With all of the things to remember while doing your wedding planning, you can quickly and easily get stressed out and exhausted. It’s no fun being stressed out, and when you’re stressed out, sometimes it can be hard to sit back, relax and enjoy the little things in life, or to take a break and have a little bit of fun, but this is so important. When you are doing your wedding planning, many people try to use every spare moment to work on their wedding planning, and that’s really not a bad thing, it is called good time management. But a balance between good time management and being able to take a break and have fun is important as well. I know that when I get stressed out, not only can I not sit back and relax, but I also am short with people, and impatient over things that don’t matter all that much, especially with those closest to me. That is no fun way to live, for you or for those around you. So this Christmas season, I would like to give a little piece of advice for those planning a wedding. It’s not rocket science, but it is important, and can really make a difference. Have I built up enough suspense?
This Christmas season, take a break from your wedding planning. I know, I know, there are still so many things to do and decide, create and to plan, but just for a few days over the Christmas holidays, set those things aside and spend some real quality time with your friends, family, and of course your spouse to be. My uncle died in an accident two weeks before Christmas a few years ago, and I know that now his family would give anything for just one more Christmas, one more day even. Treasure those around you while you still have them with you. Sit back, relax, and let yourself enjoy the Christmas season. Make some happy memories with those around you that can be treasured forever.
One of the best things you can do when you are working on your wedding planning is to either create or purchase a wedding checklist to keep for yourself to make sure that you don’t forget anything. Trust me, once you start thinking about all of the things you need to plan and keep track of for the wedding, you’re going to want to have some kind of an organizer or planning a wedding checklist to keep yourself from forgetting anything. There were times during my own wedding planning when someone would ask me something like, “Well, what are you going to do about your ___? (insert wedding photographer, wedding programs, music, I was asked them all)”, and I would realize that I hadn’t even thought about doing that particular part of my wedding planning. Stink. So I started searching on the Internet where I could find a free planning a wedding checklist that I could use, and I found a bunch. But none of them really had everything that I needed, or they had items that I wasn’t planning on using, such as a DJ, and packages for out of town guests. But planning a wedding checklists are great, and overall they can really help you out a lot. Here are some great benefits for using a wedding checklist.
Remember the old fashioned wedding cake topper that consisted of a little plastic miniature of a bride and groom on top of an all white cake? The little bride and groom may have been under a little arch or just standing by themselves. Personally, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this kind of wedding cake topper actually used in a wedding, but then again, that could just be me. Brides today are going for different, unique and something different than what their parents and grandparents have done for years. Wedding cake toppers are a great way to add some extra style and grace to your wedding cake. There are many different kinds of wedding cake toppers you can choose from, and here are some great ideas of some popular choices today.
I spent so much time on our wedding planning and working on the reception and other details that I totally didn’t think of church decorations. It really only hit me about two weeks before the big day when one of the ladies on the church asked me what I was planning on doing for decorations, and when I would need help to start decorating the sanctuary. I was shocked that I hadn’t even thought of it myself, and didn’t really have an answer. At that point so close to our actual wedding day, with all the other stressful details I was working on and considering more important I found myself wondering, “Do I really need church decorations?” After much thought and kicking myself for forgetting such a major detail, I came to the conclusion that my church decorations should have been at the forefront of my mind, and that I had let so many other things get in the way, and I’ll tell you why.
Okay, before I start, I had a totally hard time choosing my wedding colors, and looking back, I may have chosen another color or even a combination of colors to give my bridesmaids and decorations a little bit of a break to make it easier to match everything. For my spring wedding, I wanted my colors to be something bright and cheery, but also didn’t want my bridesmaids to hate me and hate the dress (I choose peach by the way). I wanted to match (or at least not clash) with the colors in the church, and since my bridesmaids consisted of two blonds, a red head, a brunette, and one with black hair, I wanted something that would compliment each person’s skin tone.
