If you ask most brides what they remember about their wedding they will say it was the best day of their lives...and one of the most stressful! Reality moment: it doesn’t have to be! It's completely understandable that a new bride feels like she is overwhelmed with planning the wedding of their dreams, but remembering a few tips will ensure the months leading up to your big day are as stress free as possible.
Tips and Tricks
1. He said. She Said. Communication is key. – Not every groom is as interested in the color of table cloths or which font is the best on the menu cards as their enthusiastic bride– but it is vital that you keep him up in the communication loop throughout the planning process. This isn't just important for ensuring your wedding day runs smoothly but will be key in keeping you both connected to your big day.
2. Choose your caterer wisely. – Of course every bride wants delicious food at her wedding but catering is the one huge component of a reception that can go disastrously wrong. Miscommunications, unprofessional service staff and a menu that doesn't match up to what was promised can be devastating day of disasters. Ensure your caterer has an impeccable resume and reputation, belongs to industry organizations like the International Caterers Association and International Special Events Society, and has a great attitude. These tips will help to make sure your caterer does not embarrass you at your wedding. 3. A rose is not just a rose.– Flowers can often be a defining element of the style and elegance of your wedding. Choosing a floral designer that has a strong reputation and that stays ahead of the current trends of the industry will ensure your day is exactly what you've planned. An award-winning professional has the experience and talent that will guarantee your vision is brought to life.
4. Picture this. – A picture is worth a thousand words...maybe a million in the case of communicating your wedding expectations. Presenting your wedding vendors with photos and sketches of your vision will help to ensure that the end results match exactly what you envision. 5. Do Not Disturb. – Nothing will ruin your wedding day bliss like a frantic phone call from a confused vendor or clueless guests. A professional vendor should ask you for an alternate day of contact (your mother, maid of honor, or your wedding planner) in the case that there is a question or day of emergency. This will ensure while you are getting a massage, your hair done or pre-ceremony photos all you are left to do is smile and enjoy your wedding day experience.
These key tips will not only help to eliminate the stress of planning your perfect day but also ensure your day is exactly what you've been dreaming of!
