I thought it would be a great idea to have some of our current and past brides share some perspective on what it is like to plan a wedding. I asked our most recent bride, Nikki, to share a little about her experiences. Thanks for sharing this with us Nikki and enjoy your honeymoon!
You can see photos and a review of her lovely wedding here.
Our Planning Experience
I’m a very organized person and I like to do things myself. I have a difficult time delegating projects. I would advise any bride to relax and enjoy the planning and the big day. It all goes by so fast and before you know it, you are saying your goodbyes at the end of the reception. The wedding planning was stressful at times and yes, some things did stray from original plans, but that’s OK, everything worked out and it was perfect. Plans may change and things may go wrong, but ultimately everything will come together beautifully.
My advice:
1. Be flexible
2. Be organized
3. Make decisions carefully
4. Delegate projects – no bride can do it all by herself!
5. Take advantage for wedding sites such as theknot.com, theweddingchannel.com, weddingwire.com, etc. – they have great tips, ideas, and advice.
6. If you like this sort of thing, create a wedding website for your friends and family to view pre-wedding and post-wedding – it really does help keep those that live out of state updated and informed about wedding details and it’s fun for everyone.
7. Relax the day of the wedding – everything will fall into place
8. Trust your friends, family and vendors – they are all there for you
9. Remember to stop and breathe during the stressful moments
10. Have fun and enjoy the whole wedding experience

What a great post, and good idea…I love the advice she gave, I think it’s great for brides reading to actually read advice from newlyweds and other brides.
Have a fabulous day!
