have thetimeof their lives.
There is a lot to figure out and many questions to be answered.
What will people eat?
Where will they sit?
What kind of music should be played?
Should the bride wear white?
Ntouskas had some incredible advice in this area.
She suggests that couples avoid spreading finances too thin by trying to incorporate too many small details.
“When it comes to budget, you have to remember that Pinterest sets unreasonable expectations.
Instead, “Choose three vendors in the median range and start your interviews.”
Ntouskas explains that by focusing on the guest experience, couples will set the tone for their wedding.
A schedule is essential
So many things go into making a wedding run smoothly.
In fact, it takes a lot more effort and coordination than most people realize.
Of course, it’s also important to expect the unexpected.
Roby suggests that couples take traffic, unexpected acne, late vendors into considerationwhen creating an itinerary.
This will allow you to make up lost time later in the event.”
This is especially true when you are planning a wedding.
Communication and open discussion help ensure that every facet of planning is discussed."
“Talking leads to discussion,” she adds.
“And that’s where the real planning begins and decisions are made.”
We’re happy to help you navigate those murky waters, though!"
I promise I will not be offended if you don’t like one of my ideas.
I have a thousand of them.
We’ll move on to the next one!"
Ultimately, if you question your wedding planner’s every move, you initiate the risk of derailing everything.
Many couples make emotional or last minute decisions and that can lead you into trouble.
Use your wedding pros as advisors and listen to their advice."
As the old saying goes, “Prepare for the worst but expect the best.”
Be mentally prepared for some mishap and remember that it doesn’t have to ruin your whole day.
Just have a go at take it all in stride.
It’s so much easier to recover when you react to it positively."
Even with the best of people, we might not find that our personalities are a good fit.
If you feel like the professional you’ve chosen is a mismatch, make the change sooner than later.
“Every planner has their specific strengths and many have a niche style.
It’s okay if you don’t gel,” Ntouskas explains.
“You should choose a planner that you connect with on a personal level.
Otherwise forcing it will make planning stressful for all involved.”
The truth is a lot more complicated than that so don’t take any risks.
In other words, don’t put off finding a dress!
“Remember you’ll still need to have fittings and alterations once it arrives.
Save yourself the stress and make this your first engagement priority.”
A lot of preparation goes into a wedding but the actual day goes by really fast.
You are paying a lot for your photographer to capture your day.
Make yourself out in the best light possible."
Again, this is supposed to be a celebration of the start of your marriage!
You’re so fortunate to have found someone to love.
You are even luckier to have had people gather together to honor your relationship.
When you think of it that way, nothing else really matters, right?
Take a deep breath and choose happiness.
