Planning your once in a lifetime event
Congratulations! You are engaged and have set the date for your once in a lifetime event. You are ready to create a day full of lasting memories. Where do you start? I am sure you have many questions of where to begin with the wedding planning process. Start by picking a style or theme that fits you and your fiancé. Let your personality guide you as personalized weddings are always a big hit.
There are many options available and decisions to make when creating the perfect day full of memorable moments. The key is to have fun with the whole process of designing your big day. Planning a wedding is very different than planning a birthday party. You have many choices to consider when designing just the right tablescape to reflect your personality, choosing the chairs, linens, favors, menu and of course finding the right venue and vendors to create the ambience you are looking for to add special touches to your big day.
Consider hiring a wedding planner to help with all the details. Wedding planners are a wonderful resource in many aspects of the planning process; they are the encyclopedia of weddings. They help to develop and create the design you envision along with introducing several professional and reliable vendor resources for all of the services you plan to have at your ceremony and reception. They have developed wonderful relationships over years of planning with photographers, videographers, cake designers, florists, seamstresses and many more unique services offered by vendors. Wedding planners specialize in designing and creating memorable keepsakes, wedding etiquette, developing a detailed day of timeline for the entire vendor team to follow along with helping save you time and money. They are there to listen to your feelings and advocate on your behalf ensuring your day goes your way.
How do you select a wedding planner? Personality is a key point to look for when interviewing a wedding planner along with their experience. Most planners offer complimentary consultations to learn about the services they provide which is a great way to get to know their spirit. They are the person you are able to lean on with any questions, concerns and exciting moments during the planning process. Planners are wonderful to brainstorm with and love to help couples create a day with unique alternatives that tells their love story to their loved ones along with creating memories to treasure and cherish throughout their lifetime.
Many couples do enjoy designing and creating the details for their wedding day. If you decide to plan your wedding by yourself consider hiring a day of coordinator to help develop a day of timeline and to be on site for the ceremony and reception. Most day of coordinators are usually available for you throughout the planning process to answer any planning questions that occur before your big day. After putting all the details of your big day together you want to enjoy your hard work and have peace of mind. The last thing you want to be worrying about the day of your ceremony and reception is to be setting up tablescapes you designed, answering questions for vendors, breaking down the décor or any other planning logistics before or after your ceremony and reception. The day of coordinator will be your vendor team leader, executing all of the details you planned, ensuring your day runs seamlessly without any stress to you or your guests. Enjoy your special day as the bride and groom with your family and friends.
