Found this picture/saying and had to post this for anyone who is planning a wedding. It is so true. So many times we are focused on one specific idea and if something goes wrong (such as weather) we can stress out about it and it can ruin our day.
When planning a wedding or a function or event, it is imperative to have back-up plans, especially if it is an outside event. It is even more important to be okay with said back-up plan. Knowing that you have a full proof plan, even if plan "A" doesn't work can greatly decrease the stress level. If you are stuck and not sure how to proceed with a plan "B" "C" or "D" - talk to your professional vendors! They have been doing this for a great deal of time and usually have seen many successful and unsuccessful events and can give some great insight.
Happy Planning!
