Simplify your wedding planning!

Are you recently engaged, trying to enjoy the happy times, but feeling overwhelmed by all the ideas, information, and magazines family and friends have passed your way?  Here's an idea from Crystal with Professional Socialites:  Tear out your favorite ideas and forget about the rest!



Sit on the floor with all your wedding magazines and when you see a picture of something you like, tear it out!  It can be the color, the style of a dress, the favor, or the photo style; whatever drew your attention to that picture...tear it out.  Keep all these pictures in a file and once you are done going through all your magazines start organizing and downsizing.  Separate the pictures in to groups to organize them for different elements of your wedding.  Then, as you go through each group, get rid of the pictures that you've lost interest in and NEVER visit them again. This is the only way to move forward.

You'll slowly start to see your image come together and it will be a lot easier on you and your poor bridesmaids that have been trying to talk you off a cliff and wiping away your tears.  Once you see your image, the details will come to you.  It will feel right and when you get to a point where you once again feel overwhelmed, don't forget to put this tip to practice and get back to enjoying your engagement!  You don't want to ever forget these precious days.

I hope this idea is helpful to all our recently engaged brides out there!
