Who do you consult when you have worries about your wedding?
To all the brides-to-be, how is your wedding preparation going? The more you think, "I want my wedding to be wonderful!" the more you might find yourself in conflicts with the venue, arguing with your partner, or feeling frustrated with DIY projects for the wedding. It happens, doesn't it?
How do you overcome such moments? There are various ways, such as consulting someone or releasing stress. This time, we will introduce potential confidants for brides when they encounter troubles during wedding preparations. Think about the people around you as you read on♡
If you stumble during wedding preparations...① Consult your mother
It seems that many brides consult their mothers when they have concerns about wedding preparations. For girls, their mothers are always the closest people, right?
When you get married, the distance from your mother tends to increase. During the engagement period, take the opportunity to lean on your mom. She will surely be happy about it...♡
If you stumble during wedding preparations...② Consult your siblings
Many brides also consult their sisters or brothers. If you have siblings close in age, you can talk about anything, and they seem likely to understand you. If your siblings have already gotten married, they might provide some good advice too.*
If you stumble during wedding preparations...③ Consult your partner
Some brides have said they consult their partners! In many cases, rather than a consultation, it turns into a "discussion" atmosphere. Some brides even set aside time once a week to talk about the wedding!
While wedding preparations tend to focus on the bride, remember that the wedding is for both of you. Discuss openly and progress with the preparations together*
If you stumble during wedding preparations...④ Consult your friends
There were also opinions about consulting married female friends. If they are married, they can offer various pieces of advice. To relieve stress, chatting with other women is the best way!♡
If you stumble during wedding preparations...⑤ Consult your grandmother
Although it's a minority, there are brides who consulted their grandmothers. Since grandmothers have lived for much longer, they tend to embrace whatever you say, which can give you a feeling of everything going well! For brides who don’t often get to talk to their grandmothers, why not take this opportunity to consult her?
If you stumble during wedding preparations...⑤ Consult fellow brides
It’s also recommended to consult brides you’ve become friends with through platforms like marry or Instagram. If they are currently engaged like you, they can listen and relate; and if they are already married, they might have good advice. Going to a wedding gathering is also a great idea!♡
If you stumble during wedding preparations...⑧ Consult the planner
When you are struggling with wedding preparations, consulting the venue's wedding planner is also a good idea. Wedding planners are professionals in weddings and have likely seen many brides before. They might show you good solutions and help you out!♡
If you stumble during wedding preparations...⑦ Consult your coworkers
As long as you don’t invite coworkers to your wedding, some brides talked to close female colleagues. Since you’re not inviting them, it won’t spoil any surprises, and as life mentors, they might provide you with valuable advice. When consulting, be cautious and consider the closeness of your relationship!♩
Avoid accumulating stress and create a wonderful wedding ♩
