Chattanooga Wedding Planning Tip 101: How Close Friends and Family Can Help
Hi CTC Lovies,
We all know that wedding planning can have moments where it can be stressful and things can become overwhelming but we also know with the right help in your corner those worrisome troubles can diminish and planning can be filled with fun.
Many of our brides struggle with figuring out how friends and family can pitch in and help without having them to take over vital elements of the wedding planning and today we want to help you to match your friends and family into the right roles to make planning a breeze without fights and arguments and incorporate fun and excitement for your friends and family.
In my own experience arguments break out in wedding planning with your best friends and parents when you don’t fully take into consideration their strengths and your own needs and desires of what you want for your wedding day. By delegating tasks that your friends and family have no interest in or no experience with, it causes them to sense stress and overwhelm of their own. So let’s keep the vital elements to your vendor team and allow your closest loves to pitch in on the fun. Here are some ways your favorite ladies can help.
- Attendance at the cake and catering tastings. Allow them to do your market research and help you develop the perfect menu for your celebration.
- Dress Shopping . C’mon we all love to shop and what better way to do this than to get all your girl pals together to try on glamorous wedding day attire!
- A trip to the local flower market. Many of our brides aren’t familiar with the names of wedding flowers beyond roses and hydrangea , call up your planner and allow her to get you and your girls access to the wholesale flower market so you can really get a feel for what will be in season for your wedding and what you and your girls love.
- Planning your bridal brunch or bacherlorette party. Your best friends do not want to do this alone. They stress about how it will all come together, the worry about if you will like it and whether or not to get the exotic dancers or keep it low key. Have a girls night in where you plan out the details of these celebrations together for the ultimate pre-wedding celebrations!
I hope you found wedding tip 101 to be just the transparent moment you needed !
