As a bride-to-be, planning a wedding can be stressful and overwhelming. It's easy to get caught up in the details and lose sight of what really matters - marrying the love of your life.
But with a few simple tips, you can become a carefree bride, allowing you and those around you to enjoy the engagement phase to it’s fullest!
1. Hire a wedding planner
Consider hiring a Wedding Planner or Day of Coordinator to handle the logistics and details. This can relieve a lot of stress leading up to and on your wedding day. Hiring a professional will give you more time to focus on the fun parts of your engagement and wedding day. A good Planner or Coordinator will work with you to understand your vision and handle all the details, allowing you to relax and enjoy the process.

2. Plan ahead
Make a detailed timeline for your wedding planning process, including deadlines for each task. This will help you stay organized and on top of all the details, big and small.
We highly encourage our brides to utilize the spreadsheet we give them to keep track of all ideas, vendor contracts, and important details.
3. Delegate tasks
There is absolutely no shame in calling on your people for help! Don't try to do everything yourself - delegate tasks to your bridal party, family members, or trusted friends. Assign specific tasks to each person and have in writing what each person is responsible for. This will help lighten your workload and get all tasks done on time without overwhelming just one or two people.
4. Take breaks
We encourage brides to take breaks and make time for yourself during the wedding planning process. Burnout is no fun! And this phase of the wedding should be so much fun! Small breaks to relax or do something enjoyable should help you refresh.
*Taking breaks is a luxury you may or may not have depending on how long your engagement is.
5. Remember why you're getting married
Above all, remember why you're getting married in the first place - to celebrate your love and commitment to each other! Take care to remember that the most important part about your wedding day is that you honor the Lord. Don’t let stress take your joy away.
By following these simple tips, you can learn how to be a carefree bride and enjoy your wedding planning process fully. Remember to stay organized, delegate tasks, take breaks, and focus on what really matters. Happy planning!
