The Reason I Plan

Image
This is why I do what I do.... I provide information to Brides & Grooms-to-be because I know firsthand how exhausting and overwhelming it is to research information while planning a wedding. I became a wedding planner because I absolutely adore weddings and I enjoy the "behind the scenes" planning that comes with it. I know that it may sound crazy, but I enjoy doing the research, preparing time lines, drafting agreements, visiting vendors, and maintaining order at events! Not to mention that I have a knack for organization!! I like to have a plan and a list for everything!! I even keep a list of my lists! I like to know (1) how things will get done, (2) who will do them, (3) when they will get done, and (4) what are the resources required for them to be done. <--That is how you plan a wedding. I work with and for the "Working Woman". I provide budget assistance and maintenance, and I provide assurance and peace of mind. I plan weddings for the ...

The Attendants

Image
http://www.zazzleweddings.com/Be-My-Bridesmaid.php   Your Attendants, or as they are commonly referred to as your Wedding Party, can be as large or as small as you like. Choosing your attendants may seem like a no brainer in the beginning. He pops the question, you say YES, you call everyone you know, and the next thing you know--you have 8 Bridesmaids! How did that happen?? It happened because your friends/family said, "I'm going to be in your wedding, right?" and you said, "of course!" It was not until three days later that you have realized how many people you invited into your wedding party. It is quite common to feel obligated to have certain people in your wedding (even if you are not close to them). However, it is your (and his) day so you should surround yourselves with people who are supportive, loving, and genuinely happy for you. Some of those described may be friends instead of family and that is okay. Choosing Your Wedding Party Think a...

What are they talking about? Wedding Terminology

Image
When you are planning your wedding, you search the Internet, you look through tons of magazines, and you talk to a lot of people. That is the fun part! But then the vendors start to use terms that are unfamiliar to you. Do not be intimidated if you are not familiar with wedding terminology...after all, this is your first time planning a wedding!

Budget? What Budget??

The Budget...we hate it, but we have to set one. I am a firm believer in staying within your wedding budget as closely as possible...after all, you do have to live after the wedding, right? So, how do you determine your budget? Budgeting is by far the first thing that you determine after saying 'I Do'.  Figure out how much money is available now--how much money have you saved for your wedding? How much money was gifted for your wedding? Check your wedding fund! No money saved? No wedding fund? Then think about this: Do you and your fiance' need to start saving? {Tip: open up a wedding savings account} How much money can you afford to save? Will either (or both) of your parents contribute? How much are they willing to contribute? Who else will contribute to your wedding? Do you need a $50,000 wedding or will a $10,000 wedding suffice? Determine the amount that you would like to stay at (or below) and stick with it! Determine your 'must haves' and cut...
