Weddings take work when it comes to planning. During the final weeks, the pressure will build. However, with proper planning you can ensure a trouble-free and enjoyable wedding. Ahead are some tips that will make this event go well.
Understand that all who are supporting you and helping with your wedding are doing it out of love, as you should show them respect and appreciate what they are doing for you. Do not become a “bridezilla”, as this can alienate a lot of people and put a damper on the days leading up to your wedding.
Get your nails done when you get your hair done for your wedding to give you the overall pampering that you deserve on your big day. It isn’t very expensive, but the foot bath and hand massage will help calm your nerves and leave you looking beautiful and feeling great!
One of the things that you can do to make sure that everything looks good is to choose a bathroom buddy. This person can sit next to you in the bathroom to give you another set of eyes to analyze your dress, accessories and the makeup that you will wear on your wedding day.
Even if your budget is small, having two photographers at your wedding can catch shots that might be missed otherwise. Consider asking family members to take on the roll as an additional photographer, or even have both photographers be someone you know personally. Free is the best way to go, and they might even give you the end product as a wedding gift.
If you want to save money on your destination wedding, have your honeymoon in the same location! You can usually get a great deal on the hotel for a longer stay, and you’ll only have to do research on the place that you’ve selected for your wedding. This will also give you more time to relax as you won’t be scurrying to the airport to get on your plane.
To ensure you have photos of everyone in attendance at your wedding, have a photo booth set up right next to your guest book. Photo booth rentals are readily available and can be set up in a variety of ways, usually with the help of the booth operator, who will assist your guests and guide them into making some memorable pictures for your photo guest book. When the photo has been developed, the attendant can put the picture into an album and have the guest sign it with their congratulatory wishes. You can also choose to have two sets of photos printed so you can give your guests one as a little remembrance of your special event.
To save money, use seasonal flowers instead of exotic or out of season flowers for your wedding decorations. Flowers that are in season are a lot cheaper to buy. While exotic flowers may look nice, they can be more than double the price as they need to be imported from abroad.
Only invite people to your wedding who matter to you. It isn’t meant to be a show of wealth or reputation. It is a day for you to share with the person you plan on spending the rest of your life with. Keep your list limited to anyone who you would want to see in the photos you’ll be looking at for the rest of your life.
The marriage itself is what is important, so the right fit is essential. You may think you know your partner in and out, but things happen. Rather than letting circumstances tear you apart, allow them to bring you together. Hopefully, with the tips above, your special wedding day will come and go with ease and leave wonderful memories that last a lifetime.
