From planning my own wedding to helping others plan theirs, here are a few tips I have to help you start planning your big day!
1. Start early!
There are a few things to consider when planning a wedding early. The first is budget. It is important to create a budget and stick to it. This will help to ensure that the wedding is affordable. The next thing to consider is the timeline. It is important to plan the wedding early enough so that everything can be done smoothly, but not too early that things are not finalized yet. Lastly, booking a picture perfect wedding venue is essential to ensure your wedding date is available and if your wedding date is in prime wedding season, remember that all other vendors will also be in high demand.
2. Personalize your wedding.
All the little details should reflect your love story. Whether it's custom made invitations that mirror your favorite travel destination, a dessert table filled with your favorite sweet treats, meaningful songs, or sentimental décor using photos, options like these can create an atmosphere that not only will enchant your guests but also allow them to celebrate your love for one another in a genuine way. There are so many ways to incorporate small details in your wedding, so have fun personalizing your wedding that will make it stand apart from others.
3. This is YOUR day!
Make sure your day is what you want, even if that means breaking traditions.
In a world full of societal expectations, you should make sure your wedding day reflects your authentic desires and not the expectations of others. Your unconventional wedding could become a beacon of inspiration to others. Always express your gratitude for the love and support to those that want to take charge of every detail, but don't lose your authenticity. This is your day!
4. Stay calm.
As your wedding day approaches, there will be undoubtedly moments of panic and unforeseen challenges. You need to face them head-on knowing each obstacle holds the potential for remarkable solutions. There can be magic that unfolds when you embrace the chaos, the unexpected moments of joy that can emerge from the stress, and the connections that can form with family, friends, and vendors during this momentous occasion. It's okay to let go of the control grip of the wedding and instead surrender to the uncertainties that await you. Remember, everything happens for a reason!
5. Enjoy the moments!
Amidst the excitement, take moments to savor the day. Be present, enjoy the company of loved ones, and create lasting memories.
I hope these tips serve as a guide to crafting a wedding day that reflects your love story authentically. May your celebration be filled with joy, meaningful moments, and cherished memories for years to come.
