Planning a wedding can be quite the task. As a bride you have to keep track of every little detail and make sure that you coordinate the actions of caterers and decorators. This can be a trying and confusing process if you are doing it hopefully for the first time. Fortunately there are common sense steps you can take to make the process easier. You can call them guiding principles to go by when doing wedding planning. These principles are not the only solutions or even ideas on how to go about it, but they will help you to find creative solutions and have a less stress free nuptial.
The most important thing to remember is that it is impossible to do it alone. You will have to rely on the help of your groom, family, and friends in order to help your planning go more smoothly. You don't have to just rely on them to remember their parts during the wedding rehearsal. The way to do it properly is to lay out your plans for your ceremony talking with your groom and participating loved ones. When you have your plan finalized then you can delegate different tasks to each person helping you. This way you can achieve much more than if you had tried to do the tasks yourself.
The next thing to do is make sure that you follow through. The simple act of double and triple checking after anything you complete for your ceremony and reception will help you avoid potential mistakes and disasters. Look through menus and orders to make sure that you are getting exactly what you paid for. Communicate with caterers and other professionals you are working with so you have a firm track of everything that is going on. While you can't control every little detail, you want to be able to know on the spot at any given time the current status of the major parts of your wedding that is being organized.
Be pragmatic as well as imaginative. One of the things that cause big problems for brides is that their vision is too big to be implemented. If you are like a majority of brides you are not an heiress and thus don't have unlimited resources and access to the top people in the wedding industry. So it will make some your ideas problematic to realize. However you will find that by focusing on what you can do realistically you will find yourself getting something pretty close to or exactly what you wanted in the first place.
Allow for mistakes in your planning as well. No matter how well you organize things it is inevitable that there will be errors and problems when the actual event occurs. So it is important to have backups and fail safes just in case things go awry. If it sounds complicated and involved it is actually quite simple. It just means doing things like having extra chairs and tables stashed away or having extra food and drinks. Doing simple things like this will make it much easier to deal with any problems that may come up with your wedding and allow you to be not as stressed out. You will be able to enjoy your special day known that while you can't plan for everything you took care of most of the possible problems. - 30544
