One thing I have learned..Do what makes you happy! If you want to go away and do it, do that!

Too many people involved just gets you stressed, less hassle and upset if you do it on your own, and remember what the day is all about it's not about pleasing others it's about pleasing yourselves. Good Luck xxx

Yep I am arranging one in Mauritius and another ceremony in the UK...I only have a few weeks to go and stressed to the max what with working full time too. On the plus side I am sure it will all come together and have the chance to enjoy and be excited a few days before x

Plan however you want it. If you want to jet off and do it just you and your family do that.
If they don’t want to come sod them. At the end of the day it’s best to do what is going to make you and HTB happy.

My now wife and I planned ours ourselves. The less people in the planning the closer you can get it to how you two want it..

I personally don't understand why anyone would want to have everyone else planning their wedding? It's your day... therefore make it whatever you want it to be and screw everyone else??

I planned mine myself. We have just got married 8th September. Although stressful at times seeing everything come together on the day and knowing that you planned it all is an amazing feeling. My husband and our friends and family said it was a beautiful wedding. It’s your day, do what will make you happy! Xx

The best advice everyone has given me since I got engaged is " it's your wedding, if other people don't like what you want, tough!"
We're gonna plan ours ourselves as we want it to be our way and to have an amazing day, instead of pleasing other people and not enjoying it ourselves x

I’d see it as an opportunity, if you’re the only one planning it, you can do exactly what you want!! My h2b nods at some decisions now and again, and other than that, I have very very limited input from anyone unless I specifically ask! Bliss!

I’ve planned most of mine on my own with little bits of artistic input by my mum who has been there if I needed her. At times I’ve felt the same! I felt that no one else cared as much as I did and quite honestly I came to accept that actually that probably is true haha! My friends and family are excited but it’s me and my fiancé getting married and no one is going to want to be involved as much as us! My wedding is in 8 weeks and I’m looking forward to seeing all the hard work come together! X

Go abroad and do it. Wish I had. Would of had a lot of less stress. I'm getting tomorrow and so wish I had gone abroad. Only you and your other half should be planning makes it more stress free, trust me x

I'm pretty much planning mine myself as my family live quite far away. So I do the planning and h2b comes with me to check things out. .. but he is mostly about the budget! Quite stressful! Just think what you want, is it in your budget and if so do it. But if your having the ceremony and reception for other people and you would rather spend the money on something else then screw everyone else and elope! Good luck!xx

I’m planning myself pretty much alone - my fiancé has input where he wants but he’s so laid back he’s horizontal so I get my way most of the time. Tbh we got engaged in May and are getting married next May and I’ve only got a couple things left to book. I find it easier doing it myself 🙂

You can do it :) I planned mine myself, I got married in July in kos, none of my family were there, just my partners family but everything was how I wanted it, no drama, just totally relaxed :) enjoy planning x

Your totally not alone in this! i think i experienced this, and every bride has probably felt this. I would highly recommend you think about what you and your partner truly want, then think about how your decision will impact your future, so in 5 years times you want to look back and not regret your decision...what makes you ultimately happy will never be regretted, but make a decision for you, and no one else. Help is always found for brides, there's plenty of help out here for you

I've got so many family and friends helping me in their own ways and yet I often feel alone in planning and organising etc. It's a common feeling but there's always help, even if it's the organisations you use, the coordinators at your venue are all so helpful if you just ask x
