DIY Bride -Learn to Delegate

Whether you are a DIY bride because you love the home-good cuteness or your trying to stay within a budget, learning to delegate tasks is the only way to go for a successful event.


There are some ways and even some fun ways to delegate tasks for your DIY wedding.

1. Break up the tasks into pieces of paper, put them into a container and have your bridesmaids pull from the container, whatever they choose is their task, give them a deadline to finish!
2. Create craft projects or come up with a crafty game for your wedding shower, bridesmaid shower, bachelorette party etc.
3. Create a sleep over wine and craft night! Offer to cook dinner and pick up wine, they just bring their crafty-selfs :)
4. Have your maid of honor stay on top of all the people who are helping with the DIY tasks at hand, so you are not the one calling, texting, emailing, and showing up to their house unannounced (haha).
5. Thank your maid of honor for keeping it together by giving her something very special to you! Maybe even something you’ve made!

We would love to see your DIY wedding! Send us some photos of your favorite DIY wedding craft and a little bit about how you did it and you could *win a free tanning session*!

How to decrease Anxiety: Be prepared

What is anxiety really?

By definition “anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.”

You have something very special coming up in your life, your wedding day, something you probably have dreamt about for most of your life. You have put a lot of ideals on this day, as a result you are afraid that the outcome will not meet your expectations, resulting in this uneasy feeling of the unknown. But if you make a list and check it twice :) you will see that the uneasy feeling that your having will dissipate, it will start to flow away from your mind. 

Some easy steps to being prepared for your wedding day

Keep a to do list in the same booklet, don’t make lists and then put them down all over the house. This will keep your mind foggy { I know this first hand! }
Once you create a list and finish a task don’t erase the task, put a check mark next to it so you see how much you have accomplished.
If your to do list is too big for your wedding day, think about hiring a planner and or breaking up your list to people you trust.
• Make sure that you are getting plenty of water and exercise, remember that constantly drinking caffeine will make you anxious. 

Being prepared by keeping lists of everything you want done will eventually make the heavy anxiety go away. You may still feel anxious because of the excitement of the whole thing. The last step, exercise, water, no caffeine, getting plenty of sleep, trusting your planner or family will ensure you have a fun time at your wedding and not stress or feel anxious!

Have a great week brides! Hope to see you stress free by this weekend's festivities!
