10 MOST COMMON WEDDING FEARS AND HOW TO OVER COME THEM!
Decision-fatigue is completely real.
When you are planning your perfect wedding, you have to make loads of decisions, from small to big once. I am sure that sometimes, it can feel as if you’ve got decision-fatigue and at this point, it can be a very easy to worrying that you’ve made the wrong decision. Have you booked the right suppliers? Did you choose the right dress? Might your guests have a better time if you’d booked that live band instead of the DJ? Should you have ordered more flowers?
The only way to avoid this feeling, once you’ve made a decision, you need to LET IT GO AND MOVE ON, DON’T LOOK BACK!
I know that’s easier said than done but really, it’s not that tough to do, trust me. Firstly, take your time, thoroughly research your suppliers and be confident with the style of wedding that you’re planning. So before you book anything make sure you have that clear. Stick to the things that you like, don’t be swayed by others thoughts or ideas and try to avoid friends and family giving you ‘helpful’ advice because more often than not, that will be enough to bring on the panic. Make as many decisions as you can with your partner so that you can draw strength from each other and whatever you do, please stop looking around once a decision has been made. If you continuing to look at dresses, floral arrangements etc. once you’ve made a decision will only confuse you or make you feel that you’ve somehow done the wrong thin or leave you in doubt. Thick the box on your planner and move on and do that with everything.
Planning your day
Creating a wedding day that looks perfect is usually the top of every couple’s list of wedding must-haves. You really want to create a day that looks perfect, reflects your style and you and impresses your guests (yes, it’s ok to admit that!). However, it’s just as natural to worry about how things will look and whether or not they will come together/work in quite the way you imagine they would. Planning a wedding doesn’t come naturally to many people and it can also be incredibly daunting and again, to cut down on your worry, work with suppliers you trust, suppliers whose portfolios and style are aligned to you and your fiancé’s own tastes and preferences. Knowing that the professionals have it all under control should give you the confidence you need. Of course, the great unknown can be the things that you have arranged yourself and here, if you’re worrying about anything, use ‘less is more’ mantra. That means keep everything as simple as possible, make sure that everything you add on to your wedding works with your vision and if you’re in any doubt about it, I would say don’t do it!
Paperwork & checklists!
If there’s one thing that keeps couples awake closer to their wedding day, it’s the thought that something’s been forgotten. You might be worried that you’ve forgotten to book something or to do something or arrange something or confirm something and if this is your worry, you can immediately reassure yourself that you’re actually a planning genius by either checking your paperwork or emails.
A quick double check will put those fears to sleep and that’s definitely the best thing to do. This is why it’s so vitally important that you have a plan and that you make sure to stick to/stay on top of your plan and that you keep good records as you plan. if you have all the information to hand and you know exactly where you are in the planning process then all the reassurance that you need is to hand. If you do find out that something is actually missing then you got two options you either need to do something about it or let it go. Missing a small item in the day is unlikely to be noticed by anyone, apart from yourself of course, so finding out that you’ve not ordered something doesn’t have to be a big issue. you could either correct things with a quick order or decide to live without that item or element and move on. Especially small things are absolutely not big enough to derail your day or your happiness.
