Q&A
You’re too cute to be stressed! 5 tips for when wedding planning starts to become too much.
Have a date night planning free.
Think Big Picture. In the end, the purpose of your wedding isn’t the wedding itself, it’s about marrying your person!
Schedule some time with your honey, completely separate from wedding planning. Quality time with your partner can relieve stress, and remind you both why you’re getting married!
Don’t get stuck on Pinterest. Inspiration is so great, but when you get stuck scrolling, it’s hard not to compare. Your wedding is just that - YOURS! It doesn’t need to look like the weddings you see online to be beautiful.
It’s ok to ask for help.
Hire a planner. We’re a little biased, but it’s true! Whether it’s full-service, partial, or day-of coordination, your wedding planner can help take the stress off of you, your partner, and your family during the planning process and on your big day!
Don’t feel like you have to plan everything yourself! Chances are, you have family members and friends who would love to help you and take something off your plate during your engagement season.
