Most little girls dream of their wedding from a young age. The dress, the venue and the catering, everything has to be just so. The reality is that no matter the size of the budget or the number of the guests, whether it is formal or informal, weddings are a stressful affair. Here are some tips on how to preserve your sanity while organizing for your big day.
For a more affordable wedding, consider setting a date outside the traditional season for weddings. That may means having a wedding in a less popular month or on a weekday, but the savings can be significant. During these months, venues become more expensive. If you need to book during this time, make sure you book far in advance to get the best deal.
Pick your wedding date to be at a memorable time in your life. For example, Valentine’s Day is a romantic time to get married and is also an easy date to remember. A birthday or other anniversary is also an excellent choice. This will make remembering the date easier if either of you are very forgetful! It can also give you a theme to work with like hearts or birthday candles.
When planning the theme for your wedding, take into consideration the types of people who are going to be attending. Everything should be appropriate as you should understand that there are probably going to be elders at your wedding. Catering to everyone’s interests is the best way to get great results.
You don’t want to starve yourself leading up to your wedding day just to fit into your dress. You may end up being dehydrated and maybe even light-headed. Of course, you would not want to pass out as you are saying your vows. A good idea is to get a dress that has a corset back; this way, you can keep it on or take it off on your wedding day.
Get properly fitted underwear for your wedding. A comfortable and supportive bra will not only ease the pressure on your back and shoulders, but also adjust your shape to give you a flattering look. Find a good lingerie store in your area who will fit you and order you the correct undergarments.
When deciding on your wedding cake, try to achieve colors that will match your theme. You can use a Pantone book, to help you find the exact colors that you will be using. Most cake bakeries use this book to help them color the cake to match your wedding. Having a cake that completely matches your color scheme, can be very impressive for your guests.
It is important for brides-to-be to stay calm during the wedding planning process. Many women get stressed out when planning their wedding, and end up taking their frustrations out on those around them. Take a deep breath and remember that this is one of the most important events of your life, so you should be happy.
Having a guestbook or reception video is an excellent way for each guest to be able to share their thoughts and memories with you. You can look back on it later as your relationship grows and remember all the people who are most important to you and how much they factor into your life together.
These ideas should help you to have the day you have always dreamed of. Do try to remember that at the end of the day, the most important thing about a wedding is the act of exchanging your vows with the person you love and every other little detail is that, merely a detail.
