Congratulations! You have the ring, you called all your friends and family, and you are on your way to marrying the man of your dreams. Then reality sets in. All the thoughts and dreams you've had since you were a little girl are about to come true. But where do you start?? First let me say, this can be an easy time to just head off running and forget about the other person involved in this wedding....It is a well kept secret that while your fiancee has not been planning his wedding since he was 3, he has given it some thought and he does have opinions. You are building a life together.
Don't leave him out of the planning of the day that will make you man and wife. Your family has also been dreaming of your wedding since you were a little girl. As much as it can be difficult to include everyone in every step, remember your family is there to love and support you. Include them as much as possible and this stage of your life will be much easier! When you wake up in the morning and thoughts of mismatched flowers and bridesmaids dresses make you want to scream, remember this....You are planning what is supposed to be the happiest day of your life to this point, relax and enjoy it. Your wedding is the biggest party you have ever thrown. If you keep this in mind, it should bring happy thoughts to replace the stressful ones. No one will notice that the flowers, table cloths, and the bridesmaids don't match perfectly. That is unless your bridesmaids are your centerpieces!
People come to weddings because they care about you, they want to have a good time and celebrate with you. They are not there to judge your choice in theme. Have fun with it and let your personality show. The guests love you, so they will love that your wedding reflects you. Here are the top 10 things to remember each and every day of wedding planning:
- You have a wonderful man who loves you and is about to become your husband Your family is there to love and support you Relax, no matter what happens, you will look back and smile on your wedding day Everything will not be perfect, remember this now and it will make for a lot less stress down the road Breathe and enjoy every moment of the planning, this is a once in a lifetime event You chose your bridesmaids for a reason. They are there waiting to assist you in any way they can. USE THEM! Make your budget and stick to it. Gold and Diamonds are nice, but not necessary on your tables Take time to pamper yourself. Everyone deserves a "me" day every now and then! Don't forget about the groom....especially when you go to look for the tuxedos!
- It's your day. Don't forget it!
There are so many options waiting for you. Pick and choose what you like. There is no written law that you have to have the ceremony a certain way or a certain length. Let your wedding show off your personality. Customize the details and you will be very happy with the end product...your marriage to the man of your dreams!
