit punch served in a fountain can make a gorgeous centerpiece for your catering table!
Make sure that you never plan your bachelor or bachelorette parties the day before the wedding. There may be a lot of drinking at these parties, and the last thing that you will want to do is ruin the day of your wedding because you are not fully functional. Have a calm day right before your wedding.
Even if a wedding photograph looks like it isn’t what you intended, keep it, at least in digital form. Sometimes the bride and groom will see a shot that they love even if the photographic composition is lacking. The couple are the final say, so leave it up to them to pick and choose their favorites.
Of course you probably know to tell your DJ or band what songs you expect, but also consider telling them songs you absolutely do not want at your wedding. Perhaps it’s heavy metal, or country music, or even a previous lover’s “special song”. Make sure to tell your husband-to-be what type of music won’t be played.
Getting married is something a lot of girls dream about doing their whole lives. There are too many things that need to be planned, making even the thought of having one overwhelming. This article can, hopefully, relieve some of the stress you may have been feeling and aid you in planning your wedding.
