Planning your wedding should be an exciting journey, but let’s face it—stress can creep in. Don’t let it steal the joy from this incredible time in your life! Here are five practical tips to help you stay happy, focused, and full of excitement as you plan your big day:

1. Embrace a Realistic Timeline

Give yourself enough time to plan your wedding without feeling rushed. Break tasks into manageable pieces and prioritize them. Trust us, it’s easier (and more enjoyable) to tackle one task at a time than to juggle everything at once.

2. Delegate (Yes, It’s Okay!)

You don’t have to do it all! Lean on your partner, family, friends, or a wedding planner (hello, LOM Productions!). Assign tasks to those willing to help, and let go of the need to micromanage. Your people want to see you happy, not overwhelmed.

3. Set Boundaries

Be clear about what matters most to you and your partner. Politely say “no” to ideas or suggestions that don’t align with your vision. This is your day, after all! Setting boundaries will save you from unnecessary stress.

4. Take Breaks From Wedding Planning

Planning mode doesn’t need to be 24/7. Schedule days where you don’t talk about the wedding at all—enjoy a date night, binge-watch your favorite shows, or indulge in a hobby. Balance is key to keeping your spirits high.

5. Remember the Big Picture

At the end of the day, your wedding is about celebrating your love and commitment. When things feel overwhelming, take a deep breath and refocus on what really matters—the beginning of your next chapter together.
