While planning your wedding can be the most exciting part of your wedding for you and you may even find yourself wanting to do everything. From looking for the location of the wedding, doing the flower arrangement to even designing the whole wedding site. There is no problem though if you intend to get your hands occupied the whole time, the only challenge you may find is that the number of tasks is too many and all requires great attention and time.
If you want to be a do-it-yourself bride, you have to first realize that you may not be able to do everything yourself. You first have to determine which skills you have and what you can use with the wedding. Understand that although you may be good at arranging flowers or even creating your own bridal jewelry [http://www.silverlandjewelry.com/Bridal-Jewelry-Maintenance.html] does not mean that you will spend all of your time buying all the needed flowers, arranging the bouquets and all the table centerpieces or even spending the night on yourself creating your own bridal jewelry masterpiece by yourself. Even the most organized brides will not survive alone.
Finding where you are good at and asking help from friends and family who want to contribute help will be a good way of doing something for the wedding. If you have already a picture in mind of how your wedding will look like long before you have been engaged, then that can help you with your DIY projects.
Most of the time, do-it-yourself brides make it a point to show their personalities and tastes reflect the wedding. And since DIY is becoming more and more popular with brides, you can now find more ideas on how to do almost everything on bridal magazines and on the internet. But as mentioned, not everything can be done by the bride. Focus on what areas you are most creative and find a necessary help for it.
If you really do not want to enlist the help of a wedding planner even at the day of the wedding, you should consider hiring or delegating someone to be your wedding coordinator for your wedding day. Of course, you will not be able to oversee everything. Delegating someone, like a close friend you know you can trust and knows your plan for the wedding, or hiring a wedding coordinator for that day will ease your mind and let you just enjoy your wedding day.
You can even delegate a couple of your bridesmaids with directing the vendors to their set-up locations, ensuring that they stay on schedule and paying them at the end of the evening, placing your wedding favors at each table, monitoring the time frame of the pre-ceremony and reminding the wedding party of their given tasks, and monitoring the reception as well.
Remember that a do-it-yourself wedding planning is not all about you doing your wedding. It is part assigning tasks to those who are willing to give you a hand. And as you find yourself with many friends and relatives giving you your required help, you can be surer to enjoy your wedding since you know that the whole process was memorable.
