If you’re worried that planning your wedding is going to send your stress levels soaring through the roof, you don’t have to be. We know that you’ve probably heard so many people tell tales of how stressful it was for them to do this, but that doesn’t mean it has to be the same for you. It’s tough sometimes when you have to compromise or you can’t get exactly what you want, but as long as you plan as far in advance as you can, this shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
Down below, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the things that you should get sorted asap to avoid stress, stress, and even more stress.
Budget
More important than anything else, you need to set your budget before you can move forward. You need to ensure that you know how much you have to spend on your wedding so that you can manage your expectations and only look at things that are within your price range.
Sit down and look at how much money you have to spend, and if anyone else is contributing to the cost of your wedding, ask them what they are contributing. This can feel like an awkward conversation, but you need to know in order to plan.
Outfits
Everyone needs outfits. The bride, obviously, needs the dress that makes her feel like the most beautiful person in the room. The bridesmaids need dresses, the groom and the groomsmen need suits, and even the mother of the bride needs to be considered. Now, some people choose to let their bridesmaids choose their own dresses as long as they match with the theme to take a job out of the mix, so that’s something to consider.
Or, you can book fittings with your bridal party, ensuring that everyone is sorted exactly the way that you want them. Just ensure that you leave enough time for modifications closer to the time if they are needed. They may not be needed, but it’s better to be safe than sorry!
Venue
Of course, you’re going to need a gorgeous wedding venue. You need somewhere that stands out, that feels magical, that makes you happy, and most of all, that looks amazing. This place is going to be the backdrop of your wedding, and as such be featured in all of your photos so keep that in mind.
When you’re scouting locations, make sure that you’re keeping in mind where you would like your photos to be taken. Remember that the venue will likely decorate to your specifications, so that’s something that you need to account for.
As you can see, it doesn’t have to be a stressful endeavor to plan your wedding. As long as you take your time and you are focused on what you want, leaving yourself enough time to get it all, that’s what is going to make the difference. We wish you the very best of luck, and hope that you have the most magical wedding day.
