Wedding Planning and Coordination

Congratulations, she said yes!

Here are a few steps to help you get to the altar without loosing your mind.

1. Set your budget. Sit down with your fiance and determine what you are going to be able to afford and if your families are planning on helping. Once you decide on a budget, don't deviate from it. You don't want to start your new life as a married couple in debt.

2. Determine your priorities. Discuss what the most important aspect of the wedding is to you and to your fiance. This will help in finding areas you may be able to save money and where you may want to splurge.

3. Choose your team. Decide who will be in your wedding party. They will be your support team until you are at the altar and ready to say I Do. Pick people who will be supportive and help when you need it.

4.Take control of you attire and your groomsmen. It's not just important for the bride to look good, you want to stun her with your style when she sees you for the first time that day. Coordinate the details of fittings with your groomsmen to make sure they look almost as sharp as you do ;).

5. Be understanding. Planning a wedding can be very stressful. Set aside a night just for you and her with no wedding talk. Spend time together to remind each other why you decided to get married in the first place. You will be amazed how much 1 night off can renew a stressed bride.

6. If the stress becomes to much, step in and suggest consulting a professional. It may be a great help to hire someone for day of coordination or to help put the finishing touches on the plans that have been started.

7. Help plan the honeymoon. You will be on this trip too so give you input on where you would like to go. To get the best prices plan well in advance and look for air/hotel packages.

8. Sign up for dance lessons. You will get big points for this one! This will be your first dance as husband and wife, you don't want to look foolish. The lessons will not be as painful as you think, you might actually have fun.

9. Enjoy your engagement.Help your fiance as much as you can and remember you are planning a special day to start your life as husband and wife. Take time to enjoy the details, don't stress over the little things. This is all getting you to your wedding day where you will marry your best friend.

Love and Happiness,

Morgan
