Remember when we all dreamed about double weddings? I know Allison (my bff in 2nd grade) and I had plans to extend our playground wedding dreams to real life as soon as we both found our dream men.
Well, just as our friendship has grown and changed since 2nd grade so has the vision of what I wanted my wedding day to be. And you can bet your paycheck that I did NOT have a double wedding. It was MY day! How many days can we say that without looking totally crazy? Not many! It's the one day I can do what I want with colors, tables, food, music, attire, cake, flowers and decor. It's all up to me!
Wait, what? All of that is up to me?! But, I work full time! I have responsibilities, plus I have no idea where to start! Who can help?!
If that sounds like you, then it's time to get a wedding planner! As a planner myself, I know that the people in my profession are capable of helping ease the stress that accompanies your wedding planning process.
Did you catch that? Your Wedding. That's right, this day is your day! If you have visions of what you want on your day, make sure the planner you hire will listen! So often, planners have a vision of how your wedding needs to look. Some even know what vendors you will use before you ever sign on the dotted light. Beware of these planners!
It's good for your planner to have an arsenal of vendors and information about them. It's good for your planner to share creative ideas about the decor and layout of your wedding. But it is BAD for your planner to take complete creative control over your wedding: unless that's what you want, of course.
Most of us however, want to know that our ridiculous love of jelly beans can be incorporated into our wedding tastefully, instead of being completely written off by our planner. I've seen it on the wedding shows. I've seen glamorous high-quality planners step in and completely take over someone's wedding. But in the process they erase all creative input from the bride & groom. Don't let this happen to you! It's your wedding afterall. Make sure you get it your way!
