Every couple wants their wedding to go as planned. From getting an event planner to ensuring everything goes well at the venue to managing your budget and cutting drama, couples have lots of things running through their mind on their D-day. It is not easy to remember all details as they walk down the aisle.
No bride and groom want to make wedding planning mistakes. This can be achieved by planning in advance and doing as much research. When the intending couple is armed with all the right knowledge, it would be easy for them to iron out all details of their wedding.
To save couples stress, we have listed some common wedding planning mistakes to avoid:
1. Late booking
Professional wedding planners advise booking a venue and vendors as early as possible for wedding plans to run smoothly. Late bookings mean you would rush everything and run into issues with your vendors.
2. No backup plan
Professional wedding planners advise that anybody planning a wedding should have a backup plan. Couples should be prepared for unforeseen circumstances like unstable weather conditions to last-minute vendor cancellations. Having a plan B would save the couple from the stress and all the havoc that can spoil their D-day.
3. Hiring amateurs
Some couples may feel sceptical about hiring professionals to handle their wedding because of it is cost intensive. This is even more cost-intensive when closely looked at. Enlisting the help of a wedding industry expert could mean that you will get the best prices, access to hard-to-book vendors and venues, and expert tips from those who know the industry better than anyone.
4. Having no budget
Setting a budget is important in the wedding planning process. It will help you track your spending and know what you can afford. Your wedding budget affects every single element of the big day, from the guest count to the venue, from the food and drinks to the decorations.
5. Having options for wardrobe malfunctions
You never can tell. It is good to have options in case wardrobe malfunctions happen. You don’t want to be the bride or groom with the loose zip or a broken shoe sole, when you have alternatives, you can wear another outfit or shoe and shake off any embarrassment.
