Avoiding Stress On Your Wedding Day

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Mr perfect romantically proposes, you say yes! You gleefully tell family and friends, you proudly set the date, life is perfection... and then comes the wedding planning, the juggling of your money and time, having to plough through endless to do lists, rising above interfering friends and family and resisting the will to just 'give up' when your caterer casually cancels two weeks before the date.

Miraculously you kept on track, you kept your sanity and the day is set to be perfect! But what's that? The niggling anxiety that surely something will go wrong, something will be forgotten, broken - disaster will strike! Never fear, we have a few answers to the most common worries and problems a bride faces.

The NO-show -Will he be waiting for me at the alter? - Of course, relax, he was the one to ask you after all, even with those little not so subtle hints he still made the executive decision to ask you all by himself! Plus he hasn't headed for the hills yet- he has stuck around for the planning of the day itself when yes maybe once or twice bridezilla threw a tantrum or two. He's in for the long haul and cannot wait to make you his wife!

*We definitely recommend that you put you foot down and not let his best mate whisk the stags off too near the wedding, a hung-over groom or a groom in another country would be what we consider a match to a flame.

Your bridesmaids - your best friends, they are your support team, they are your rocks and you can count on them to take on any problems on your behalf, use them, keep them focused (and never more drunk than yourself).

* Give your most trusted bridesmaid an emergency kit to keep in their bag, a treasure trove of bits and pieces to combat any problems that arise; nail varnish to double combat chipped nails and ladders in stockings! Hairspray to keep your locks looking no less than model perfection, a little sewing kit to tackle any rips or tears, wipes to remove any stains, makeup for touch ups and perfume to keep you smelling fresh.

Good company - you have a great group of friends, family you cant choose, but hopefully they will be equally as fantastic, they are here to help you celebrate, so Surround yourself with them and avoid those who are likely to be negative, profit from all of the details that you put into place during your planning. Mingle, re-connect with relatives, enjoy being newly wed, laugh at the best mans speech, be your parents pride and joy, enjoy your meal, drink your bubbly, dance at your party and enjoy the simple fact that all of your hard work has paid off, the day was a success.

The after thoughts-

You did it, you planned a wedding, had a wedding and come out of the other side smiling, your wedding was a success, but now what will you do? You dedicated so much time into planning the thing you felt like it was your second job, well never fear its not all over just yet...you can focus on your new life as a Mrs, open all of those generous presents, write thank you cards, honeymoon, fill out name change forms, organise wedding albums... Oh will it never end?

Pre-Bridal Photography Ideas

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Weddings are well known to be quite stressful. From when you wake up to when you crash down asleep you would have been on the go all day long.

You should not have a care in the world on your special day. It should be a relaxing and special day.

You will be run off your feet on your wedding day no matter how well you plan your day. But the better you plan then the better your experience will be.

Your wedding day will be full for sure but stress can be avoided as long as you get lots of support and plan well. Remember your wedding professionals are there to take the stress from you and if have planned well a few of your close friends will be there to catch any problems for you and solve them.

Ten years ago Pre-Wedding photography started to become very popular in Singapore. The reason was that many couples simply found that their actual wedding day was too stressful and way too full.

Smart photographers started offering pre-wedding packages so that all the stress could be taken out of the actual day. So with pre-bridal photography there was no longer any need to rush around to get all the pics taken. It also removed the risk of the special day pics being totally destroyed by bad weather as well.

Pre wedding packages vary from photographer to photographer so you will have to shop around. Most packages will include outdoor as well as studio shots. Getting a variety of shots will guarantee an interesting album. Ask your photographer what is included in their packages.

As well as ensuring you get a great set of photographs for your album, pre-wedding photos mean that you have something special to show at your actual wedding to your guests, which is always nice.

Pre-wedding photography is catching on around the world now. It may not be called pre-bridal in other countries but the idea still exists. If your photographer has not suggested doing a pre-wedding shoot then ask them for a price as part of the overall wedding package. Booking the two together - pre and actual day photography will save you money for sure and will allow you to bargain a little.
