It’s finally happened. You’ve met the love of your life, you’re engaged, and you plan on spending the rest of your lives together, happily married. There’s just one minor detail: the wedding itself. There are a lot of things you will encounter in life that will stress you out, such as finding a new job or moving house, but very few of them will be quite as stressful as planning a wedding. There is a lot that you need to consider when it comes to putting together your perfect day and there are so many expectations that it can be hard keeping your head above water when doing so. As such, this list has been prepared which outlines some of the top tips that you should consider, which will make planning your wedding day a lot less stressful.
Don’t Listen to Superstition
There are a lot of wedding day superstitions out there. These include the likes of not seeing each other beforehand, carrying the bride over the threshold, not having the wedding on certain days, not using certain coloured flowers, and so on. Don’t listen to them. Your wedding day is exactly that – your wedding day. As such, the only factor that should be considered when it comes to planning the day is what you want. You need to feel as comfortable as possible on your wedding day and, as such, whatever you think is the right call is the right call. Do what is right for both of you, not what is right in the eyes of superstition.
Have a Think About What Is Most Important
So, now you are putting your needs at the forefront of your mind, take a moment to think about what you consider to be the most important, as this will make making decisions a lot more straightforward. You and your partner should sit down and make a note of the things that are most important to you both when it comes to your wedding. This could be the dress, the party, or the food. Regardless, when you are both on the same page about what is most important, you are going to be in a much better position to make the important calls. Don’t worry about what you should technically have, and instead, think about what you want. Again, this is your day.
Take a Break
Planning your wedding can become your whole life if you let it, so make sure that you are setting aside some days a week where you just take the night off and don’t worry about it. You can make this a date night where you both go out. You could see family and friends or simply put your feet up and chill out. Having these breaks are going to prove vital. This is supposed to be a joyous occasion, and if you let it encompass your life too much, then it will take the fun out of it. Have a night off.
