Yes it is normal! Its going to get worse the closer you get…and unfortunately the anxiety gets much worse a week or two before the wedding. You will feel a HUGE relief when it is all over.
If you can, hire a coordinator to take care of things that come up last minute. Also make lists of everything that needs to be done and don’t be afraid to ask people for help. Good luck!
I don’t think it’s going to get worse so much as you are going to have good days and bad.
Some days I coast along feeling that everything is going according to plan, some days I’m rushed trying to work out an important detail.
The beginning is tough because there is SO much to do, just before the wedding is hard on you because you are trying to make sure all of your planning is going the way it should be.
It’s a lot! But from what I hear – so worth it!
It may be normal for you, everyone is different. I didn’t experience any anxiety over it (other than worrying about falling on my face!), so I really can’t say it’s normal for everyone.
Don’t worry too much, get a checklist of all the things that need to be done (theknot.com has a good one), get organized and don’t be afraid to ask for help. You have bridesmaids, family, not to mention your fiance who can help, you don’t have to do it alone
