Hair bride or Veil Bride?

That is the question! It prompted me to think about the many questions a bride must ask herself when planning her special day. Indoor or Outdoor? Traditional or Modern? Updo or Down? It is delightful to be a part of helping every bride make those decisions. There are brides who know exactly what they want, and then others that definitely need more guidance in deciding all the major as well as minor details of their wedding day. Then throw in the mother, the groom, mother of the groom and you've got more opinions flying around than you know with what to do! As a consultant and coordinator, it is my job to help guide the future Mrs. through these decisions. It is my desire to listen carefully and guide her to make the decisions that will make an everlasting impression on her, her groom and all the guests at the wedding. I have spent several years developing relationships with vendors so that when my customers come to me with ideas for the ceremony, I can direct them to the vendors that best fit their ideas and preferences. I can introduce them to just the right photographer, caterer, and vendor that best fit their needs and desires. And it is an enjoyable process. Do you want a romantic, outdoor, sunset wedding? I can make it happen. Is your heart leaning more towards traditional? I can make it happen. Are you looking for a destination wedding? Let me help you plan. It's what I do best. I enjoy it. It's my passion.

Why hire a wedding planner?

There are so many misconceptions about hiring a wedding planner. The main one being that you cannot afford one! Hiring a wedding planner is more affordable than you might think. It is an investment in the best day of your life! When you hire a wedding planner, you are saving time and money and eliminating stress. A wedding planner has many ideas on how to save money. She also know the vendors in town that fit your budget, taste and personality. You are getting her recommendation on which vendors are trustworthy and will give you the best service. And the best part is, your wedding planner will be with you on the day of your wedding to answer all the questions people would be asking you (if you don't hire one), taking care of all the last minute details and giving you the comfort and reassurance you need to make the best day of your life even better.

Making your guest list

I had a bride ask me the other day, "We are on such a small budget. Do we have to allow our single friends to bring a date? What about out of town guests? We think many of them are not coming, but we're not sure." How do you decide on the "A-List" for your wedding? Who makes the cut? Well, for one thing, you are not obligated to allow your single friends to bring a date. It is nice for your wedding party, but not neccesary for all your guests. I feel it's okay to call out of town family and find out who is coming, if you don't already know. Of course, I like to be very straightforward and practical. Most people will tell you to plan for 70%, but in reality, more like 50% of your invited guests actually come. There are different ways to look at it, but ultimately you must look at your desires as well as your budget. If you really want an intimate, small wedding, keep it that way. If you want to invite everyone you've ever known, then do it. Make room for all sets of parents to invite their guests, though. Most of the time parents want to announce that their son or daughter is getting married. Most importantly, if your wedding is still months away, don't stress about the guest list, yet. You have plenty of time to work on it before the invitations have to be ordered and sent out.
