How to plan without the stress

Welcome, and congratulations on your engagement. This first lesson is about how to plan a wedding without the stress.

What makes a day feel easy

Bedroom Studio has photographed, filmed and coordinated more than a thousand weddings, so we have seen a lot of wedding days up close. We have seen what makes a day feel easy, and what makes it stressful.

Big decisions, in the right order

Here is the secret. Most wedding stress does not come from the number of jobs. It comes from making a few big decisions in the wrong order.

Three decisions shape everything

Three decisions shape everything else. Your budget. Your guest count. And your date. Get these roughly right first, and every choice after that gets easier.

Ten stages, one small step each

This course has ten short stages, from right now to after the wedding. Each lesson ends with one small thing to do in your planner. Watch together if you can. The planner is built for two. And you do not need to do it all this week.

Keep it simple

One more thing. You do not have to do everything you see on social media. Choose what matters to the two of you, and let the rest go.
