Planning a wedding is an enormous task, and for many couples, this is likely your first time organizing such a major event. It’s no wonder why brides and grooms experience quite a rollercoaster of a journey throughout the whole process. Even the most hands-on brides will admit that wedding planning isn’t easy—and sometimes, you’ll encounter hiccups and detours. That’s perfectly normal!
But some challenges can be avoided altogether. We’re here to help make sure your wedding stays on the right track.
In this article, we’re giving you tips on how to avoid the most common wedding planning mistakes that couples often regret. Keep reading and plan smart!
There’s no such thing as a “perfect” wedding. Once the date is set, the venue is booked, and suppliers are secured, try not to sweat the small stuff. Remember—your guests are there to celebrate with you, not judge the table napkins.
Pinterest and Instagram can be fun sources of inspiration, but don’t let trends cloud your vision. What matters most to you? Focus on those non-negotiables.
Your dress should match the vibe of your venue. A formal hotel ballroom calls for different attire than a garden or beach wedding. Choose your venue first before saying yes to the dress!
You don’t need to follow tradition if it doesn’t feel right. Want to wear blush pink or floral prints? Go for it! Consult a local designer for custom ideas. Check out tips from Light of Love for more wedding theme inspiration.
Your budget should guide your decisions—not the other way around. Before committing to a supplier or package, make sure you’ve mapped out your expenses realistically.
Every bride wants to look and feel amazing—but crash diets may backfire. Eat balanced meals, stay hydrated, and avoid risky trends. Being healthy is the best beauty tip of all!
No one likes waiting 2 hours for food. While you’re taking photos, keep your guests entertained with snacks, cocktails, and music. Consider adding live performers or a mini grazing table!
With all the activity, it’s easy to forget. Assign a bridesmaid to remind you, or have light snacks available nearby. You can’t celebrate on an empty stomach!
Diamonds may be strong, but they’re not invincible. Avoid wearing your ring during heavy activity—or keep it on a necklace if needed. Treat it like the treasure it is.
Your skin could react unexpectedly, so never try new products too close to the wedding. Schedule major facials or treatments 3–6 months in advance.
Especially in the Philippines, weather can change quickly. If you’re planning an outdoor wedding, always have a Plan B. Our Light of Love Garden Venues come with flexible indoor options.
Add buffer funds for service charges, delivery, overtime, and tips. Having extra cash will save you from day-of stress.
In the Philippines, family often plays a huge role in wedding decisions. While their input matters, it’s your wedding. Focus on what will make you and your partner happy.
Planning a wedding is daunting, but knowing what not to do makes the journey easier. Make your wedding day happy, relaxed, and, above all—yours.
