So, you’ve decided to tie the knot – congratulations! Now comes the wedding planning. This can often be super stressful, but it doesn’t have to be! Follow these simple steps on how you can achieve the wedding of your dreams, without the stress.

Plan, Plan, Plan!

One of the best things you can do to avoid unnecessary stress is to plan as much as you can. Sit down with your fiancé and discuss the important stuff – the guest list, the budget, the theme, making sure you’re both on the same page. Consider making a scrapbook. Take a look on Pinterest for photos that inspire you, or ideas you can steal, and make a collection. Sit down with your gals and a bottle of wine or two, and plan ideas with them. But remember, this is your wedding so don’t feel pressured into agreeing with anything you’re not happy with.
