Wedding planning can be overwhelming, and a mistake along the way can spell disaster for the event. Careful planning and preparation can help prevent the heartache of common wedding pitfalls.
Here are some easy-to-avoid wedding mistakes.

2. Poor Planning
Give yourself plenty of time to plan in advance, assuring that venue dates, travel arrangements and other issues that could fray emotional wedding nerves are shored up in advance. Hire a wedding planner, especially if you're traveling or getting married far from home. That person can handle the details and the follow-up so you won't have to,
The Huffington Post said.
3. Bad Service
You get what you pay for in many things, including those who help with the big day. Hire competent key players who come highly recommended — especially with hairstylists, florists, wedding planners and others tasked with making your day special.
4. Family Strife
Resolve to focus on the happiness of the bride and groom — and stay away from family disagreements that could ruin the day. There is nothing like bad blood from family members to ruin an emotional and sentimental time. Ask for respect,

5. Financial Heartache
Stay on budget. Set a goal and stick with it, even if you're tempted to spend more,
Brides magazine said. No one will remember your wedding favors or scented napkins embossed with lovebirds. Warmth, hospitality and organization make for a beautiful service.
