10 Things That Shouldn't Spook You About Planning Your Wedding

Planning your big day shouldn’t feel like walking through a haunted house, full of surprises, stress, and shrieks. At Weddings by Stardust, we believe planning your wedding should be filled with excitement, not eerie anxiety. In the spirit of Halloween, we’re unmasking the top 10 “scary” parts of wedding planning and showing you why they’re really not so frightening after all.

🎃 1. The Budget Boogeyman

It’s the scariest part for many couples, but it doesn’t have to be. With expert guidance, creative solutions, and clear priorities, we help you create a realistic budget that makes the most of your money (and minimizes financial fright).

🕸️ 2. Guest List Goblins

Too many names? Too many opinions? Guest lists can feel like a monster of their own. But with our help, you’ll sort through who truly needs to be there, who’s nice to have, and how to handle the etiquette of “no invites” gracefully.

🕷️ 3. Vendor Vampires

The idea of choosing florists, caterers, photographers, and DJs can feel overwhelming. Luckily, we have a coven of trusted vendors we know and love, and we’ll match you with the ones that fit your style and budget best.

👻 4. Timeline Terrors

Fear not: timelines are our specialty. From getting ready to the last dance, we create a perfectly paced flow for your event that ensures everything happens without chaos or confusion.

🦇 5. Weather Woes

Outdoor wedding with a chance of showers? Don’t let stormy skies haunt your dreams. We’ll help you plan smart with a solid backup option so your celebration stays magical, rain or shine.

🪦 6. Family Frights

Family dynamics can sometimes stir the cauldron. Whether it's divorced parents, opinionated in-laws, or guest list disagreements, we mediate with grace, empathy, and a little fairy dust (the metaphorical kind… or maybe not).

🪄 7. Design Dread

Not sure how to bring your vision to life? Don’t panic, we’re pros at decoding your Pinterest boards, discovering your aesthetic, and designing a cohesive look that reflects your love story.

🕯️ 8. Decision Fatigue

Cake flavors, linen colors, and invitation fonts. It’s a lot! But we’re here to guide, recommend, and narrow your choices so you’re not left in the dark.

🌙 9. DIY Nightmares

Thought you could fold 200 napkins into bats? Handmade centerpieces seemed like a fun idea… until they didn’t? Don’t worry. We’ll help you decide what’s worth DIY-ing and what’s better left to the pros.

💀 10. Fear of the Unexpected

No matter how well you plan, little things will go off-script. The trick is having a team that can handle anything behind the scenes—so you can stay blissfully unaware and fully present on your big day.
