I wish I could take credit for this boon to brides planning their wedding. I really do, but I can't. As much as I would have loved to have lobbied congress on behalf of brides everywhere, it wouldn't have done any good.
Still, every bride already engaged or at least already planning gets extra time to plan this year. I am talking, of course, of the extra day we get with leap year.
The question is how does a wise bride take full advantage of that day.
The answer depends on what she has been doing to this point:
If she has just begun the wedding planning process she should take the extra time as the ideal opportunity to sit and plan. Don't let the tyranny of the urgent get in your way. Instead:
- Go into seclusion
- Grab a favorite hot beverage
- Bring music that inspires creativity
- Bring sketch pad and pencil
- Sketch - don't worry about how good it looks - ideal wedding ceremony
- Sketch - don't worry about how good it looks - ideal wedding reception
- Relax
- Have fun with it.
The sketch is just for the bride. There is no need to show it to anyone else - it simply helps her decide what elements are really important to achieve the look she wants. Put another way, even if she doesn't like her drawings the exercise will help solidify the design concept in her mind. The end result, however, is that this exercise will help prevent her from spending money on decorations or design elements that don't help or even detract from the concept.
