Best wedding everplan it yourself

Best wedding everplan it yourself

Date: 2014-10-31
Wedding Party is such an amazing resource for couples and their guests to capture and remember their precious wedding moments; if only we had known about it for our wedding 3 1/2 years ago

As you are all aware, countless DIY projects have flooded the internet over the past several years, along with the illusion that couples can (and maybe should) do everything themselves. We are here to tell you from experience that you can't do it all, nor do you really want to. So, you are on a budget (realistically, who isn't?), but you desperately want that gorgeous Style Me Pretty-esque wedding?

Everyone loves a handmade, personal touch that you had a hand in, and it makes your wedding day truly yours. Feeling really creative? If you're short on time, handwrite your wedding vows to frame and display in your home afterwards. Turn an afternoon into a crafty date and spend time together working on a project you both are excited about!

Your time is valuable and your wedding is not just about one day, it's about the whole wedding planning experience, and who wants a stress-filled engagement? If you decide not to hire a wedding planner, consider hiring a day-of coordinator, or a wedding planner's intern to coordinate and execute the set up of your reception decor. That way, you are sipping champagne and getting your nails done instead of hauling, hanging, and arranging.

If you do have a planner, stylist, or designer, make sure you take initiative and describe both you and your fiancé's taste preferences so the professional can include both themes in your wedding vision. While this isn't a hands-on "DIY project," it's definitely something all couples should "do themselves" so that their wedding day reflects who they are and what they like. For example, if you like pretty pinks and feminine flowers but your hubby-to-be likes clean, modern lines and dark masculine woods, try combining your styles

For those of us with a wallet to consider, let's get practical here. Three reasons to keep it simple at your wedding ceremony:

1. Most weddingceremonies only last for about 30 minutes or so, so don't focus too much of your time and budget on this part of         your day.
2. The flowers in your bridal bouquet and your bridesmaids bouquets will serve as visual interest at the ceremony. You paid for all     those fresh flowers; let them do their job!
3. As the bride, YOU are the best looking part of this ceremony, so all eyes will be on you anyway. Let everyone ooh andaah over     that gorgeous gown that you only get to wear for one day.

Most of all be relaxed and happy and your wedding party will follow your example.
