Take time

This week, I want to write about something that is totally essential to planning your wedding. In fact, it may be one of the most important things that you do during your engagement! Take a break!

That's right, I mean STOP planning every last detail of your wedding for at least a weekend! Go away somewhere with your fiance, or with your girlfriends. Cease obsessing over which way the pocketfold in your invitation should face, and step away from the wedding planning bubble!

I think I just coined a new phrase -- "wedding planning bubble." I now claim the copyright to that term! How apt?! Perhaps more so for some couples than others, but everyone gets caught up in the bubble. Which is totally fine! But, sometimes you need to get out of the bubble and experience things that don't directly relate to your color scheme or favor choices. Re-enter the world outside of your wedding plans, and re-connect with your friends on a totally different plane.

When you return from your weekend "outside the bubble" guess what? All of your choices still will be waiting for you - and you'll be better able to make the right decision for you, simply because you are refreshed. So, take some time and get away!!

Until next time, happy planning...
