Planning your wedding is one of the most stressful events you will ever organise in your life!

In an ideal world, your wedding planning experience would be blissful; picking out the perfect, princess ballgown, sipping on afternoon tea as you try wedding cake and strolling through a rose garden at an impeccable venue. But far too often, the stresses of money, organisation and minor mishaps can stop you soaking up every part of the planning process.

With April being Stress Awareness Month, what better time to talk you through some of the ways to take the stress out of your wedding planning then now.

Here are some of Island Stories’ top tips:

Accept help from others – It may be your special day but there is no harm in asking for help from others to make the whole experience less stressful.

By accepting help from friends, family or even an event organiser it will free up time for you to enjoy the wedding process. This will also help the wedding day itself to run more smoothly, letting you soak in the romance and happiness that a wedding day should provide.

Stay within your budget – Weddings are expensive and the last thing you need at the end of that one special day is to be left with huge bills that you simply cannot afford.

Choose suppliers that will work with your budget in mind and won’t exceed it or push you to spend more than you are willing to. Use a budget to help you see where the money is being spent and how much you have left for extras that you might not have originally planned for.

Use professionals you can trust – Each and every supplier you choose from the flowers, to the food, and even the DJ, will need to be companies that you trust to provide the best quality and reliable services for your special day.

Take your time to research each and every service you need so that you select the right suppliers for you. Choose professionals that will listen to what you want and work with you.
