\"Wedding<\/p>\n

As with any major life event, weddings and the lead up can induce a lot of heightened emotions. Yes, it can be a time of extreme excitement and joy but there can also be stressful aspects to the process.<\/p>\n

I think it is safe to say that most of us can be guilty of a \u201ckeeping up with the Jones\u2019s\u201d way of thinking. There are times when we measure ourselves to other\u2019s expectations or even our own unrealistic standards of perfection. Although I have never been married, I have often thought back to birthdays or big life events and wondered why I put so much pressure on myself for it to be perfect.<\/p>\n

Even more so, weddings can often bring out an envious side in people. \u201cI wish I Had Pinterest to Plan my Wedding\u201d isn\u2019t a popular meme for nothing! So, while we\u2019re not saying that it is petty to become stressed out or jealous of someone else\u2019s day; it is important to keep reality in check. Here are a few ways to over come wedding envy.<\/p>\n

Forget About Trends<\/h2>\n

Instead of thinking and worrying about what\u2019s \u2018in\u2019, think about you and your partner as the theme. What is important is you as a couple \u2013 not the latest in wedding dresses. Use Pinterest, blogs, Facebook, magazines and such for inspiration but remember that you are the theme of the wedding!<\/p>\n

Ask For Help<\/h2>\n

Think about what can do for your day but remember that you can only do so much on your own. 200+ DIY wedding invites may not be realistic with just one person but with the help of your bridal party, it\u2019s amazing what can be achieved!<\/p>\n

Avoid Pinterest<\/h2>\n

If it\u2019s a month to go to the big day or you have managed to tie up most of your loose ends, it\u2019s time to wean yourself Pinterest! Trust us, NO good will come of seeing an amazing d\u00e9cor idea or dress that you can not possibly change so close to the big day. While Pinterest is a great life tool, it\u2019s not worth looking at so close to your wedding. So temporarily delete the app from your phone and move on!<\/p>\n
