Wedding Planning.

Okay so as you could tell from my other post I had a VERY hard time planning my wedding even though it was super small. Although I know it's not going to happen, I never want to plan another wedding in my life. I hope Kyle and I will make enough money to hire wedding planners for our children. After the wedding was over, I had never been more relieved in my life. I was so stressed throughout the whole process and I was in school. You know how some brides lose weight because they're so stressed? Well that was me, even though it didn't look like it haha. Everyone told me I lost weight. It was cause of the stress. So a lot of my peers are engaged or dating seriously and I want to give a little wedding advice, so here it goes.

1. Start saving now! Weddings are so expensive. Every time I wrote a check I wanted to throw up because I felt like I was signing my life away. Also everything adds up.

2. Trust your instincts. Once you make a decision on colors and style, don't question it and stick with it. My engagement was only three months and the envision that I had evolved over that short time but everything just came together.

3. Have low expectations. I see all these girls have these elaborate Pinterest boards and Style Me Pretty weddings are like $75,000. Yeah, no thanks.

4. DON'T GO TO DAVID'S BRIDAL. I went there just to get a feel of what I wanted but they were super pushy and overpriced. Also if you're Mormon, they don't have a lot of modest options. So if you're in Utah and not even engaged go to a Alta Moda bridal and buy something on sale. I'm not kidding, I wish I had done that.

5. Don't break the bank with your dress. I know this sounds terrible because its like the most important component of your wedding but you wear it once. I am so glad I paid less for my wedding dress than my senior prom dress. Now I don't have to feel guilty about it when it just sits in my closet. I honestly would've been happy wearing a potato sack. I just wanted to marry Kyle. Although if I had decided to buy a more expensive dress I probably wouldn't have regretted it.

6. Just elope. I never understood why people would want to elope but now I do. It's so much easier because you don't have to deal with all the expenses and family drama. You'd be surprised too at how much your family will support you. Just make sure you have a nice photographer so you can share pictures.

7. Etsy is your best friend. Not a DIY kinda person? Don't worry, you can just buy it off of etsy and voila it's done!

Okay I can't think of anything else, hope this helps. If any of you future brides need help you k ow how to contact me;)
