Stuck with your Wedding Planning? Some Great Advice that Can Help You…

Welcome to our video series of the top 20 questions brides ask when planning their wedding.  I often get emails from brides who get stuck in their wedding plans.  What I see is that there are those brides who get stuck once, get their answer and can move on.  Then there are those brides who are overwhelmed and keep getting stuck.

Read along the full text below:

The overwhelmed and stuck brides usually have a lot of responsibility in their life, and have little time for wedding planning—and they need help.  In order to make the right wedding planning decisions, you need information.  The stuck bride usually doesn’t have the time to do the research necessary to feel informed and confident in making a decision.  It’s not that they aren’t capable, but not everyone has the time to spend to research all their options and figure out what they want.  So, they tend to be unsure, and then “get stuck”.  Are you a “stuck bride”?

The problem is, if these brides don’t get help making their decisions, well, they tend to start procrastinating.  Then, they are scrambling at the last minute to get everything done.  What happens then, is that they don’t take the time to research their options, and they often overpay for simple things. Bad decisions are made because they are in a hurry.  And all that hurrying gets them to their wedding day totally stressed out and they turn into BrideZilla!  It’s amusing until it happens to someone you know—and, really, no one believes that it will happen to them.

One of the nice things about having an online wedding planning coach is that they keep you on track, and help you when you get stuck.  They are there to give you all of your options so you can make realistic, intelligent decisions, and most importantly, help you not inadvertently overspend when you don’t have to.  Having a coach gives you a break from the constant research and planning that goes on during the wedding planning process.  The average 250 hours it takes to research and plan your wedding is reduced to less than half when using a wedding planning coach.  Through the various modules on our wedding planning membership site, you can watch fun, quick videos to educate yourself on what you need to know, access the SmartBride Action Plan with detailed instructions on what  needs to get done, and if you have questions, you can ask your bridal coach during the daily coaching hour.  If you want one-on-one personal wedding planning with your own personal consultant, you can have that too.

Everyone’s life is busy, busy, busy.  Planning a wedding can make you even busier, and then the stress comes in.  Get some help—whether it is a wedding planner, a friend, your bridal party, or an online wedding planning coach, it doesn’t matter.  Get someone knowledgeable who knows the wedding industry who can just help you get things done so you can get to your wedding day relaxed and organized.  Of all the days in your life, that is the day you should arrive at relaxed and full of energy so you can truly enjoy your day.

Good luck, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
