advice to bride-to-be

Memories come flashing back circa 2005. Planning for my wedding.(sigh). I chance upon my friend doing her shortlist on floral arrangements and table settings for her upcoming wedding. I was excited to share my opinion on what I think is nice and what’s not. I also searched for the flower that my friend used on her wedding as her bouquet. I ended up texting her to know the name ( its snap dragon by the way). I also recommended a florist and a supplier for the cake. I guess when it’s your own wedding that you’re planning, you actually don’t get to enjoy it, since there’s the stress all over the place that comes along with it. What’s the nice thing about giving advises is that I’ve been there and done that. So I’m sharing what I could have done to make my wedding even more fabulous ( if I only knew about it then). Took note of the good and bad.. the endless possibilities that might caught the bride (and groom) off guard. The best advice I can give to a bride-to-be out there…. Be a hands-on-bride especially during the preps even if you’ll go mad during whole the process (at least you get to have the wedding that you want) and get a wedding coordinator.. at least for “the day of the wedding” (if you are on a budget)– let them handle the stress – that’s what they are getting paid for. xoxo.
