Why? - I feel sooo panicked. - BELABRIDE's Red Wedding by Color Blog

yes. it's been 4.5 months of adrenaline so far. Fear and excitement. I don't know how much more my heart can take! Seriously, marriage to me is a big deal. i've got some very strong feelings about it since i was a small child. but it's interesting to work through it all.
are you panicked because of all the work to do? or are you nervous about the actual day of standing in front of people? or are you scared of marriage? or all three? :)

All Three! my Parents both have a couple divorces under thier belts...marriage is a huge deal!

A few months ago, I found myself getting extremely nervous about not being about to get everything done. But, what I did is make a list of all the things I still need to get done and I'm doing them 1 at a time.
I've come to the realization that I can't accomplish each and every thing on my list in 1 day. So, I just have to take it 1 day at a time. But, I'd say making a list of all of your ideas should be your # 1 step, then you separate the necessities from the "maybe if I have time (and $), I'll do these" and take it from there.
Hope this helps. Good luck :)

Ditto to what Ladybugg said. Every now then I feel VERY overwhelmed, & like the more I plan get done, the more other things pop up to be completed. Try to pace yourself, & break it up. Set 1-2 projects (or however many you decide) a week & get it knocked out that way. You can still be ahead of the game wayyyy before your wedding day.

Shoot! I just typed a really nice, long response & it got erased! Anyway...the basic thing I was going to say just make a to-do list & follow it. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed! You have plenty of time to do everything...and if the flowers come in a shade too dark, the important thing is that you will be married!! Plus, whenever you need to vent, we're all here to listen! Good luck! Everything will work out fine!

The thing that helps me stay calm is my ridiculously massive checklist. It has every little detail you could possibly have to do, and it's broken down into time frames. I can email it to you if you like, just contact me with your email and i can end it to you. It's very overwhelming, we don't realize it going into it, but there are so many little things we have to do. Don't stress you will get it all done. Just start working on some of the larger things now, and you won't be so stressed when the wedding comes around. Right now you can book all your vendors, start looking and buying your invitations, etc.

Feeling the same way. Seems to crop up every now and again. Especially lately, because I did 0 planning over the holidays, and I feel like I've wasted so much time. But I have to agree with everyone who has posted saying the same thing...

Making the list helps me. I like writing stuff out over and over again, lol, but not in the same day. Then I look at all the lists and see if I've missed anything. I like knowing that I remember everything off the top of my head. The best part is writing out the list of completed stuff and then comparing the sizes of the lists. lol! Re-reading that made me sound like a very strange or OCD person, lol.

Dont panic one day at a time and one project at a time. It can get really overwhelming at times.

I was incredibly overwhelmed. We figured out the guest list and I felt a bit better, then booked the reception place and I felt better yet....It seemed like there was SO much stuff to do but one thing after another things started falling into place...the wedding is July 4th and I don't have bridesmaid dresses yet but after everything else I know it will happen and it'll be alright....I still have little bouts of panic but seeing things getting done makes me feel so much better.
Try not to stress too much, it'll turn out fine...the beginning definetly seems to be the most stressful

I had a mini-meltdown...To myself...when we hit 1 year countdown....The list of to-do;s was so large and Although I absolutely couldn't wait to get married...I all of a sudden felt really stressed....Well......Now we are 95 DAYS away!!! And really, a lot of the stress has faded (for now..LOL)....and there is SO much excitement!!!! You'll get through it....It's just gonna get better...everyday!!! Enjoy every moment!!! :) Although.....I am SO emotional..lol....I cry with every love song I hear, wedding on tv....just thinking about it!! HAHA....tears of total joy.....But really!! LOL

you are not alone. I just started planning and before I got my consultant I would get so frustrated over little things. This is a big change about to take place in your life so its heart wrenching :)
