Karine and Benton had the best wedding weekend! What do you get when two electrical engineers get married....THE POWER COUPLE.  Yep, cheesy but that's what their friends call them.   One of the things that was so great about working with them, is that they had a very clear vision of what they wanted.  They chose bold and vivid colors for every aspect of the wedding.  Their church ceremony at St. Ann Catholic Church, was traditional and a mix of faiths.  Then everyone walked to The Ben and enjoyed cocktails, dinner and dancing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with all of the planning that goes into your wedding? If so, you're not alone! Weddings can be extremely stressful, but there are ways to reduce the stress and make the process a little easier. In this post, we will discuss 11 steps that will help you reduce wedding stress and enjoy your big day!

What are some of the main stressors when it comes to weddings?

For many couples, the guest list is one of the most stressful aspects of wedding planning. Trying to please everyone and accommodate all of the different personalities and dynamics can be challenging, to say the least! Other common stressors include budgeting, making decisions about vendors, and dealing with family drama.

How does stress effect the wedding planning process?

Stress can have a negative effect on your health, both physically and mentally. When you're feeling stressed, your body produces cortisol, which is a hormone that can lead to weight gain, anxiety, and depression. Cortisol also suppresses the immune system, so you're more likely to get sick during times of stress.

In addition to the physical effects of stress, it can also take a toll on your mental health. Stress can cause mood swings, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. It can also make it difficult to make decisions and stick to a budget. If you're feeling stressed about your wedding, it's important to take some time for yourself and relax. Here are 11 tips to help you reduce stress and enjoy your wedding planning process:

1. First and foremost: hire a wedding planner... specifically us - Fabuluxe Events.  We will take care of all the stressful details for you!
2. Make sure that you have a clear idea of what you want. This will help you to communicate your vision to your vendors and with Fabuluxe Events to make sure that everyone is on the same page.
3. Set a budget. One of the most stressful aspects of wedding planning is managing the budget. Before you start booking vendors or buying décor, sit down with your fiancé and set a realistic budget for your big day. This will help you stay on track and avoid overspending.
4. Delegate tasks to friends and family members. You don't have to do everything yourself! This will help lighten your load and make the planning process more enjoyable.
5. Take breaks when you need them. Step away from the planning for a bit and relax.
6. Make time for yourself. Get a massage, take a yoga class, or just spend some time with your fiancé, friends and family.
7. Take care of your body by eating healthy and exercising. This will help reduce stress levels. Get plenty of sleep. Lack of sleep can make you feel cranky and stressed.
8. Stay organized. One of the best ways to reduce stress is to stay organized. Create a folder for all of your wedding-related documents, and make sure you stay on top of deadlines and appointments. This will help you stay in control and avoid last-minute scrambling.
9. Make sure to communicate with your partner. Wedding planning can be stressful, but it's important to remember why you're doing it in the first place. Talk to each other about your concerns and make sure you're on the same page. 
10. Don't sweat the small stuff. It's easy to get caught up in the details, but try to remember that not everything has to be perfect. Don't sweat the small stuff and focus on the bigger picture. This will help you enjoy the planning process and reduce stress.
11. Finally, remember to enjoy the process! Yes, wedding planning can be stressful, but it's also a time to celebrate your love and commitment to each other. Try to focus on the positive aspects of the planning process and enjoy this special time in your lives.

When it comes to weddings, there is no such thing as "perfect." No matter how much you plan, there will always be some bumps in the road. The important thing is to roll with the punches and enjoy the ride! By following these tips, you'll be able to reduce stress and enjoy the wedding planning process. Your big day will be here before you know it, so take some time to relax and savor every moment!

Hey all...yeah we know it's never easy to talk about money.  But talking about and being honest about your wedding budget is crucial.

It is important to have a clear idea of how much you are willing to spend before you start making any decisions. 

The word budget can mean something different to each wedding couple. The definition of a budget is "an amount of money that is available for, required for, or assigned to a particular purpose." When it comes to weddings, your budget may include everything from the cost of the venue and catering to the cost of your wedding dress and flowers. For some, it may be a set dollar amount that they are willing to spend on the entire wedding. Others may have a more flexible budget that allows them to spend more in certain areas and less in others. Having a budget does not mean that the wedding is any less luxurious or DIY, it simply allows couples to be more mindful of their spending and make choices that are in line with their overall vision for the day. 

There are a few different ways that you can go about setting up your wedding budget. 

- Decide how much you are willing to spend. This is the first and most important step. You need to have a clear idea of your budget before you start making any decisions.

- Make a list of all the costs associated with weddings. This includes things like the venue, catering, flowers, decorations, music, etc.

- Determine which costs are most important to you. This will help you prioritize your spending and make sure that you are getting the most important things for your money.

- Start making decisions based on your budget. Once you have a clear idea of what you can afford, you can start to narrow down your options and make more informed decisions.

-Be honest with your wedding pros about what you can and can't afford.  It saves stress and heartache in the long run.

Hey everyone!  So, life is slowly getting back to normal and that makes us so happy.  It means we get to start celebrating again.  So today we are taking a look back at Daniella and Andrew's wedding to help us remember that weddings are so beautiful and magical and everything we love!

First of all, Daniella and Andrew are two of the kindest, most fun, down to earth and all around cool people.  We had so much fun with their families and friends.  And the star of the day was the adorable, rescue dog - Daisy!  She walked down the aisle and stole the show during all of the photos!

They had a super fun rehearsal dinner at The Colony the night prior to the wedding.  Check out the cool pink "yeti" cooler filled with mini-champagne bottles.  

Andrew's aunt owns a custom clothing boutique and made all of the suits for the guys. And they were looking FABULOUS!  Danielle was looking a like dream in her dress from Lighthouse Bridal.  And her hair and make up was by the incredibly talented team at Kiss This Make Up.   Decor was designed by the amazing Nancy with Xquisite Events with linens from Atlas Event Rentals.  Everyone danced the night away and Rock with U - DJ Ricky City and the crew were on fire!

And all of this magic was captured by Jessica Bordner Photography, who is pure magic.  And the most wonderful May and Jamie from Key Moment Flims.

Daniella's Man of Honor has been her best friend since high school.  And he gave one of the best, most heartfelt wedding toasts that I have heard in over 10 years.  There were tears all around!  

It's these moments that combined into a whole day that make a wedding so special!  And we live for those moments!

Hey y'all!  So every now and then the stars align and you get to help one of your best friends plan his wedding!  Todd and I met several years ago as he was the Event Designer for one of our weddings in Palm Beach.  We found that we worked the same way and had a lot of things in common.  And over the years Todd has become one of my closest friends.  He met Antonio a couple of years ago through friends...and the rest, as they say, is history!  These two are so in love and it was such an incredible honor to be able to help them create their wedding day!  

PS Check out their recessional and the lightsaber surprise.  Antonio loves Star Wars so we surprised him with the lightsabers and the Star Wars Theme Music as they exited the ceremony!
