Planning a wedding is exciting, but overwhelming. It’s easy to let the big event overtake your whole life- but there are ways to stay calm and take it one step at a time. Let’s learn some successful strategies for making wedding planning manageable.
- Have perspective: Any large undertaking can seem insurmountable. It’s important to put things in perspective. Planning a wedding is akin to eating a life size chocolate elephant. You need to do it in pieces, and a little at a time or you’ll feel very uneasy in your stomach.

Designing the event will be oodles of fun. For the places you’re dreading, don’t force yourself to slog through – recruit help, professional or friends and family.
- Don’t rush it: We get it. You’re in love, and don’t want to wait around. But Rome wasn’t built in a day! Rushing through details will cause details to be overlooked, details that properly looked after, could be the moments that mean the most to you and your intended.
Being engaged is a joyous time – make sure you breathe and savor the interlude! Once the streamers are tossed and the DJ has packed up her records, chances are you’ll remember the process as much as the day itself. Enjoy the journey.
Be well, and love well.
