They usually tell us weddings are all about the dress; well, guess what - they're not! A wedding gown is just one of the aspects of your wonderful day to come, and you'll get to it in time, no worries. What you need to do now is focus on a bigger picture - go see venues, try samples of wedding cake, think about décor, revive your childhood wedding fantasies, plan out your honeymoon, think about your bachelorette party... Enjoy the planning rather than dread it.
We're giving you a few amazing tips to help you find your wedding style in no time and enjoy every second of the process.
Think outside the boxAll good plans start with an idea, a dream; close your eyes and picture your dream wedding without worrying what your mother would think, how much it'll cost or whether it's possible to pull it off. Relax and fantasize.
What do you see?
Indoors or outdoors?
Destination wedding or home?
Venue or your backyard?
Spring, summer, winter or fall?
Theme or no theme?
If theme, vintage, classic, bohemian, modern, rustic or all-out glam?
Formal or informal?
Once you feel you're done collecting inspiration, narrow in on your style and shape it into a meaningful whole; think of interesting hobbies you and your fiancé have in common, the countries you've seen together (or want to see), places you two hold dear, etc. and turn them into a connective thread of your wedding, a dominant motif.
A word of caution: Don't load up on too many ideas. You don't want your wedding to turn into a circus.
Go quirkyIf you are vegetarian, go for a vegan wedding;
If you like to be spontaneous, put up a photo booth or hire photographers to snap polaroid pics;
If you are into pantomime, hire a professional to entertain the crowd;
Do whatever feels good and right, and don't hold back. Explore your likes and consult with your fiancé on the final choice.
Follow a vibeOnce you've brainstormed through all of your ideas, it's time to you turn them into reality. You can always hire a wedding planner to help your dreams come to life or do it yourself - either way, you'll have the time of your life
