Planning a wedding is a fun and special time for not only the couple, but for everyone in their circle. But do remember that at the end of the day your wedding is simply about you and your partner.

People will always have their opinion to give (waranted or not). Listen, nod, and acknowledge. But leave it at that.

Bridesmaid doesn’t like the dress you’ve chosen for her? Mother in law isn’t happy with the seating arrangements? Friend knows of a “better” florist?

During this one time in your lives, be a little selfish! And don’t worry about hurting people’s feelings if you don’t take on their advice. At the end of the day, this is a celebration of your love as a couple and your wedding should reflect that.

Ms Gingham says: This will offer all our brides currently planning their weddings a boost of courage. Consider your guests and your family, be polite and courteous but don’t let people convince you to do something you don’t want to do.
