• Not Delegating – Wedding are massive webs of moving parts and tiny details. It’s nearly impossible for one person to be in charge of everything, much less so if that one person is the bride or groom. If the bride tries to micromanage the actual day of her wedding, she can miss out on the precious unscripted moments that make the day truly memorable. Whether to a coordinator, planner, friend, or family member, event planning and delegating tasks is your biggest tool on your big day. 

• Getting Too Involved with Social Media – Sure, you want to have some great wedding day pictures for your Instagram story or a fun video for your TikTok. But there is a time and place for being on social media and a time and place for being present in the moment. Your wedding is the latter. Make sure your guests understand this, too. Remember to tell your guests not to take pictures during the ceremony so all your professional photos are free from cell phones. Also, isn’t it better to give extended family and those loved ones who couldn’t make it first access to the happy photos, rather than letting the footage go viral? 

• Drinking too Much Champagne – No one intends to drink too much on their wedding day, but the common combination of stress, forgetting to eat, the plentiful availability of alcohol, and the long event often adds up to a too-drunk bride and groom. Be sure to eat, drink lots of water, and stay aware of how many drinks you’ve had. 

• Letting the Speeches Drag On – Toasts are fun, whether because they’re heartwarming or because Great Uncle John always says the craziest things. However, don’t let the speeches go on too long. Your guests don’t want to sit and listen to people talk, they want to drink, eat, dance, and celebrate. Ask your speakers to keep their speech under two minutes each and request that they practice the speech beforehand to ease any mistakes or discomfort in public speaking. 

• Trying a New Look – A brand new hair color or style is not a good idea for your wedding day. Besides the fact that something could go horribly wrong, you want to look like you on your big day. Hiring a professional makeup artist or hair stylist is great, just be sure to do a trial run before the wedding.
