When you first start planning your wedding, you’ll find yourself feeling extra excited and elated. But when the real work begins and you dive into all the details and many things you need to accomplish, you can end up feeling the weight of it all of a sudden. When this happens, wedding planning tends to become stressful, especially if you don’t pull yourself out of the constant anxiety.
Even if wedding planning is a very daunting task and the journey is never easy, it’s something that you can enjoy with your partner. The key to rising above everything weighing you down is by shifting your perspective and finding ways to make the journey something you can cherish instead of fear or worry about excessively. Here are some things you can try out.
(1) Break down your checklists and timelines.
If looking at the long list of things to do overwhelms you, try breaking it down in stages or milestones so that you can focus on a shorter list of things to do. This way, getting things done won’t be so daunting. Your wedding timeline is usually broken down already: 12 months before the wedding, 9 months before, 6 months before, and so on. You can take it from here.

(2) When you’ve decided on your wedding theme, stop looking around.
Brides tend to second guess themselves when they don’t stop looking around and comparing once the wedding theme is set. This can lead to unnecessary changes or time wasted on attempts to “just see” if this or what will work better, only to find out that the original plan is still THE plan. Once you’ve put your mood board in place, focus on that and only that.

(3) Always strive to stay true to your love and your interests.
Yes, it’s true that unique weddings turn into memorable ones, but sometimes couples get too caught up and stressed with trying to make their celebration extra special or unique by doing everything or anything they seems different or extraordinary. Did it ever occur to you that what can make your union extra memorable and unique is if it’s a true and genuine reflection of you, your love, and your shared interests? Don’t lose yourselves in trying to have an extra unique wedding.
