She was really upset because her dress did not come out to be the way she had planned…..she clearly instructed adding tiny white pearls on the dress over the lace around her neck and adding more flare to the dress tail.
The designer instead added tiny silver stones, and let alone the tail flare……Her dress fitting was loose from the torso as if the dress was one size bigger…...the dress reached the last minute, so she had no options to abandon it and try another one.
She looked in the mirror wearing her wedding dress, ready to leave for the venue, and said to herself…..." I don't look like a princess; my dress is ruined"!
She walked down the aisle with her father holding her hand firmly but couldn't find anyone to shower with flowers with while she was walking.
She looks through her white net veil….. searching for her bride's maid, to give her a signal to call the girls who were supposed to shower the flowers!
Her father is heading towards the groom with her; she looks through the veil up again and feels shattered! She had planned white and pink roses floral decoration for the stage, and all she saw were dark red roses. "My theme is ruined; my big day is ruined!"…..she shouts in her mind……!

1.Allocate Your Budget Wisely
The most crucial part of the wedding event is "Your Budget." Weddings should not be an event that makes you spend even the last penny you possess. It is more like spending a portion of your savings to make this event memorable, celebrated with your partner and loved ones. Because we believe a couple has a life ahead that needs to be enjoyed ahead, and financial burden can ruin things pretty much.

It is more like spending a portion of your savings to make this event memorable, celebrated with your partner and loved ones. Because we believe a couple has a life ahead that needs to be enjoyed ahead, and financial burden can ruin things pretty much.
Here is how you can do it:
Never spend all your savings
Never borrow money for your wedding
Try to make things work by eliminating stuff that is less important to you
Allocate budget smartly, for example; assign a limit of spending for each service you need
Always keep a cushion for over exceeding any budget limit because things can turn out unexpected sometimes
2. Research & Meet Service Providers in Person
A wedding ceremony is just like a beautiful dream to a couple; to make that dream true, you may need to hire people and services who can visualize the whole event. Always do your research before hiring professionals. That way you can find better rates with luxurious services. It is always good to meet your service providers in person to know if they can visualize the idea you want to be implemented.
Never go with opinionated service providers; instead, find those who respect your preferences and work hard to create exactly what you desire. Meeting them can give you a clue on how passionate they are to put your "Dream Wedding" into a beautiful reality.
3. Trim your Guest List
Inviting guests over a wedding reception or a bridal party is a good idea to celebrate your happiest moments of life. However, you need to understand the difference between "loved ones" and "acquaintances." You need to understand that the major chunk of the budget spent on weddings is the "food." More guests mean more food, therefore as per professional experience, it is best to invite more closed ones.
Inviting people over to your wedding who barely know you will be a burden on your pocket. Avoid inviting people from the office unless they are very close friends with you.
The best way to trim down your list is, first create a list of guests, asking yourself the following question:
When you think about your wedding day, whom do you imagine being there?
These all tips above will pretty much help you with trimming your guest list.
4. Make a list of Things To Do
Make a journal when you start planning for your wedding. You might have planned so many activities to include in your wedding event. Moreover, make a list of service providers you would be needed, such as;
Dress Maker
Food
Salon
Photography
Wedding Consultant etc
For each service, you can assign a page on your journal to record and note down your progress for this particular service provider hiring. For example, during your research, you can mention the contact details and call them at a suitable time for a meeting. You can also not down the comments so that it gets a lot easier when it's time to make the final decision. Because we do understand that planning a wedding is a hectic task to do, and may become forgetful due to all the stress and work you might need to do.
Once you hire a professional for a particular service, you can tick the same service from the list you had made earlier. That way, you can overview what is done and what still needs to be done.
5. Save from DIY
If you are a crafty person, you can prepare many things on your own and avoid buying expensive props, decorations, photo booths, flower baskets, etc., for the event. Even if you are not crafty, you can check with your close ones to help you with your DIY projects for the wedding. So never hesitate to take help from your best friend, siblings, or aunt to create some gorgeous creative stuff. It is not just budget-friendly but also helps in making the event unique, wonderful, and memorable.
6. Make it a Memorable Day of Your Life
This is your event; try to make it as memorable as you can. Do the things that make you feel special. Plan if there is anything on your mind for a particular time at the event. That way, you will have plenty of time to decide how to do it the best way you can.
For example, if you want to walk across the aisle with your girls showering flowers over you, or you want a photograph done near the beach, or maybe want to have a party with your friends before the big day. Whatever makes your day special should be included in the list!
7. Keep your Partner Involved
Wedding planning is not gender-specific; you should keep your partner involved anyway. Although you might have the authority to make all the decisions, it is always good to take your partner's opinion. Because it is equally their "Big Day" too, they, too, may have several things planned in their mind for their wedding day.
Whether buying a dress or booking the venue, it is always good to consult with your partner and ask if they have any preferences. That way, the couple can be on the same page, and none of them will feel left out.
8. Don't bother. "What will people say?"
We live in a world where the opinion of people is given more importance than our own choices. The best tip for wedding planning is to block your mind from the world and think of yourself and your partner. Never do something unimportant to you, and you are doing it just for the sake of people. Remember one thing, it's YOUR big day, and you are in-charge of it!
This will not just save you money, but give peace of mind, and also make you feel special.
9. Don't Overstress on Small Things.
As wedding professionals, we completely understand the stress, nervousness, and excitement all mixed for the big day can give you anxiety. Sometimes small things can trigger the stress you may have been going through for weeks and months of planning. It is good to keep yourself calm and save the energy to enjoy the moments of your big day.
Because why would you pay a hefty amount for an event that is controlled by professional opinions? It is your big day, and you are in in-charge of it! It is one of the significant events of your life; you better take it seriously and only hire those who respect your preferences.
