7 of My Biggest Wedding Planning Tips
Planning a wedding can be both thrilling and overwhelming at the same time. As a wedding photographer, I’ve seen my fair share of wedding planning successes and challenges. Through the years, I’ve made notes of the do’s and don’ts! So, here are 7 of my biggest wedding planning tips to help make your special day run as smoothly as possible!
1. Start Early:
The key to a stress-free wedding planning process is starting EARLY. Begin by creating a timeline and checklist of all the tasks that need to be completed leading up to the big day. This will help you stay organized and on track!
2. Hire Professionals:
While DIY projects can be fun and personal, hiring experienced vendors can make a huge difference in the quality of your wedding day. From photographers and florists to caterers and DJs, choose professionals who have a strong reputation and a portfolio to back it up!
3. Communicate with Your Vendors:
Open communication is crucial when working with vendors. Make sure to clearly communicate your vision, expectations, and any specific requests you may have. This will help ensure that everyone is on the same page and working towards a common goal.
4. Have a Plan B:
No matter how well you plan, things can still go wrong on the day of the wedding. Be prepared for any potential hiccups by having a backup plan in place. Whether it’s rain on your outdoor wedding day or a vendor cancellation, having a contingency plan will give you peace of mind, trust me!
5. Take Care of Yourself:
Amidst all the planning and excitement, don’t forget to take care of yourself! Planning a wedding can be very stressful, so it’s important to remember to take time for yourself. Make time for self-care activities, exercise, and eating well in the months leading up to your wedding. This will help you feel your best on the big day!
6. Delegate:
Seriously, don’t try to do everything yourself! Delegate tasks to trusted family members, friends, or your wedding planner. This will help relieve some of the pressure and ensure that everything gets done in a timely manner, and doesn’t all fall on you.
7. Enjoy the Process:
Most importantly, remember to enjoy the wedding planning process! It’s a special time in your life, so try to have fun and cherish the moments leading up to the big day. Keep things in perspective and remember that the most important thing is celebrating your love with your partner. Cherish the time leading up to the big day, and enjoy your engagement!
I hope these tips help you as you navigate the wedding planning process! Remember, your wedding day is a reflection of you as a couple, so make sure to infuse it with your personalities and love. Happy planning!
