Discuss The Details In Advance

You might want to go with a blue theme but your spouse-to-be wants gold. Find a mid-way where you both agree as it’s 50-50! Be it the smallest of details, it’s important that you both take a combined call on how you want your wedding day to look like. Be it decor or guest list, when you both peacefully decide, you will notice that it’s not what you choose but how you chose it that matters the more.
Don’t Lessen The Romance

At the end of the day, it is all about love. So don’t forget to have some intimate time with each other where it’s just the two of you. Physical or emotional, express love and gratitude to your partner and remember to seize the day no matter how much you have on your plate. Intimacy makes you relaxed and who doesn’t love to have some surprise kisses, yeah!
No Last Minute Surprises

Surprises are tricky, but who doesn’t like a happy one? When it comes to weddings, surprises don’t usually work out in a positive way. Being realistic, brides picture every single detail of their wedding day way in advance. So if there’s any surprise entertainment or a new ritual that is kept as a surprise, may not work well with the overall scheme of plans. Surprises are tricky, hence it becomes important to gauge your partner’s likes and dislikes and take a non-risky decision at the end of the day.
Practice Non-Perfectionism

It is totally okay if one of fancy China gets broken or your aunt did not make it for rehearsal dinner on time. Let it come, let it go. Life is unpredictable and we cannot control everything that happens around us. The best thing we can do is let it happen and believe that everything happens for good. The wedding day is about living each and every second with your partner. Everything else can settle itself down.
Unplug From The Wedding Planning

Yes, the numero uno thing in your life is to design the perfect wedding day, but excess of everything can be a bit tad overwhelming to handle. Amidst all the wedding planning, take some time apart be it for an hour to two to focus on other things that will recharge your mind to get some fresh ideas.
We hope that these tips will cut out your stress and let you enjoy the planning process. As they say, it’s not the destination that is important, it is the journey…
