Since we were little girls we have always dreamed about our wedding plans, all we were missing was our prince charming. Now that you have found him and have decided to take the next step in your life it's time to make all those dreams become a reality.
You should leave yourself a minimum of a year to plan your wedding, especially all of my DIY brides. The To Do list is rather long and is filled with a lot of "small" things that is often put off to the last min, but as I have seen happen with my past brides those "small" things are the most tedious things to get together. Take your time and make sure you cover all bases.
After chit chatting with a few married couples, the following areas are places they wish they would have spent a little more focus on:
1- Beat the heat-
Out door weddings are amazing especially in the summer. Brides are always hoping for no rain, BUT what if there is a heat wave? That is just as uncomfortable as sitting in the rain. Are you prepared to keep your guest cool? Check with the venue to see what options they offer, or you can provide personalized fans, a cooled lounge area, or ice cold cocktails.
2- Food! Provide options
I have seen plenty of brides save the food options for one of the last things on their to do list. At this point they have already started to experience some of the stress that comes with planning a wedding and decide the food isn't that important and decide to simplify the menu.
Although this does not have to put on the top 5 to be done first, you should def put some thought into the menu and give your guest at least 3 options to choose from.
3-Memories... Catch them all!
Your weddings is one the days that you will have all your loved ones In one location enjoying themselves.
Along with a photographer you should defiantly have a videographer.
To capture all the special moments during your wedding also any special messages your guest will have.
4- Time is essence!
Plan more time than you need to get ready. For some reason it feels like the big day takes forever to get here, but once the day has arrived the time seems to go as fast as lightening.
You don't want to be stressed on your big day. In fact all you should be doing Is relaxing and getting ready.
5- A day of Coordinator
Attention my DIY brides, help is always great especially on the day of! I plan parties for a leaving, trust me you should be relaxed and stress free and not worrying about if everyone is standing in the right place
