The months leading up to your wedding can be the happiest and the most stressful. There never seems to be enough time no matter how organized you are. Following these top tips will help alleviate and take the stress out of planning your perfect wedding:
1. Attending bridal shows and expos early on in your engagement is a great way to get inspired with new and unique ideas by seeing them first hand.
1. Never underestimate the importance of Research, it’s never too early. Decide on a look and feel for the wedding before you begin booking anything, from venue to vendors and take things slowly so you don't end up making a decision you'll later regret. Keep all of your meetings and consultations in your Appywedding calendar so that you don't miss a single scheduled appointment.
1. A great tip is to book as many services as you can with a single vendor. For example, if your wedding planner or florist offers lighting, rentals and invitations, you can potentially score a big discount for packaging them together, rather than hiring different vendors to execute each element. You also have more room to negotiate. Appywedding has an extensive range of vendors for you to choose from, all in one easy to use and easy to share app!
1. Provide the bridesmaids and groomsmen with a detailed printout of which vendors should be called in case of an emergency or last-minute questions and pre-empt those frantic wedding-morning phone calls while you're trying to get your makeup or hairstyle done in peace
1. If the thought of a huge wedding to do list is just too overwhelming then hiring your very own wedding planner is the answer. Weddings are more of a production than they once were. People are moving away from traditional weddings and are planning more interesting and unique events. Hire a professional, listen to their advice and let them guide you through the process so that you can focus on enjoying your time as an engaged couple and creating a fabulous event that your guests will remember.
