Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life - you will want to ensure that everything goes well.
Some brides spend sleepless nights with sheer anxiety, wondering if everything will go as planned on their special day.
However, there are ways to ease this normal anxiety and prevent some of the more common problems brides face on their wedding day.
The Wedding Dress What if my dress doesn't fit right on the day of the wedding? What happens if I trip on my train? These are common concerns that nearly every bride goes through; you are not alone.
Search the Internet for local shops of quality seamstresses.
Ask them if they will be available around the date of your wedding, just in case you need any last minute alterations or quick fixes.
They will also be able to offer clever suggestions on avoiding tripping over your train.
This will relieve a lot of your anxiety knowing that there will be a professional there in case you need them.
Also pick shoes that you can actually walk in and make sure you practice walking around in your shoes prior to your wedding day.
Catering Services You may be worried about the caterers showing up on time.
Chances are, you have nothing to worry about.
You've done your homework, made sure that the caterers are reliable and dependable, so relax.
If, in the remote chance that they do not show up on time, it's not a big deal.
Let the DJ or band entertain and distract the guests until the caterers do show up.
Beverage Control The best way to ease this worry (and your wallet) is to not offer numerous types of beverages for your guests.
By trying to have some of everything, you may end up with a lot of bottles barely opened (which you still have to pay for) and running out of some of the other popular drinks.
Keep your beverage menu simple; offer soft drinks for the under-aged and those that don't indulge in alcohol, and a variety of the more common alcoholic drinks that can be mixed or served alone.
The Wedding Cake We've all seen the videos of cakes listing to the side or even toppling over.
This isn't as common as you would think, however, so try not to stress to much on this worry.
Choose a place that is cool and not in a high traffic area to display the cake.
Assign someone to stay close to the cake table and keep an eye on it (and making sure little fingers aren't trying to sneak a taste).
If a problem does start to arise, your cake guard will notice and take the appropriate actions.
It won't matter to the guests if you end up cutting the cake a little earlier than you expected.
Preventing the common wedding day worries from happening isn't as hard as it seems.
A few preventative measures and planning will ease your worries and help to ensure less mishaps.
Just remember to plan ahead and know that there will be little bumps along the aisle, but your wedding will still be just as precious and perfect.
