Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Start with a clear vision—what’s most important to you? Prioritize the big things like venue and guest list first, and don’t sweat the small stuff. Delegate tasks to trusted friends, invest in a great wedding planner (hint, hint), and remember that perfection is overrated. Your wedding should be about celebrating love, not about stressing over centerpieces.
Another key tip? Set realistic timelines. Break your planning process into phases: securing the venue, booking vendors, choosing outfits, finalizing details, and then the finishing touches. That way, you avoid the last-minute rush. Also, embrace flexibility—sometimes things don’t go exactly as planned, but that doesn’t mean your day won’t be absolutely beautiful.

Budgeting is another major stressor, so tackle it early. Be upfront about how much you’re willing to spend and stick to it. A great wedding planner can help you allocate funds wisely, ensuring you get the most out of your budget while avoiding unnecessary expenses.
And most importantly, don't forget about self-care. Wedding planning can take over your life if you let it, but taking breaks, scheduling date nights, and remembering why you’re getting married in the first place will keep things in perspective. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment—enjoy the ride!
