If you are known as a perfectionist, you probably take pride in the label. After all, you know exactly what you want, when you want it, and how you want it done. What could possibly be wrong with that? However, as any married woman will tell you, some little thing invariably goes wrong at a wedding, and it is important to be flexible enough that you do not let little things ruin your special day.
Most brides who are perfectionists will find that many of their attributes help them when planning a wedding. They are likely to be detail-oriented, organized, excellent at creating and following a timeline, and so forth. The perfectionist will also be very clear on what she wants. You do not have to worry about her being wishy-washy or not having a clear vision for her wedding.
In the real world, though, the bride will be relying on countless other people to bring her vision to life, and it is important that she finds a way to convey her wishes clearly, but without being unreasonably demanding. When wedding professionals see a perfectionist bride coming, they are likely to quote her a higher rate for their services, because they know that they will end up having to re-do everything for this type of bride, until it meets her (sometimes) impossibly high standards.
Often, this type of bride can find herself in a position of being frustrated because someone is unable to create the exact thing that she has in her mind's eye. This is a situation where the perfectionist bride needs to take a deep breath and not let her obsession prevent her from seeing what is right in front of her. Being flexible will allow you to be open to happy surprises. After all, your wedding should be a time of joy, not of terrible stress.
Without a doubt, a bride with high standards will want to have many parts of her wedding made to order. That way, you can be certain that you will have your dream dress, and you can accessorize it with custom bridal jewelry to match. The great thing about ordering custom bridal jewelry is that each piece will be handcrafted just for you, so you know that it will be perfect.
The guests attending the perfectionist's wedding are sure to be in for a treat. Every detail will be meticulously prepared. Each flower will be exquisite, the food will delight the taste buds, and the musicians are sure to be top-notch. You can also count on a detail-oriented bride to provide very clear information for out-of-town guests about airlines, hotels, and transportation.
It is important for a bride with perfectionist tendencies to learn when to hold the line and when to let go a little. This is particularly true when dealing with bridesmaids. You can insure that they all wear the "perfect" silk dress that costs a mere $ 600, and with dyed-to-match shoes, no less. However, you have to be willing to let each bridesmaid express her own personality when it comes to things like hair and makeup. If you really want to see them all wear jewelry that matches their dresses, it is not okay to insure that they purchase it, but it would make a lovely wedding jewelry gift from the bride. (That is a good way to have your cake and eat it too!)
My final piece of advice is to trust the people that you have hired to orchestrate your wedding day. If the baker tells you that the cake design that you have your heart set on will likely topple over, then take her word for it. Likewise, if the bridal shop associate warns you that she does not think you will be happy in a particular gown – trust her expert advice. Professionals can often tell in advance when a bride with very exacting taste is making a choice that will not please her in the long run.
Of course every bride wants her wedding to be absolutely perfect. Brides who put a lot of thought into planning their wedding may even come very close to achieving this ideal. It is important to remember, though, not to drive yourself crazy in the pursuit of perfection. As much as possible, try to relax and enjoy the beautiful wedding that you have worked so hard to bring to life.
