Walking down the aisle may be one of your biggest dreams. It can be exciting to finally plan your wedding, but without the right guidance, it can seem overwhelming.
Weddings are stressful. That is for sure. Whether it is big or small, there will be things that go wrong. Having a friend of confidant other than your soon-to-be spouse, will help you make it through the process. Having a friend who is on your side and who doesn’t throw their opinion in on what color the dresses should be, is a brides essential.
On the morning of your wedding, you will have to give yourself extra time to get dressed since you will want everything to look perfect. Plan to start getting ready at least an hour before you usually would to avoid rushing to get to your wedding. This will allow you to look your best.
Use more than one camera when photographing a wedding to be prepared for any shot. It’s nice to have two different settings, for example one wide angle lens and one long lens so you can get photos of varying aspects of the same shot. It also allows you continue taking photos even if one of your cameras dies.
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.
Whether or not to invite children to your wedding is a delicate choice to have to make. You don’t want to offend your guests by saying they must come childless, or forcing them to find a babysitter. At the same time, you don’t want kids tearing around your reception or disrupting the ceremony. If you want to have kids there, give them something else to do or another room to play in.
For both brides and grooms, it is important that you do not drink too much at your wedding reception. Although a few drinks are okay, getting drunk will just make you not remember your day and could cause you to do or say something that you are going to later regret.
Providing a printed itinerary, as well as an online one, will make it easier for guest to know the when, where and what activities are planned. Let the guests know what they need to come to, so they can get there when you want them there.
Even if you’ve chosen and bought your wedding dress, think about keeping it at the shop until your special day. In this way, you can be certain it will be properly stored and protected from damage. Having the bridal shop keep it will ensure that it’s pressed and fresh for your special day.
Wedding planning doesn’t have to turn into an overwhelming stressful event. With the tips from above, you can handle planning your wedding and look forward to your big day.
