Yes! You are finally getting married. The thought of it probably wants to make you explode with joy, and finding the perfect wedding gown would even make it more spectacular.
Making a perfect choice is quite difficult, it is wise not to get too cut up in spending so much money on your wedding gown for it is for only one day. There are options of purchasing a pre-owned wedding gown. These are gowns that were formally used by a bride, you can shop for this on the internet and it is also known to be cheaper. There is another option of renting, seeing a variety of gowns at a bridal shop and there are also virgin gowns for rent these are gowns that have not ever been rented. These ideas are much cheaper than purchasing a new one, with the cost of buying the veil, gown jacket and basket if needed while when renting or purchasing a pre-owned it is giving as part of the package.
You may be a busy woman, but while preparing for your big day it is important to take time off to plan to make that day memorable. Getting a wedding planner isn’t always the answer, with the cost of hiring and the possibility of hiring someone that is inexperienced and also not able to focus on your wedding plans due to having too many clients. In this part of the world, almost anyone can develop their own business. Planning your wedding on your own and a few friends and family members doing some running around will go a long way on saving cost, it will also keep you alert in sensing errors ahead of time. Being your own wedding planner is a beautiful experience, from shopping for invitation cards to catching up on event decorator, to pick that piece of art that will match with your special day and also be within your budget. Let’s not forget the joy of hall hunting, looking for that breathtaking event centre that will make your day even more glamorous. It’s even more special doing it with your partner, planning your wedding is a rewarding way to start a life together.
It is also important to carry your partner along and ask for his opinion before taking any decision, this will give him a sense of belonging. It shouldn’t be just all about you (the bride). Leaving bachelorhood is also a big deal for him. Though this might be tempting, form a habit of avoiding arguments in making decisions. For example, he might like a certain invitation card and you may like another one. Don’t fret. A simple way to solve this is buying half of your type and the other half for his. Compromising is an essential key. Your fiancé will be glad to see you appreciate every penny and effort he contributes in making the event a memorable one.
Wedding planning is also a perfect opportunity to wield your skill as a multitasker. As British psychologist, Keith Laws, affirms, women are better than men at juggling more than one task at a time.
