We\u2019ve compiled a list of the most awkward wedding moments to arise and how to overcome or avoid these cringe-worthy moments\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having to tell one of your friends that she isn\u2019t your bridesmaid is probably one of the biggest hurdles in the planning stage of the wedding. The best way to let her know that you still care about her is to tell her quietly and ask her to do something else important at the wedding, for example make a special speech!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t want to invite everyone in the office to your wedding, you\u2019re definitely not obligated to. The rule is, if you socialise with them outside of work, then your friendship is more likely to be genuine. It\u2019s your day, just invite your closest work friends but be discreet about it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inviting your mum to your hen do can be a tricky decision. If you feel like you won\u2019t be able to let your hair down, relax and have fun then don\u2019t invite her. An alternative can be to do something a bit more formal to celebrate with your mum rather than taking her out with your friends. Equally, your mum may not fancy a drunk night on the town! If that is the case, use this opportunity to have a second hen party \u2013 perhaps a spa day, activities or a weekend away?! It\u2019s important to make sure she doesn\u2019t feel left out.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every bride fears messing up the first dance, whether that means stepping on the groom\u2019s toes or falling to the floor, all eyes are on you. It is definitely something that should be practiced even a few times, it doesn\u2019t have to be choreographed but take some time with it. Still on the lookout for the perfect first dance song to suit your style? Whether you\u2019re a slow shuffle or flash mob scene kind of couple, take the personality quiz and find out the PERFECT first dance song for you\u2026<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This may be something that\u2019s overlooked when choosing your perfect wedding dress, but essential on the night of the wedding reception. Whilst this shouldn\u2019t dictate the ease of your wedding dress per say, it\u2019s a good idea to prepare your bridesmaids and your MOH of their potential duties including toilet assistance!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a given that on your wedding day there will be hundreds of wedding photos taken of you and your h2b. Do not feel anxious by this if you\u2019re not particularly photogenic. You\u2019ve paid a professional photographer to take photos of you and they\u2019ll know what angles look the most flattering. If this is potential worry for you, make sure you speak with your photographer pre-wedding so you can discuss poses and even have a taster shoot to practice.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the time, relatives will be civil with each other at a wedding even if they don\u2019t get on with each other. After all, they love you and are there for you on your big day \u2013 they won\u2019t be focusing on each other. If you are worried however, then make sure they aren\u2019t sat on the same table or sat near each other at the ceremony. It\u2019s probably best to keep the distance between them.
