    Hi Ladyk! Married here and a piece of advice if something doesn’t go as planned (flower out of place or such) on the day of, if the bride doesn’t react, seriously no one notices! We had an ice sculpture outdoors and I knew (and warned by the vendor too ahead of time) it wouldn’t last the entire night in the heat. When it finally melted and crashed, I let out a big laugh and when the guests noticed it didn’t bother me, the party just kept going without missing a beat!
    The planning for us was hell, but day of, I let it all go, figured we did all we could, and decided to enjoy all of our hard work. So worth it!!! I’m excited for you as it is an amazing experience!! ❤️❤️❤️

    Thank so much for your words of encouragement. I've already started crying. I've been doing everything possible to make sure everyone is comfortable the day of. My fiance says who cares it's about us. I dont want my day ruined cause others dont have what they need, I'm afraid I'll be an emotional wreck

    You’re welcome! I totally understand. Believe me, 2 days before our wedding, my now husband and I were decorating the venue and one of my DYI pieces broke (in hindsight, no biggie) but it was the straw that broke the camels back for me. I just sat on the floor of the venue and bawled my eyes out. I needed that release of tears, unfortunately it’s not unusual to have stress crying leading up ❤️
    I totally get it though, wanting your loved ones to have a positive, smooth and safe experience at your wedding. Are there specific concerns you’re worried about?
    I had same feelings as you and wanting guests to feel very comfortable. We had a PPE station with hand sanitizers and wedding masks upon entry of the ceremony. I had bathroom baskets of floss, spray deodorant, tampons, etc. in the reception bathrooms. Luckily we had great vendors who really took the lead day of and kept things smooth. ❤️

    YAYYYYY same here, 43 days to goooooooo! I'm looking for advice too LOL. Only thing I can say right now is to take mini breaks. If your still buying stuff, still doing rsvp, seating, etc. do it for like two days and then take one full day off where you don't touch anything wedding related. REST on that day and then pick it back up. Do another 2-3 days of wedding stuff and BREAK AGAIN! I think it's so important to step away here and there as it gets closer. I do NOT want to be dead tired days leading up to the big day lol.

    If you can, throw in a date night for you guys, get a massage this month and next month too if possible lol. Also use the people closet to you, ask for that help. Go say hello to the sun on some days, just you and him take a walk around where you live and get some fresh air and sunshine; or walk by yourself. Just anything thing that can give you a chance to find stillness. Best of luck to you for the big day, IT'S ALMOST TIMEEEEEEE!!!

    Yes honey yes I need all that cause I'm still making and buying everything. I usually go hard for like a week then I'm over it. I get the 2 -3 days, as well as sunshine I've worked 130 hours a pay period to get everything I want....I'm tapping out slowly
