Almost every bride has been planning her wedding day ever since she remembers. She probably always visualizes her dress, her hair, where she wants her wedding to be, and every little detail of her wedding along the way. Having such thoughts is not exactly the same way for men, but when men meet their soulmate, they can’t wait for the moment their bride walks down the aisle looking more beautiful than ever and saying “I do”. A special day like a wedding needs to be perfect, and of course, it will be since the actual wedding ceremony is the day two people celebrate their love for each other with their friends and family while they get to be kings and queens of the universe. The actual planning for the wedding can be pretty stressful though unless you know the right tricks to get everything in place. This article is a gift to all brides and grooms out there who are about to start the first day of their happily ever after.
Enjoy Every Step of the Way
The day of your marriage is the day you and your loved one get to be legitimately selfish as a team. Your wedding is about celebrating the both of you as an official couple and what you both want the special day to be like, so always remind yourself that you are planning for your and your partner’s day. Knowing that reality will turn the whole wedding planning process from a stressful task to the most enjoyable activity you look forward to doing with your partner as time passes towards your special day. Finalizing any part of your plan means you’re getting one step closer to the wedding, so always remember to celebrate after taking off an item in your wedding plan checklist. Go out with your friends or buy yourself something you love. Giving yourself a reward for every task done will be both a push to move forward happily and a reminder that this whole wedding process is meant to be a happy one.
All the steps lead to one of the most beautiful moments of your entire life and getting to know what your loves one’s wishes are, will make you even closer as a couple knowing each other’s desires. By carefully browsing through all the local wedding dresses near you, you and your partner can find the perfect dress that aligns with both of your visions. It’s important to communicate openly about what you both want to make sure everyone is happy with the final decisions.
Stick to Your Budget
Having your dream day come true does not have to cause you early bankruptcy. Set a budget with your partner that you both know you can afford, and don’t let any crazy wedding ideas tempt you to go overboard. Although the wedding day is special as it is, the wedding ceremony will still take place in one day and stressing over the money you have to spend for such extras will take away more than just enjoying the planning for your wedding and the perfection of the wedding day. Your marrying date is the first day of a new chapter in your life, so make sure you don’t start with worrying about how to manage money.
Finalize Your Guest List
Should you invite that cousin of yours you don’t really get along with? What about that family friend your parents like but always makes you feel uncomfortable? The answer to both questions is probably no. The wedding is yours and your partner’s day, which means you want to share the special moment with the people you love the most. Why waste money on people you don’t really care to share your special day with? Cross out their names from your guest list then. If you have your list ready, then that’s perfect! Now comes the time to send out the wedding invitations and find out who’s coming and who won’t make it. After you get the responses, you can start planning your seating chart.
Deciding on your Wedding Venue
Decide with your partner about where you want your wedding to be, and how you want the place to look like. When planning for your wedding venue, keep in mind what nature may bring. Will the day fall around a rainy season, so an indoor wedding will be preferable? Will the wedding day falls around spring, so an outdoor wedding will be more enjoyable? Do you prefer a beach wedding? The options where the wedding will take place are countless. Remember it’s your special day, have it the way you always wanted, but still give your guests a little consideration on the venue you will select since you want them to celebrate with you. Wherever and however you want your wedding to be, make sure your guests are going to feel comfortable and have all the services they need available.
No matter what happens, you will always remember your wedding day as one of the most wonderful days of your life. The day you’ll get married is a beautiful start to a magnificent journey where you get to shape your life with your partner, and maybe some time along the way start paving the way for a new life that is a product of your love story. Take as many pictures and videos with the people you love and cherish to bless your life with and share later with your children and grandchildren. You will always keep talking about how perfect your wedding was and how breathtaking you and your partner looked.
