Tips and Advice on How to Plan the Perfect Wedding

So it is your big day, ten minutes to go before you take the plunge. You look around and only one word sums up the experience in your mind: Disaster. The cake is stale, the photographer is MIA, and your florist doesn’t seem to know what a stephanotis is. Where did it all go so wrong?

…And then you wake up from the nightmare. As you wipe the cold sweat from your forehead you realize that you still have six months to set things right (and get rid of that shady flower peddler). The perfect wedding is still in sight, but it will take some planning. But just what does that involve?

When you find a blog you like, be sure to subscribe or, if it is on Facebook, become a fan.

Just be sure to become a subscriber of this blog first though, since I gave you the idea and all. Actually, with all the wedding planning tips you are getting, you really sort of owe me that at this point. Just saying…
Plan Early, Plan Often

Probably the most obvious tip, and yet the most important, is to plan early. Give yourself some time to set everything up. Last minute planning forces you to compromise and make important decisions, like which vendor to go with, based on a deadline instead of based on your feelings on the matter. Simply put, the more time you have left until the wedding, the more time you have to find the photographer who fits your budget.

Check lists are fun! Well not really, but they are still very helpful tools. More than a simple to do list, a check list is a time line that can show you not only what needs to be done but when it should be done by. In this way, a good check list can help keep you on track as you approach your big date. Luckily, the Internet once again is there to help you out on this one.
