All too often, wedding planning deteriorates into a stressful and miserable experience that depletes joy from the wedding day. The following tips will help you make that special day one that is remembered as something joyous rather than something stressful.
If you decide to cater your own wedding party, go to the big wholesale stores, like Costco. This will allow you to save loads of money. See if your friends can split some of the cost.
Wedding dresses are not cheap. When you are browsing through dress shops, remember to look a dresses that are not officially categorized as wedding dresses. You might even consider whether a dress designed for bridesmaids could meet your needs. With the lower base price, you can likely also afford alterations to the style of the dress and still come in under the price of a traditional wedding gown.
Do not under-eat in an effort to fit into your dress. Starving yourself or resorting to unhealthy weight loss tactics causes you to feel dizzy, weak, and light-headed. You wouldn’t want to pass out. You would do better to choose a dress that has a corset back, as this allows you to adjust the fit with out the need for tailoring.
Tie in small decorative items to your wedding decor. Use a similar ribbon for your bouquet as that on your gown or your centerpieces. Your wedding day is special and important so you want to put in the effort for even the littlest details.
Order small individual portions of cake from a local bakery if the thought of spending the equivalent of your honeymoon on your cake does not appeal to you. You may be able to find a bakery willing to provide freshly-baked cupcakes that are low-calorie and available in healthier options for family with special dietary needs such as gluten or sugar-free.
Use this advice to be assured that your wedding is well planned and relaxing. This will make for a time to remember. If you have planned ahead, your wedding will be a smooth and memorable transition into the next phase of your life beside the person you hold dearest.
