Whether you are planning a wedding, or a special anniversary trip, it can be very stressful. Most of the time the source of the stress comes down to three categories:

1. Disasters
2. The budget
3. Time restraints

Let’s deal with disasters first, as it is the easiest to address. If there is a disaster. If a storm comes in and damages the hotel, someone in the family becomes very ill, or there is a problem with the best man or maid of honor and they withdrawal at the last minute, you have no choice but to roll with it. You cannot control nature, sickness, or the behavior of other people. While it may seem like the end of the world, it is not. So work around it and relax. You will either have the event or postpone it. You will change hotels or postpone the event. You will replace the missing person or omit their position. In any event, you will be fine.

The budget
Most of the time, when a couple blows their budget it is because they were not sincere when they agreed to it or they failed to include things that cost them extra money. This is a common problem because until you have planned an event like this, you do not understand all of the hidden costs involved. This is why it is a good idea to use a wedding planner. A professional wedding planner knows what to expect. They can help you set priorities and can pull you in and make suggestions when things are getting twisted.

• The dress

Regardless if you are buying a wedding dress, bridesmaid dress, or anniversary dress, you need to choose a vendor that is experienced. A bridal shop that has a great selection, the latest styles and vintage looks is your best bet. They can satisfy any style, and give you a quality, well-fitting dress at a great price. You can find what you are looking for and all the help you need at this site.

Match the style with the venue. If you are having a beach wedding, go with a material that is flowing and well cut. Consider separates. This allows the bridesmaids to keep on the tops (to keep the look together and chic) but to change the skirt for a shorter skirt, jeans, summer slacks, or even shorts. Be careful not to overdress. Layers, shawls, long sleeves and trains are not practical on the warm island sand.

• The location/venue

Consider having everything at one location. The hotel, the venue for the ceremony, and the honeymoon. This cuts down on costs and confusion. It relieves you of the stress of traveling all around on the day of the event.

Choose any day other than Saturday. Saturdays are the busiest days of the week for weddings and parties. Choose a different day and save some money and there is less rush and fear of being late to depart.

Repurpose the ceremony flowers and use them in the reception area. Place them in vases or arrange them in the center of the tables or across arches.

Cut down on the amount of decorations you will need by creating a flower wall. This is a way to use silk flowers and to move them to where they are needed at the right time.

• Time restraints

Save time and money by taking advantage of deals on Maui tours. You cannot see everything on your own. If you do not know where you are going, entire days can be used up just trying to find a place. Instead, depend on an expert tour guide who will show you things you have never seen before. Hidden beaches and waterfalls come to mind.

If you are already planning a trip for you and your guests, why not plan to travel mid-week. Just like with the wedding, it saves money and time to avoid the weekends.
