De Stress Your Wedding Planning

Planning your wedding will be one of the most exciting times of your life, but there’s no doubt it can be stressful too. Here are 3 tips to de stress your wedding planning!

DIY Where You Can

DIY doesn’t sound so crazy these days, with some brides taking DIY and thrift shopping to a whole new level! It can be a relaxing outlet for your wedding planning, but we do recommend you allow a lot of time. No one wants to be paint mason jars in the week before their wedding!

Down Time

Wedding planning has a way of taking over every conversation. Make a “date night” every so often where wedding talk is banned. Remember – it’s a marriage as well as a wedding!

Decide What You Can Spend

Weddings are expensive and can put financial pressure on couples. Calculate what you can afford based on your earnings, savings, family contributions etc. This will give you a clearer picture of the kind of wedding you can afford. Ask yourself the right questions about your wedding budget to avoid running out of money half way through your planning. Knowing what you are spending on everything will give you an ease of mind too!
