- Give
yourself plenty of time to plan. "Stress" means "strain"
and "mental or physical tension", usually brought
on by attempting to handle a multiple of tasks with a minimum
of time.
- Organize
all the pieces of the wedding. A binder which will include separate
tabs for wedding professionals, appointments, contracts, gown/dress,
swatches etc..
- Prepare
and follow a timetable of events, including appointments, deposits
& payments, reviewing, contract terms, fittings, etc..
- Every
aspect of the wedding day must be coordinated; Vendors and wedding
party must be coordinated.

- Don't
put emphasis on the word "perfect" - be flexible and
maintain a sense of humor.
- Don't
procrastinate in your planning - hire all of your wedding professionals
as soon as the date and place are set.
- Don't
hire your wedding professional until you have a working budget.
- Don't
hire professionals because they're the cheapest - you get what
you pay for.
- Don't
assume anything! - get everything in writing.
- Don't
make decisions without consulting your mate - it's his or her
wedding too!
