vendor for your big day, don’t feel bad about asking for a detailed contract and specifying what you want. Spend time NOT planning your wedding. It’s easy to want to spend every free moment planning, but if you give yourself time to do other things, you can get inspired and come up with more. Look to get help from people whose style you really admire. Always wondered how and where your favorite bargainista scored her wedding dress? Don’t wonder – reach out. Even if you don’t know her, chances are she’ll be happy to help. Trust the professionals. If you’re someone who feels uncomfortable spending money on yourself, that’s OK. But photos are forever and you don’t want to look back and be horrified at a self tanner nightmare, or a hair dyeing incident gone wrong. It’s your big day so don’t be afraid to splurge on your appearance.
Have fun. Enjoy all there is to do while being engaged: bridal shows, cake tastings, registry parties at department stores. Not only is it fun for you and your fiancé, but there are giveaways and prizes too. Realize there’s no such thing as a perfect wedding. As long as you’re getting married to the one you love, you can’t go wrong!
