Planning a wedding is a lot of work, but if you leave yourself lots of time and carefully plan how you're going to get it all done, you'll be able to get through the planning process without losing your mind. Here, you'll find a few tips to help you through this tough time so you can make it to the best day of your life with your sanity.

Lease a Storage Unit

Since you'll be working to get everything done in advance, you will need somewhere to safely store what you've already accomplished. If you don't have a free space around your home, consider leasing a small storage unit.

Trying to cram all of the decorations and things into one small room in your home will make things more difficult for you. Not only will you have to worry about things getting smooshed and having to redo them, but you will have to deal with the stress of having it all right there in a cluttered-up mess. Clutter will make you feel more stressed – so staying organized is crucial right now.

Opt for Silk Flowers

Silk flowers are simply gorgeous these days – you'd really have to get up close to even tell that many of the silk flowers produced these days are silk and not the real thing.

If you choose to use silk flowers, rather than fresh, you can get them taken care of well in advance. The silk bridal bouquets, the centerpieces, and all of the decorative pieces for the wedding and reception can all be selected, made, and stored months before your wedding day.

Your silk flower arrangements can be done for you, or you can buy the flowers and make your own arrangements. This can be frustrating, so if you have no experience creating beautiful flower arrangements, leave it to the professionals – you have enough to stress out about between now and the day you walk down the aisle.

Tip: When storing silk flowers, make sure that you're storing them in a climate-controlled setting. You don't want them exposed to high or very low temperatures, nor will they do well in very humid air.

Get Some Help

Make sure that you're taking advantage of all of the people offering to help you with the planning process. Chances are, you've brushed off some of the people that want to help, but seriously, allow the people that love you enough to offer, help.

You will get through this and when you look back on your wedding day, chances are, you won't even think about what it took to make that day possible.
