Real Deal Fact #1
Planning a wedding can be extremely stressful. There’s no other
period in your life where the expenditure of time, money, and emotions churn
together to create a perfect storm as much as when you’re trying to create The
Most Important Day of Your Life!
SMART wedding planning
includes the Three Cs of what it really takes to produce the wedding you
want: Communication, Comprehension, and Calculation. You will need to:
- Communicate
with
your family and partner, as well as your vendors.
- Comprehend
what
it takes to produce the wedding you envision.
- Calculate
the
real cost of your wedding.
Almost from the moment you announce, “We’re
engaged!” the tension starts to mount. Within days (or hours), the questions
start coming: When’s the date? What’s your color scheme? Do you have a
venue/photographer/dress?
Your stress level rises as to-do lists swirling
in your head. Your first instinct might be to try to get a head start by making
appointments to try on dresses or visit venues. Our advice? The first thing you
should do is press pause.
Wedding planning requires you to look at the
big picture. Every decision you make, from the venue you choose to the size of
your guest list to the number of bridesmaids, will affect other decisions down
the road. This road may be new to you, and it’s difficult to know what lies
ahead, so it’s important to take your time and plan your journey.
Real Deal Fact #2
If you’re going to have the wedding you envision, then shopping
for your dress or finding your venue is not step one. These are all exciting
and important aspects of planning but prioritizing, budgeting, and research
need to be done before those steps are started.
