Concerned about what other people think and expect from YOUR day?
One particularly important rule to remember is the two most important people on your wedding day is the both of you. Everyone attending the big day are close family and friends – your nearest and dearest. They all love and care for you and want what is best for you. After months/years of planning it is crucial that you stop, take a deep breath, and observe every little detail that will make this day a day to reflect and treasure forever. Take time to have time out for the both of you to soak in all the ambience of the venue, all the thoughts and ideas that you collated and envisaged, all the planning, hopes and dreams are finally a reality!
How will the day run smoothly?
With the help and support of the wedding venue, family, and friends. A wedding itinerary is what most couples like to put forward with timings for the day. The venue has the expertise when it comes to running the day, as they hold numerous weddings throughout the year. Always try to consider their ideas combined with yours to offer a balance to the day. Timings are good however not everything runs to plan. Try not to clock watch or panic about this, they are there as a guide not a rule book. You want the atmosphere to feel relaxed and enjoyable, not forced or rushed.
Have we forgotten something?
As the day draws closer couples worry what if we have not got this, should we have got that, what do we need to remember. When the day arrives all the suppliers and operational team will do everything, they make sure it exceeds your expectations. Focus on the positives and excitement of the day rather than looking for things to go wrong. All the preparations are in place and the day will be a memorable, special day with all your guests. Remember to consider the on the day planning service with your planner. We can help to offer help on the day of the wedding ensuring all the ideas from start to finish run like clockwork.
What if the weather is awful?
The weather is something that we cannot plan for and can be very unpredictable. Whatever the weather, come rain or shine the venue will know all the photography highlights for those magical shots. Photographers are always prepared to embrace whatever the weather brings to make sure the photographs are as stunning as ever. This is something out of our control, so it is not worth stressing over as the outcome cannot alter. We always have rainy day options and alternatives, so you cover every eventuality.
I am worried about being the centre of attention.
Some couples love being centre of attention on their big day, others can suffer from anxiety, panic, and fear. Every guest at the wedding loves and cares for you both and will help to ensure that they offer support and encouragement to deal with those feelings. Try to focus on each other, with support, love, and affection to help ease these concerns. It is important not to overthink, take deep breaths, and look forward to the positive, exciting elements of your special day.
