\u201cGee, that wedding was so easy to plan. Absolutely every single thing went perfectly!\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

– Said no-one ever!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that weddings are hard work. You already know this. Coordinating human beings, watering them, feeding them, seating them – it\u2019s a lot! A wedding day is a major event that requires precision, well-thought-out decisions, and a team of people who know how to execute.<\/p>\n

Having been to over 200 weddings, it\u2019s easy for me to see the common trends at each wedding with each couple. Sure, every wedding is unique, but there are some things I wish couples would stop doing\u2026<\/p>\n

Ready for some truth bombs?<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

1. Stop being so hard on yourselves<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve never planned a wedding before! You\u2019re not expected to know how to do all of this easily. How are you meant to remember where to put the cake knife or the fact you may need to bring a power generator? Were you meant to read minds when it came to how much glassware you\u2019d need or how much hiring a live band would cost? I love all our clients dearly so it hurts my heart when they come to us stressed, sad or frustrated with the process. It doesn\u2019t need to be this way, I promise! Give yourself a break and engage with professionals; you’ll thank them for it later.<\/p>\n

2. Stop solely focusing on the wedding day<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t forget, you\u2019ll never have the opportunity to be engaged again. Being a fianc\u00e9 or fianc\u00e9e is the best! You\u2019ve already made a beautiful commitment together, and this is the time to dream about the future, but most importantly, focus on the NOW! Of course, nothing major changes when you\u2019re suddenly married, but it\u2019s worth remembering and honouring where your relationship is in the present.<\/p>\n

3. Stop pleasing everyone else<\/h3>\n

Easier said than done, right? But guess what? This is YOUR wedding, no one else’s. This is your day to do as you please and that\u2019s all the matters. Don\u2019t feel as though you have to make any decisions based on other peoples preferences, beliefs and certainly not their opinions. You\u2019re going to look back on this day for the rest of your lives, so put your stamp on it and do what feels right for you.<\/p>\n

Need more advice? A cuddle? A coffee? You know we\u2019re just a call away. They don\u2019t call us “professional besties” for nothing!<\/p>\n
