When planning your dream day, it is pretty normal to stop and ask themselves what actually makes the perfect bride and the perfect groom? Weddings tend to unveil a lot of pressure on both parties which sometimes put some sort of strain on relationships.
To give you a few pointers on how to avoid this from happening, below are tips to helping you become the best bride and the greatest groom.
The Perfect Bride
1. Be open to ideas. Listen to your Wedding planner as they are there to take the brunt of the pressure off your shoulders.
2. Try to avoid making all the decisions yourself. Remember your partner would want to get involved, encouraging them to make decisions will give them less reasons to develop a cold feet.
3. The dress. Although a big expensive dress can seem like the most important decision you make, remember that most grooms tend to see them as a waste of money so ensure you justify your budget. After all, you only wear the dress once in a lifetime so they have a good point.
The Prefect Groom
1.Get involved in the wedding and be a part of the DMP (decision making process). Grooms have a tendency to not get involved until the end and this causes disagreement too late in the wedding planning process.
2.Traditional weddings tend to focus around the bride so don’t feel overlooked or under appreciated. While looking good is important for the bride, being an all rounded good host is more of the groom’s role and this is what makes everyone enjoy your big day day.
3. Be mindful of the communication and relationship between your bride and your mother. The groom’s mother often tends to be very over protective of their son (especially if they’re an only child). Get her involved but continue to remind her that it is your special day.
