A wedding is an exciting event in anyone's life. However, it can also cause some anxieties to those who are left making much of the preparation for this important occasion. So, if you're feeling a little bit stressed about the whole preparation process, then you might want to check out these pieces of advice to help you relax before and during your big day.

1. Make your needs a top priority.

As you come up with your to-do and must-have lists for your wedding in Singapore, be sure to include your priorities. List down your favorite dishes to be served in the banquet, take note of your preferred centerpieces and basically go back to your childhood wishes of how your perfect wedding should be. However, if you're on a tight budget, you can still make things happen by opting for more cost-effective options for the least of your priorities (e.g. Centerpieces and aisle decor), just to give way for the item at the top of your list.

2. Come up with a realistic budget.

When you have already liste down every essential element of your wedding, begin drafting your budget for the entire event. At this point, you should also finalize your guest list, as this can have a major impact to the amount you are likely to spend for your wedding. Once you have already set a budget, find reasonable wedding packages, and do your best to stick to it no matter what.

3. Choose your vendors carefully.

Your friends and family might have recommended quite a few service providers for your wedding such as the photographer, florist, caterer, and other vendors. However, the real deal is what most people are saying about the type of service they provide. Since you are spending for this event, it is only fair that you get excellent results from the vendors you choose to make your wedding a huge success.

4. Don't let others make their decisions for you.

It is only common for some members of your family, or perhaps a few close friends, to give their opinions about almost everything related to your wedding. Don't stress out when they do express their thoughts, and politely say that you have other plans in case they try to impose something on you.

5. Check your guest list twice (or thrice) and streamline it when necessary.

Just because people invited you to their wedding, this does not mean you MUST invite them. In the same way, you should not feel compelled to invite anyone just because you feel guilty about leaving him or her out of your list. With a skimpy budget, you have to realize that you have control over your guest list to minimize the wedding cost.

6. Make sure your shoes, clothes, and everything else fit perfectly by trying them on before the wedding.

Don't you just like the thought of walking down the aisle where everything looks just as amazing as you want it to be - your gown, shoes, veil, and even your accessories? Avoid last minute drama with your gown being too small, or your shoes causing you cramps by trying everything on before the big day.

7. Know who to contact for quick assistance.

As a bride, you probably have a million things in your head before and during the event. With this in mind, it is best to have someone whom you can count on for support to avoid stress caused by unexpected situations. This person could be one of your closest friends or a wedding planner - just as long as he or she is responsible enough to handle common problems that may arise.

8. Never leave home unprepared.

You never can tell when emergencies will occur, so it is wise to come prepared for your wedding. With this in mind, you should bring a kit that contains essential items that you might need for your and your entourage's outfit. A basic emergency kit may include a stain remover stick, bobby pins, blister plasters and safety pins. Of course, there are other items that you may need to bring as your list depends entirely on your needs.

9. Relish the feeling of being engaged.

More than anything, you should go back to that feeling of being in love and engaged with your partner. Perhaps, the wedding preparation has made you spend so little time with your significant other, and this may affect the quality of your relationship. In this case, you should devote a time for the two of you to reconnect and become re-acquainted with the joy of being together. Whether it is a romantic dinner for two, movie date, or a staycation somewhere you have always wanted to visit, just make sure this day is devoted for the two of you only.

10. Relax and take a breather.

Most importantly, you should try your best to relax. This may be a bit challenging for you to do since the wedding preparation can be stressful, but the thing is, it does not help to sweat the small stuff. So, take a breather, calm down, and just believe that everything will turn out just fine.
