Get organized
The enormity of wedding planning can feel overwhelming at first, but it’s easy to break it down into tasks that need completing by a certain date. Arm yourself with a wedding planning checklist to work through. You don’t need to do everything at once, so work through it bit by bit to ease some of the pressure.
Delegate tasks to your partner
There are two people saying ‘I do’ here, which means two people can help plan a wedding. Delegating wedding tasks to the groom, such as choosing their suit and arranging transportation is easy enough to do, but don’t be afraid to get them involved in other tasks too. With two of you working through things, it will help save you some stress and helps ensure everything gets done - especially in the run-up to the big day when there will be a lot of checks and phone calls to make.
Make the most of online resources
Thanks to smartphones and the internet, you can take care of a lot of wedding planning when you’re on the move, during your lunch break or even at the gym!
One way you can save yourself some time is to buy a wedding dress online. Online boutiques can provide you with a consultation to help you find exactly what you’re looking for, helping to design the dress of your dreams. You can also look for bridesmaids dresses and your accessories online, which can help you access a wider selection too.
Hire a wedding planner
A key secret of busy brides is to hire a wedding planner. There are many reasons to hire a wedding planner, including saving you time! Wedding planners are experts at what they do, with contacts and knowledge that can save you a lot of stress, while making sure no detail is overlooked when it comes to your big day.
It’s true that wedding planning takes some time. There are a lot of important decisions to be made! But if you take the right approach and get yourself organized, you’ll find it’s much more manageable than you expect. It’s also important to remember that wedding planning should be fun, so make sure you take some time to enjoy it and build wonderful memories of this special time with your partner.
