From shopping for your dream wedding dress to celebrate with your loved ones, getting engaged is one of the most wonderful and exciting things that can happen in your life. However, planning your wedding day can be an incredibly stressful endeavor, as there are simply too many details to organize and last-minute setbacks you couldn’t possibly count on. If you want to avoid those wedding day stresses and ensure your celebration goes perfectly, here are some tips that will help you achieve just that:

Too many brides make the mistake of waiting until the last minute to try their dress on, only to realize that the alterations weren’t completed or that their wedding dress simply doesn’t fit as well as it should. To avoid such a big problem and additional stress on your wedding day, make sure that the dress is finished, fitting, and exactly as you imagined it to be at least one week before the big day. As most high heels are a bit uncomfortable when you first buy them, it would also be a good idea to break in your shoes before your wedding day, to avoid any pain and discomfort during your lovely celebration.
Be realistic with your schedule:
Although it might be tempting to plan out your big day to the tiniest detail, your schedule might not be all that realistic when the wedding day actually comes. And if you have too many activities planned, you won’t have any time left to enjoy those little once-in-a-lifetime moments that happen in between. While it’s necessary to construct a general outline for the whole day, and inform your guests, don’t overschedule anything else. Space out your hair and makeup appointments in the morning, so you don’t have to rush around town, and keep the rest of your schedule clear. At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter if the speeches stretch 15 minutes longer, or if your first dance isn’t at exactly 8pm – spontaneity is what makes those special moments truly unforgettable.

Choose a great photographer
Photography is one of the top priorities for many brides today, and for a good reason. Those little moments of pure love and joy you experience at your wedding should be cherished forever. That is why it’s essential to find a professional photography studio, such as the talented Ateia Photography, which will not only provide you with the most stunning artistic photos but also be able to capture those heartwarming interactions between you and your loved ones. Knowing exactly where to be and what to shoot at the ideal time, a great professional photographer will cater to your every need, and ensure you get the results you’ve always dreamed of.

Hire a wedding day coordinator
Even though you might be perfectly capable of organizing your wedding day by yourself, why should you? You are supposed to be a guest at your wedding, not a member of the staff. So, if you’re able to hire someone to handle the last-minute details on the big day, it will help you alleviate a lot of pressure and unnecessary stress. A wedding coordinator can take care of anything from flowers and final decor details to organizing vendors and making sure your wedding day goes as smoothly as possible. Even if there are no problems and setbacks during the celebration, simply having a professional near will help keep your stress levels at a minimum.

Whether you aren’t able to hire a wedding coordinator or you simply need some extra help during your big day, don’t be afraid to ask your bridesmaids or your maid of honor for some assistance. From grabbing you a quick bite to eat or bringing you a drink when you need it to fix your dress and even gathering all of your family members for a group photo, your girls can be of big help on your wedding day. So make sure you have a designated person who can take care of any last-minute details, and be the go-to person for any questions and assistance, in order to alleviate some of the stress and worries of your big day.
After all, the most important thing is to simply relax and have fun. A wedding is a special celebration of the love you and your partner have for each other, so don’t forget to smile, laugh, kiss, hug, and enjoy this wonderful celebration as much as you can.
