Many women dream of a perfect wedding, or at least something close to it. But preparing for one can be utterly stressful; there are many items on the checklist which are seemingly impossible to be ticked off.
My Diamond, maker of elegant jewelry for weddings and any occasion, shares six things grooms and brides often forget to do but are actually important in making sure the wedding is not only successful but also a moment to remember.
Agree on at least 2-3 priorities to spend on
Setting your priorities straight early on can help deal with your concerns, especially if you are on a budget. Is the quality of food or venue more important to you? Are you more focused on the number of guests or on how elaborate your dress should be? Once you have your priorities and budget set, you can start searching for realistic options.
Choose responsive suppliers
After setting your budget and priorities, find the right people to help you achieve your wedding goals. Ask around, visit websites, read testimonials, and check their wedding portfolios, then draw up a list of those who seem like they will be able to provide what you need. Meet with them personally to see if you share the same vision or style.
To make the wedding preparation easier for you, My Diamond has handpicked wedding suppliers that offer special and exclusive discounts for My Diamond customers buying either engagement rings or wedding bands until August.
Don’t sweat the small stuff
After giving your suppliers the list of things they need to do, let go and trust them. Wedding experts are there to help ease your burden. You only have to take care of yourself for the big day. Read a book, catch up with friends, or bond with your family while enjoying the last moments of being single.
Provide your photographer a shot list
Photographers are expensive due to high demand. But many couples end up disappointed because of missing photos of loved ones or an overlooked special element in the wedding. Giving the photographer a list of things and people to photograph will help them capture the moments that are important to you.

Make sure you are well rested
Many soon-to-wed couples, especially brides, suffer from lack of sleep before the wedding. Get a good night’s sleep, have a soft massage, or listen to soothing music. Turn off your mobile phone so as not to be overwhelmed by notifications or messages.
Eat
Wedding jitters may make couples skip meals. It is important to eat to have the energy during the big day. Drink plenty of water to keep you hydrated and have some snacks, like biscuits or cookies, to boost your energy and get you through the day.
It is also very important to choose the right wedding ring that will symbolize your everlasting love. My Diamond is offering a 50 percent discount on engagement rings and wedding bands until June 30.
