The answer is yes.
Wedding planning is not an easy task, but if you follow some of my advice - I think that you will find that wedding planning can be a lot more fun than you think!
1) Dump the control freak.
Because it is your wedding and you want everything to go your way you can easily be warped in to that Bridezilla that everyone fears. Please don't do that. Just dump that inner-control freak inside of you and ask for help. It will relieve so much stress, even if it is just the little stuff. I have some amazing bridesmaids who have been so helpful. For example, I put one of my maids in charge of figuring out salons for the day of the wedding. She set everything up for everyone!
2) Start your planning early
My family and friends make fun of me for getting so much done so early. But, that's okay. My time management gave me that much more time to spend enjoying my engagement. In addition, if there was anything I wanted to double back to, to change....well I was able to do it flawlessly.
3) Get Healthy
If there is one thing that probably all brides will admit to, it is that we want to look our absolute best on our wedding day. Being unhealthy is a HUGE stressor for weddings. Start your wedding diet now. As the days pass by and the planning continues you will find that you are starting to look better, feel better and find yourself in a more positive state of mind.
4) Forget Perfection
It’s easy to get carried away with hopes and expectations riding so high. But remember, your wedding is ‘just one day’ out of your entire life. And that the aspiration of ‘perfect’ doesn’t exist. Just try and relax and keep in mind that your wedding is a celebration of your commitment to one another, nothing more, and nothing less. Just realize things can and will go wrong, which is normal.
5) Hire a Wedding Planner
If both you and your future husband-to-be or Bride-to-be have very busy lives....hire a planner! Wedding planners know everything there is to know about this kind of stuff - so let them be the decision makers, let the weight ride on their shoulders. If you think your life is to hectic to plan the wedding of your dreams, then let someone else do it!
6) Don't Worry, Be happy!
Be happy. If you feel like things are starting to fall apart, just think back to the day you were proposed to. That is what I do. All of a sudden that feeling of happiness rushes over me and I realize all over again how lucky and fortunate I am for everything.
