Today I want to share with y’all 5 things I don’t recommend doing when it comes to planning your wedding. I’m not coming for anybody, however I want to share my knowledge & the things you should avoid when wedding planning.
Inviting everyone you know to your wedding. To start off strong, please don’t invite everyone you know to your wedding, because this could very easily make your wedding budget go out of the door. Invite the people that truly matter to you & want your marriage to flourish!
Getting wrapped up in the trends. Yes, social media is great & a helpful tool to use for new out of the box ideas! However, incorporate the things you value, love, & that have meaning to y’all as a couple, because that’s the whole point, not because it’s aesthetic or cool for Instagram. Plus, if those details have a meaning behind it, it’ll bring you so much joy!
Rush booking your wedding vendors. Don’t be the person who forgets about the important vendors & then books the first person you talk to. You’ll want to do your deep dives & make sure that who you’re hiring for your wedding day is responsible, attentive, & legit! Sometimes booking newer vendors is amazing because they’ll cut you a deal, however sometimes you get what you pay for & sometimes it can be a coin toss.
Letting others dictate your wedding. Don’t let people feel as though they have control of how your wedding looks & what happens on your wedding day. Last time I checked the whole point of a wedding is to celebrate the two people in love that are choosing to come together as one & then celebrating with the newlyweds into the evening/night with food, drinks, & music.
Don’t try to do everything yourself! There’s a reason why wedding planners & coordinators exist, they are there to help you along the process! Because wedding planning can be super stressful & more times than not this is probably the first time you’re doing all of this! If you only have your wedding photographer booked, then ask for their advice! I’m always here to help out my clients & want y’all to pick my brain!
Wedding planning can be stressful & difficult, which in some cases couples decide to just elope instead! At the end of the day DO WHAT MAKES Y’ALL HAPPY!
