You don't have to be stressed out on your special day.
By Carlie Fox — Written on Aug 02, 2019
The love of your life finally popped the question! You have so much to do once you set a date or the day you'll become a husband and wife.
Usually people take up to one year to plan the perfect wedding.
Depending on religious affiliations or if you want to get married out of the United States, putting together all the moving parts can become a stressful experience.
Do you hire a planner or do you tackle all the tasks yourself?
It can be overwhelming to think about all that needs to get done before your big day, even if your wedding is a year or more out.
Each zodiac sign possesses certain qualities that make them either excellent or troubled wedding planners.
It is okay if you need the extra help – it is your wedding day and everything should be perfect without the extra stress.
If you have the willpower to buckle down and get to planning a wedding yourself, congrats to you because organizing a wedding with all the details can be tricky.
But, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
However you decide to plan your wedding, know the most important part is bringing your friends and family together to celebrate the love you and your significant other have.
Don't get too caught up in the small details that you will probably forget a few years down the line (no, your dress is not a small detail and you should get caught up in finding your fairytale gown).
So, are you the bridezilla that goes crazy till the day is here or are you the lax bride that could care less about everything expect the food – and her husband, duh.
Here's how to reduce stress and have your perfect wedding all planned out for your special day based upon the astrology of your zodiac sign.
ARIES (March 21- 19)
Okay Aries, your big day is up first. You are all about being in charge and overseeing every part of your wedding.
No detail is approved without your consent first. It is hard for you to trust your husband and bridesmaids with the parts you're not allowed to know about, but believe them when they say it will be a magical day.
Try not to let your short fuse blow when you're discussing the dinner menu with your caterer – he is only trying to help!
It is safe to say you are probably not hiring a wedding planner, because not even Lauren Conrad herself could put together a better evening then you.
You love a good challenge and planning the perfect wedding is one you are up for.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus, the bigger the better when it comes to your dream wedding
You may need to hire a wedding planner to organize all of the extravagant details you plan on adding – white doves and a horse drawn carriage may be extra to some people, but never to a Taurus.
You can be stubborn in what you want, so you will have the majority say in your special day.
Your wedding planner is only there to make the calls and make sure everyone will be there and ready to party.
The first thing you picked out was your dress because, let's be honest, the spotlight needs to be on you and your million dollar gown.
GEMINI (May 21- June 20)
Gemini, you just want your wedding to be fun and enjoyable for everyone in attendance.
The super extravagant details aren't important, so you find yourself planning your wedding all on your own.
Even though you can be indecisive when it comes to which cake is best, your future husband is there to help make the big decisions.
The thing that matters most to you is having an excellent videographer film your wedding and capture all the funny and sentimental moments.
You will probably upload the video to Facebook and go viral – no biggy! As long as you are surrounded by the ones you love, you're one happy bride.
CANCER (June 21- July 22)
Cancer, you want your wedding to showcase the true love you share between you and your future husband.
Since you may become a little too sentimental before the big day even arrives, you may decide to hire a wedding planner to help lessen your worries.
Your need to make sure everyone will have a good time and have enough to eat is making wedding planning more stressful than it needs to be.
Take a deep breath and call a wedding planner to help sort out the details. She will give you piece of mind that everything will be okay and up to your liking.
The only thing you should be worried about is how to eat all the food without staining your white dress.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
Leo, of course you are planning your own wedding! You were born to become a leader, even if that means the leader of your wedding party.
The more creative and wild, the better when it comes to planning your dream day.

That being said, you will plan the most over-the-top (but still in budget) wedding for you and your loved ones.
This is your day to treated like the queen you know you are, so take advantage of that. You will most likely stop for a pamper session mid-planning to de-stress.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
Virgo, you could easily plan the whole wedding reception, wedding day, and wedding after party yourself. You pay attention to every little detail and nothing can stand in your way of planning the perfect day.
That being said, you can't do it alone. You will burn yourself out and take away the joy of taking in your wedding!

If she can't notice the small stain on the carpet of your potential venue, she isn't the one!

Your creative and expressive ideas for your wedding will end up getting you over your head and stressing you out. You really wanted the wedding to be a surprise for your family and friends, so you will have to hire someone willing to keep the event a secret.
You might end up getting stuck in your head and forgetting to actually plan a practical wedding, but that is what your trusty wedding planner is for, right?
