Hey all my Perfectly Planned,
So your sister doesn’t like the bridesmaid dresses you have selected, your aunt keeps suggesting décor ideas from the 1980’s that you absolutely hate, and good old dad is holding the purse strings to the family finances and your fiancé is looking at you like you’re the wicked witch of OZ and you wonder why you are stressed to the max!!!!!!!!!
Honey you are on overload and it is time for you to take a deep breath and take control of the chaos that has things spiraling out of order. Don’t be afraid to put your foot down, this is your wedding after all.
1. Ditch anyone who is not supportive. I know it sounds harsh but the truth is that if they aren’t emotionally supporting your decision then they are bringing you down. Sometimes it’s not even worth the time it takes to pour your heart out to someone to express your concerns. After all everyone knows who the focus of the wedding day is on , “The Bride “and after many decades of weddings and trends to come and go that has not changed. Your family needs to support your wishes bottom line!
2. Organize yourself. It is easy to get sidetracked and distracted when you don’t have a plan with your priorities and you don’t have a timeline to accomplish your goals by. If every time Aunt Mary opens her mouth with any type of suggestion for your wedding day you find yourself about to be in the midst of a nervous breakdown, it is because you are not centered and focused on what it is that you actually want. Trust that your family members are just trying to be helpful but it is your responsibility to it is your issue because you’re confused. Get that pen to the paper and write your dreams and wedding day vision into reality.
3. Smile and Enjoy the Ride. Sure anyone that has planned a wedding before can tell you that it is not easy but it most definitely can be and will be one of the most enjoyable projects you will take on in your life if you just stop to smell the coffee. It is so empowering and so self-rewarding to see all of your plans come together, so take one step at a time and enjoy the process of being in control so that you can enjoy seeing your fairytale fall into place one decision at a time.
