The Five Most Important Steps For Your Dream Wedding.

Having the right mindset when you start planning your wedding is very important. From the beginning you must have clear goals and vision of what you would like to achieve in the forthcoming months. You must determine your budget and most of all you must have a time schedule of what it needs to be done and when.
Experience shows that couples and mostly brides get very excited at the beggining of the planning process. They buy magazines, visit online forums, search online for hours for ideas… At the end they become overwelmed with all the information. Some of them might even end up having sleepless nights on how they will be able to afford the designer dress and have the fairy tale wedding.
There are five simple steps that I have put into practice during my wedding planning period which I believe will help you organise your wedding and enjoy every single moment at the same time.
- Know exactly what you want; not what the wedding magazines are suggesting or what your best friend, mother or mother-in-law wants. It is YOUR wedding and it is your style that is important here.
- Sit down with your fiancee and decide on the budget of your wedding. If any set of parents will contribute towards the wedding invite them to the meeting. If they are contributing you must keep them involved but be certain on how much involvement you are willing to give them. Be polite and willing to compromise in some points but set the ‘rules’ from the beginning. You certainly do not want to end up fighting with anyone over budget issues.
- Break the tasks into a month-by-month ‘To Do’ list and set up realistic monthly goals. Review the list at the end of each week to see what still needs to be done and that might require your full attention.
- Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you are stuck. Have get together evenings with all the people who are involved in the planning process and ask for their opinion. You will be surprised with what ideas you might come up over a bottle of wine and some snacks!
- Reward yourself with small gifts or getaways. Don’t forget to enjoy this period prior to the wedding by celebrating each day with your fiancee. It doesn’t have to be something expensive or extravagant. Create the element of surprise by arranging a picnic day at the park, a walk by the river with a hot cup of chocolate or even a romantic dinner for two at the comfort of your own living room with candles and romantic music.
When you are not organised and live everything at the last two months, everything will seem to be impossible. When you follow small single tasks every day the planning process will seem to be like a walk in the park and the wedding day will be one of the most beautiful days in your life.
Create positive attitude and the reward will be an unforgettable day!
