Regardless of when or where you get married, your wedding day will be one of the most magical moments of your lives. After all, what’s more magical than a celebration of love? Nonetheless, just a little extra effort on your part will prevent some simple wedding blunders and ensure your day exceeds even your wildest dreams.
In truth, avoiding the negatives is just as crucial as embracing the positives. Keep an eye out for these four mistakes, and you won’t go wrong.
“We Don’t Need Anything Special”
Ok, some couples are happy to have a modest wedding. But even a modest, minimalist style wedding shouldn’t feel like little more than the signing of a document. While you may opt for a registry office or understated venue, there are some items that every couple deserves.
Think about the different wedding elements and choose 2 -3 that are the most important to you. Is it a stunning wedding cake? Amazing flowers? Beautiful rings and outfits? Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even “nothing fancy” can be special.
You don’t have to break the bank or go deep in debt, but if funds are a little short, guarantor wedding loans can allow you to have the things you want.
Just be realistic about how much you can comfortably borrow and pay off. You don’t want to look back with any regrets, either by skipping something you’d really love to have for your wedding, or by having to pay for years.
So, while you may not need anything fancy, you certainly want the day to be special.
“Those Memories Will Last A Lifetime”
While this statement isn’t incorrect, it should not be an excuse to skip having a professional videographer. They are far more affordable than ever before, and having a recording of your big day on film is something that will make the magic last forever. You can reminisce for years to come, especially on anniversaries. And having this type of heirloom for your children or grandchildren is priceless.
A don’t skimp on a professional photographer. A few disposable cameras and a Snapchat filter will encourage guests to take and share snaps. But don’t rely on them for all your wedding photos (especially the key moments that can’t be missed!). Your wedding photographer will provide a variety of photos to help keep your memories vivid, and help you see things that you missed on the day.
“It’ll All Run Smoothly”
Every couple wants to think that their big day will pass by without any hiccups. And we want that to happen for you too.
Unfortunately, this is real life. There are far too many working parts to assume that something won’t go wrong. Luckily, most of these “problems” are minor and won’t really affect your wedding. But, it’s still a good idea to take some precautionary measures to ensure those issues are avoided.
For example:
• Being prepared for all weather types is crucial. Have a ‘Plan B’ in place in case of inclement weather.
• Do a trial run for your hair and makeup before the big day.
• It’s possible that some of your guests may not like each other. Building your seating plans around this factor is critical.
Having a coordinator on hand for your wedding day will also help avoid any potential problems.
“It’s All About The Bride And Groom”
The newlyweds are the most important people on any wedding day, no doubt about it, and this should not be forgotten for a second. Nonetheless, you are sharing this magical moment with your loved ones. That’s one of the best things about getting married. Don’t let this factor go unappreciated for a second.
Ensuring that your guests have a memorable day will actively enhance your day too. After all, happiness breeds happiness. You’ll already be on cloud nine after saying “I do”. Seeing your nearest and dearest having a great time will simply add to the happiness and fun.
Make it the special day for everyone, and your wedding day will be looked back on fondly by all you shared it with.
