| Worry-free weddings don't just happen! They are the result of an enormous amount of time spent researching and planning. Planning a wedding can be a daunting task or it can be a joyous endeavor. The bride of today may already have a career, a home and little time for organizing a wedding. The average wedding usually takes 200 + hours to plan, yet every bride wants an unforgettable wedding. As the old saying goes, "time is money" and the bride who hires a professional wedding consultant will save time, and money.
Every bride-to-be envisions her wedding day as the day she marries the man of her dreams and the wedding of her dreams. The bride of today can be overwhelmed with her busy schedule, work, possibly college and all the preparations for a wedding. She has expectations, but her mother and friends do too; not to mention the groom who may have his own ideas! How do you plan a wedding? Often a friend will recommend a wedding planner or consultant. But why would you need a wedding consultant? After all you have your mom, your mother-in-law to be, your friends, your aunts, your cousins, etc... Exactly! Whose wedding is it anyway? An experienced consultant will have the knowledge and creativity to create a wedding tailor-made for you. After all, it is your wedding. A wedding consultant is often the best spent money in your wedding. Many brides forgo the cost of the wedding consultant because they think they can not afford it. Surprisingly, it is quite affordable for almost any bride's budget. Professional consulting may be a small percentage of your wedding costs or be billed by the job or the hour. You can expect to pay the wedding consultant 10 to 15% of the total cost of the wedding. Some consultants may bill by the hour or have a flat rate plus expenses. However, the connections with professional vendors will usually net you the savings of 10 to 15%, thereby, you will benefit from her services without paying more than if you tried to do without her valuable services. Often you actually save by using a wedding consultant! Today it is not a luxury but a necessity for the bride and groom. What will a wedding consultant do to make my wedding wonderful and worry-free? At the first consultation you will discuss your individual style, your ideas and wishes. This will be an introduction for both of you, and you will be able to look over her portfolio. You may discuss your budget, the wedding date, wedding and reception site, vendors, and any personal preferences that you may have. You may also plan a future meeting to interview vendors. A wedding consultant will save valuable time in finding the right vendors for the right price. She will have access to experienced, proven vendors in every field. Part of her job will be negotiating a price that will fit your budget. Her expertise will ensure that the bride will have the wedding of her dreams at the price she can afford. She also will be your advocate with vendors and review contracts and details to ensure your best interests. She is employed by you, not the vendors or other professionals. She takes your best interests to heart. Engaged couples often lose perspective on the reality that not only are they planning a wedding, but a lifetime together. The excitement of getting married and planning a wedding can be fun and frustrating. Expectations run high. The bride has visions of her perfect day. This is the day she has planned and dreamed about for a lifetime. The engaged couple have a lot of decisions to make about their future wedding and marriage. Premarital counseling is a good investment for their future marriage, but there are so many things to do for the wedding. This is where the guidance and help of a wedding consultant can make all the difference in your enjoyment of this special time of your life. While stress may be a factor in planning a wedding, it doesn't have to be part of the process. This day is the beginning of a lifetime together for the bride and groom. Often brides are leaving the little details to someone else but the worry of the possibility of a mishap will keep even the most laid back bride from enjoying her wedding day The bride that doesn't have a wedding consultant will often be preoccupied with all the decisions and details. It is not unusual for a tense, stressed bride to be unable to recall the moments she said her vows. The video may be available but you want to be present, in the moment! Why not have a wonderful worry-free wedding? Hire a professional wedding consultant. Some brides meet with a consultant from the every beginning of their engagement. Others hire her for the wedding day coordination. Both are good ideas. The investment you make in your wedding day will be a once in a lifetime event. Call a professional wedding consultant for a free consultation. You will be glad you did, and will find her a treasure of invaluable resources. Cathy Morphew Accents of Elegance 972-941-8587 |
