Turn Your Wedding Woes Into Wedding Wows

When you dream about your future wedding, what do you see? You probably have a very beautiful, specific scene in mind and you don’t want anything to throw off what you’ve probably been planning in your head since you were nine years old. Unfortunately, though, things do go wrong on the big day. People don’t show up, there are issues with the venues and then there are the outfits that everyone will be wearing.

Luckily, there are some simple steps you can take to make sure that the worst wedding disasters can be completely avoided for your big day.

When It Rains, It Pours

You’re not alone if your dream wedding involves some beautiful outdoor activities. Perhaps, you fell in love with the venue you choose due to the beautiful stretch of vibrant green grass outside the front doors that you knew would be perfect for wedding pictures.

As it turns out though, on the actual day, it’s pouring with rain, and that beautiful stretch is now a soggy, muddy, disaster zone. This highlights the importance of having contingency plans in case of bad weather or other problems that are completely beyond your control.

You might even want to have backup people ready to step in at a moment's notice. If you are having your wedding church ordained, you have to take into account that the priest or minister could fall ill on your special day. To plan for this, you can get one of your friend ordained online to step in if the minister is a no show.

Don’t Trust The Groom

Here’s a little tip for all the soon to be brides out there. Most guys don’t like weddings, and they definitely don’t like the planning leading up to the big day. That’s why they’ll leave most of the decisions up to you. You should be careful about how much freedom you give them and responsibilities they have over the areas of the wedding that affect them.

You probably won’t be in charge of choosing their suit but you might want to nudge them in the right direction. Otherwise, you could end up with a groom who shows up in a suit that isn’t properly fitted and that can look terrible next to your beautiful designer dress. Instead, you should make sure they look at bespoke suits from a tailor and let them choose one from a list that has been selected by you.

You might think this is the definition of a bridezilla, but it really isn’t. It’s just the only way to make sure you don’t end up standing next to someone who looks like they just picked up a suit from a bargain bin.

Give Yourself A Year At Least

When he asks the question, and you say yes, a million times yes, a small part of your mind will be wondering how fast you can get this show on the road. Weddings are fun and arguably one of the best days of your life, so it makes sense you won’t want to wait. But you should fight this urge because a truly spectacular wedding requires at least a year of planning. Rushing it will lead to all sorts of disasters, and ultimately it could bring your dream of the perfect wedding crashing down. Take your time, find the perfect venue and plan everything to a tee.

If you do this, you will be rewarding your past self, making sure all her romantic ideas come true.
