Being a newlywed myself, I remember all to well the feelings and emotions that are felt while planning a wedding.
Constantly thinking or worrying about all of the details not to mention the financial burdens. Being in the line of work I'm in and also having friends in the midst of planning their own weddings I am constantly being questions that pertain to being a bride...from choosing vendors to how to cope with stress when the wedding becomes the only thing you can talk or think about.
Well the good news is that you are not alone...I feel extremely blessed to have been part of so many weddings while planning my own. It really seemed to help me and my mental state knowing that I wasn't the only one going through what I was going through.
With all of that said, I thought it would be fun to post tips, stories and words of encouragement every week for our brides to read. If you have any questions, comments or topic ideas please feel free to leave a comment!
The following tips come to you from www.thisisweddings.com
It's all too common for brides-to-be to spend weeks before the big day suffering from insomnia, agonizing over early detail and worrying endlessly about what will go wrong. Yet, happily, almost all of them end up having a wonderful time and come out the other side unscathed, able to look back with real pleasure on the experience. So who better to reassure you than women who've been there before you?
"People take hundreds and hundreds of pictures of you all day long. There's nothing worse than returning from your honeymoon to be greeted by photos of you looking like the Hunchback of Notre Dame, so remember to stand up straight and put your head back (no double-chinned pics please) and smile! And my top tip - have a glass of Champagne before you walk up the aisle - it relaxes you beautifully." Liz Dawson, publicist, married six years
"In the midst of all the excitement and emotion, make a conscious effort to spend some quality time with your new husband. What with chatting to every guest, it's easy not to see him all day - which isn't really the point! Make sure that years after the event, you both share the same special memories of the day together." Allison Smith, social worker, married 37 years
"Don't worry about being too bossy or opinionated when you are organizing your wedding. Most people will appreciate it if you know exactly what you want and tell them so. I was very indecisive at first and the poor florist kept coming up with flowers I hated - this wastes lots of time on both sides. Keep pictures of flowers/table settings/hairstyles that you like in a file and you'll have a visual reference to show people." Julia Piper, artist, married eight years
