What I learned from my own process, and things I think every bride should know as they are planning their own wedding.
In this blog post we are going to get real. Read about advice, real about where to look, and real about the hard things you have to do.
1: You and Your Love are the MOST Important Thing
Remember that first and foremost, your wedding is about you getting to marry your favorite person ever that is currently walking on planet Earth. Pretty much all of the festivities are for everyone else. If you think about it, you really have a reception so that other people can come see you or come see your better half... that is pretty much it.
Keep you and your lover in focus through it all, that is all you keep when you're done with the tux and white dress.
2: You are Going to Need Help
Whether it is from your mom, aunts, girlfriends, or just websites. Doing your wedding absolutely on your own is almost impossible. Try not to fight it. Use businesses like The Knot, Wedding Wire, or just social media sites.
Just simply using Pinterest or Etsy shops to get ideas or eventually find the actual products/vendors you want to use is such a good idea. Also, don't be afraid to ask your married friends what they did, where they took pictures, where they found the dress, etc. Most people aren't territorial and are so excited to show you their old pictures. It's kind of fun to get giddy with them.
We all need help, we just have to embrace it.
3: Be Prepared for Mishaps
If I have learned anything through my own wedding planning process, it is that crap happens. That is just life. Have a plan, but sometimes it is more important to be flexible because not everything will work out exactly how you pictured it, yet on your big day it will end up seeming perfect.
Like I said at the beginning, it will be perfect because you get to marry your lover. Have fun with the process, and when things don't seem just right, remind yourself of the priorities. Marriage is more about your life together than about the one day with a bishop.
