Most couples look forward to their wedding days with a mixed sense of nervousness and excitement. This is due to how much weight is placed on weddings these days. Brides and grooms alike do not want anything to go awry on their special days and will go to extreme lengths to ensure perfection. If this sounds familiar to you, then you might be ready to start preparing for some possible wedding disasters. Looking over advice from the experts might point you in a better direction.

Countless wedding planners have given their perspectives over the years on what unexpected problems tend to come up at weddings and how best to tackle them. Look over some of these more commonplace scenarios and give yourself a moment to think through how you might be able to prepare. The right precautionary moves can make a significant difference in how ready you are for what comes next.

One More Drink 

Alcohol tends to flow freely at most weddings. Couples want to be sure their guests are having fun. One of the easiest ways to achieve this goal is by providing an open bar where your family and friends can stay nice and buzzed while dancing and celebrating your union. Of course, this can easily take a turn. When someone has had too much to drink, you could be looking at a disaster situation unfolding right before your eyes. This is especially true when the person in question plans on driving after the reception.

While you cannot specifically control how much a guest drinks at your wedding, you can definitely plan for the situation. Most couples rent shuttle bus services to help get guests from the reception to the hotel where they will be staying. This can help to limit how many people attempt to drive at the end of the night. To take this to another level, consider booking one or two extra rooms you can give away to guests who drank far too much and cannot drive. It might cost a bit more for you, but it can prove invaluable.

Dressed to Impress

Another common problem that comes up at weddings has to do with the bride’s dress. While a bride is enjoying her wedding, she is going to be bouncing from table to table to chat with guests and hitting the dance floor for some fun. With all this running around, it is easy for the wedding dress to get snagged on something. Worse, it is very common for an inebriated or enthusiastic guest to step on the edge of a dress and cause it to tear. Hearing a ripping noise can cause your heart to stop.

You want to have fun with your guests, but it can seem impossible when you’re wearing a dress that costs a small fortune. You definitely don’t want to be a bride who is freaking out over her dress during the wedding. Instead, take time to hire a seamstress to be present at your wedding. This professional can come to your event and take care of any tears that might occur while you are enjoying your special night with your favorite people.

Stay Ready

Though you and your partner have been preparing for your wedding for a significant amount of time, you need to keep in mind there are always disasters waiting where you least expect them. To be ready for anything that might come your way, think over additional advice from professionals on how to handle any problems that might arise. Staying prepared can help you to come up with a plan of action and allow your special day to play out the way you have always envisioned.
