5 Mistakes to Avoid on Wedding Planning
Listen up, my beautiful brides! I know your wedding is an exciting day and you’ve probably dreamt of it for a while now. So I understand how important it is for you not to mess up and have it all as rosy as possible. But I’m also aware that weddings are known for their chaotic and unpredictable nature. Not everything goes to plan, no matter how hard one tries. But it’s okay; I’m here to try and save you from the blunders. I’ve curated a list of the top five mistakes you should look out for.
#1 Trying Too Hard In a world where the term ‘basic’ is used to discredit, everyone’s in a rut to be different and unique. Sometimes we try so hard that we often forget where our true happiness lies. My number one advice to all you brides would be to follow your heart and focus on what makes the day special for you and your groom. While you’re trying to top another, you’re truly just getting lost in your own chaos. It’ll only end in more distress. Choose details that represent you and your love. Being raw and authentic is the most unique and beautiful as you can be.
#2 Prioritizing Style over Comfort
I’ve seen brides go all out with their wedding outfits, shoes and accessories without keeping the event in mind. And on the day of the wedding, they’re regretting.
Your wedding day is all about you. I bet you want to look the best you can, and I get you, girl. But you also want to enjoy your day to the fullest. Make sure you’re picking the outfit and shoes that work with the schedule of the big day.
A good tip is to always carry a second dress for the party after. Changing into something cute and comfortable at the end of a long, tiring day will feel incredible. I promise you’ll thank me later.
#3 Skipping the Videographer
Failing to capture every moment of one of the most beautiful days of your life can end up being your biggest regret. But thanks to technology, capturing moments is easier than ever today.
Videos allow you to relive the moment, even years later— your vows, your best friend tearing the dance floor, your father’s tears, and all the love you’re surrounded with.
#4 Micromanaging
I know how hectic weddings can be, and it’s tempting to feel in control at all times. Brides and grooms often end up micromanaging their vendors and wedding planners, but in the end, it doesn’t go well for either of the parties.
You’ve hired the best professionals you could, and now you need to trust them to do their job. Once you’ve conveyed your likes and dislikes, it’s their job to make it happen. The more you try and interfere, the higher the chances of it going wrong.
#5 Allowing too many Opinions
You’re going to hear many (MANY) people give opinions on your venue, dress, catering, and so on. If you try to address or ponder over every opinion you get, you’re probably going to miss your own wedding.
All I’m trying to tell you is, it can get a little hectic, but in the end, always remember the day is to celebrate you and your love. The good always outweighs the challenges as the fruits of your labor comes to life for you and all of your loved ones. So when you feel burdened, look within. Trust your intuitions and make decisions that reflect your style and symbolize your partnership.
