Just want to share with everyone 10 Wedding Mistakes that a bride and groom should never do:
1. Forgetting what the day is really about and losing perspective. It’s only 4-5 hours of your life. Don't let stress get in your way - enjoy and savor t your wedding date!
2. Not involving your significant other in the planning process. Wedding is just a day; marriage is forever - even picking a hotel for the dressing venue, color and flavor of the cake needs decision of the 2 parties involved.
3. Getting intoxicated the night before can seriously take a toll on you. You’re going to be on your feet for hours upon hours the next day – Get your rest. Listen to your coordinators - a day before the wedding should be your REST DAY, your CHILLAX DAY!
4. Being inconsiderate. Asking your guests to wear particular color, bringing this particular gift etc. Let them feel that their presence or them gracing the occasion is the most important thing a newlywed couple can ask for.
5. Not adhering to a budget. Enough said. Please,please do stick to your budget. If you have the money, go for quality and the best suppliers but it doesn't mean that you spend a million for your wedding and that million would be coming from loans, credit cards etc. Do not start your marriage life in debt.
6. Not having a Plan B. What if it rains? Do you have a back-up plan? As I always tell my clients "Think of the worst case scenario..."
7. Not knowing your officiant and your emcee really well. These are the leaders of your ceremony and reception – They should have a clear idea of your expectations. Better to meet them ahead of time; if time doesn't permit at least interview people who've worked with them or talk to them over the phone in that way you'd be able to build rapport at least in a short time with them before the Big Day.
8. Wasting Money. Is it really necessary to get the P5,000 pair of shoes for your day? Figure out what are the most important things to you – and go from there.
9. A lack of personality. Couples would get cupcakes as their souvenirs but don’t put any of their own style and personality into it. Wedding is all about PERSONALITY, reflecting the couple as two different persons uniting as one.
10. Letting the wedding take over your life; and your friends’ lives; and your families’ lives. It’s a large part of your life, but make sure that you don’t lose too much focus over it. It is just a ONE DAY event, yes, it is the beginning of the rest of your lives but don't let that day dominate you, your friends, your families, your perspective, your decisions...
Best,
