Take It Easy With These Stress-Free Wedding Tips
Weddings are very stressful. Ask anyone who has ever gotten married, and they will tell you that planning the big event can take its toll. Even the most relaxed women often turn into dreadful bridezillas! So no wonder so many brides-to-be try to find the most stress-free options when it comes to organizing their day. Interested in planning your ceremony with as little stress as possible? Then read on for some really useful tips!
Clear Your Diary
Some brides book an appointment with their beauty therapist for the morning of their wedding. They want the whole selection of treatment to help them look as good as possible – manicure, pedicure, facial, and massage. They may even think that they’ll have time for a celebratory brunch with their bridesmaids! While this may be tempting, especially if your ceremony isn’t until the afternoon, you could find all these appointments and plans stress you out. You need to give yourself plenty of space so that you can enjoy every single moment of your wedding day. It will fly past in no time at all, and planning so many different activities will make it go so quick, you just won’t enjoy it. When it comes to seeing your beauty therapist stick to the basics – hair and makeup.
Get Some Help
No matter how much you want to control every single detail of your wedding day, it will be very difficult to keep on top of anything. For this reason, you will certainly feel a big weight off your shoulders if you hire a wedding planner to help you plan and organize everything. Don’t worry; this doesn’t mean that they will arrange anything without you knowing. In fact, many wedding planners work alongside the bride and ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day itself. Your planner can help you decide which is the best wedding venue in your area for the type of wedding you want to have. They can also ring around different caterers and evening entertainment options to see what they can get for your budget.
Break In Your Shoes
Lots of women forget to break in their shoes before the day of the wedding! And they are then left with very sore feet and sometimes even blisters! You will be doing a lot of walking on your wedding, from walking down the aisle to getting around everyone to say hello at your reception. And there will also be a lot of dancing in the evening! So, as you can see, sore feet are just going to stress you out and distract you. Make sure this doesn’t happen by wearing in your wedding shoes well in advance of the big day.
Pay Everyone On Time
You will probably get the chance to pay for the venue in installments. This could also be the case with your wedding catering and dress. If you do opt for one of these payment plans, it’s important that you pay each installment on time. If you don’t, the companies will start to hound you for their money, and this will only lead to a lot more stress. No one wants to be worrying about money on their wedding day, so keep a note of payment dates and make sure you always pay on time.
Get Some Family To Help Out
There are certain small wedding tasks that some of your family can help out with on your wedding day. For instance, you don’t want to spend a long time trying to gather all your family together ready for the photos, so ask a close relative to be in charge of wrangling everyone together. You can also ask a relative or close friend to collect together all the gifts that you receive. These gifts can be displayed on a table at the reception. Getting someone to gather them together in this way reduces the chance of any going missing.
Relax!
It’s important that you try and relax on the morning of your wedding. If you start the day worrying about everything, you will just end up very stressed and won’t be able to enjoy your special day. Don’t worry about things going wrong. Even if you do experience some small hiccups in the running of your wedding, it doesn’t mean that the whole day is ruined. If you are relaxed, you will be able to laugh off these small issues and will be able to forget about them. Don’t expect any major issues on your wedding day – if you have everything planned out, things should run smoothly.
I really liked how you mentioned that hiccups happen. It’s good to remember that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. I figure that it could help to have a little faith in those you hire.
