When it comes to wedding planning, it can be so easy to fall under the typical traps and get distracted. We think, if you can plan a wedding smoothly without a hitch, you can pretty much do anything. Here are some wedding planning mishaps to avoid.
Blowing your Fashion Budget on The Wedding Dress
Okay, so maybe you have about €2,000 set aside for your look. That doesn’t actually mean you can go off and buy a €2,000 dress. Remember shipping and tax if you’re buying it in another country, fitting costs, undergarments, shoes, veils, jewelry and a lot more is involved in the fashion budget too!
Getting too Attached to “Your Vision”
Did you pick orchids as a wedding flower and it turns out they’re not in season? When you book your florist a year before the big day, they can only guess which blooms will be available to you then. Think more in terms of colour choices rather than specific flowers.
Sending out Invites too Early
It may feel a bit tempting to want to get rid of those invites as soon as possible. That way you’re guests will be well informed! Wait until you have confirmed your guest list before you jump the gun. Close work colleagues or friends may be on the list when he popped the question, but by the time you get hitched, you may end up being acquaintances. Reserve your save the dates for guests you will definitely be there, like family.
