A Bride’s Guide to Peaceful Wedding Planning:
Start planning early: Don't leave everything until the last minute. Start planning well in advance so that you have enough time to make decisions without feeling rushed. Ash & Oak provides resources to help you work through the planning process in a timely manner. Resources and Tools
Set a realistic budget: Be honest with yourself about how much you can afford to spend on your wedding. This will help you to avoid overspending and unnecessary stress. Ash & Oak has a budget planning calculator to help you set your spending limits. Plan Your Budget
Prioritize what's important to you: Make a list of the things that are most important to you for your wedding day and focus on those. Don't worry too much about the small details that aren't as important.
Communicate with your partner: Make sure you and your partner are on the same page about your wedding plans. Open communication can help to avoid misunderstandings and arguments.
Delegate tasks: Don't try to do everything yourself. Delegate tasks to trusted family members or friends to help ease the workload and reduce stress.
Take breaks: Take breaks from wedding planning to do things that you enjoy. This can help to relieve stress and keep you motivated.
Practice self-care: Take care of yourself both physically and mentally during the wedding planning process. Eat well, exercise, and make time for relaxation and stress relief activities.
Trust your instincts: Don't second-guess yourself or worry about what others might think. Trust your instincts and make decisions that feel right for you. It’s your wedding after all.
Remember the bigger picture: Don't lose sight of the fact that your wedding day is about celebrating your love and commitment to each other. Focus on the joy and excitement of the occasion. The little things won’t matter in the long run.
Consider hiring a wedding planner: If you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed, consider hiring a wedding planner. A professional planner can help to alleviate stress and make the planning process more enjoyable. Ash & Oak has some preferred vendors for you to consider or bring your own.
