Now that you and your partner are a newly engaged couple, it is likely that you have started planning your wedding. We do not have to tell you how much work goes into planning such an important event, considering you are likely up to your ears in wedding details, however, it is important to remember that every aspect of your wedding day requires a great deal of attention, from your vendors to your décor, as everything is going to be precisely planned.
While you are likely occupied getting as much done as you can, there are a few wedding planning mistakes that you should be on the lookout for, as it is important to avoid as many wedding mishaps as possible.
Here at Mountain House on Sunday River, we love seeing happy couples start of their newly married life, which is why we have gathered a few tips to help you avoid making any crucial wedding mistakes, so be sure to continue reading to learn more:
- Not planning ahead. Seeing as your wedding is such an important day, you will need an adequate amount of time to pull it off, as the more time you have, the more prepared you will be. Many vendors and other services are booked quite in advance, so starting your wedding planning as early as possible will give you the best chance to book every service you want. It can be surprising how far out vendors are booked, such as venues and photographers, so if you see one that catches your eye, do not let them slip away.
- Not planning with trustworthy vendors. We have all heard of someone who fell victim to shams when it came to hiring a “professional” vendor for a wedding. To get your money’s worth, and ensure that your wedding day is a huge success, it is important that you do your homework about possible vendors; Look up reviews, ask around and meet them in person, so you can gather all of the details about a company to ensure that they will be the perfect fit for your big day.
- Not asking for help. No matter how strong and independent you are, planning a wedding is too much for you to do on your own. From the stress to the lack of free time, your mood can greatly drop, and the last thing you want is to start having negative feelings when you think of your wedding. It is ok to ask for help! You have loved ones who are there for you, and even though you may be able to do it on your own, you should not have to, as your friends and family would be happy to help, along with a wedding planner too!
Your wedding day is absolutely one of the most important days of your life, so be at ease as you plan it, and allow yourself enjoyment, rather than stress. Here at Mountain House on Sunday River, we offer a luxurious wedding venue, perfectly suitable for any theme, so if you are ready to start planning your Maine wedding, contact us today for your private tour.
