Although most brides wish to have a perfect wedding since nobody wants to end up having the worst day of their life while they celebrate their union. Sometimes it is also practical to be realistic and accept that things may not always go as plan.

Yes, you have planned to wear your mom’s dress since you were a kid, but it may not be as what you expect it to look like while you are fitting it on. You may also have bought your crystal bridesmaid jewelry set, but forgot to consider the type of dress for them to match.

Keep in mind that while you are planning your wedding, mishaps my happen. The best to beat it up is not to stress much about it.

The Cost of Hiring a Wedding Planner

March 11th, 2010

Although some couples may feel reluctant to hire the services of a wedding planner, but there are great advantages to hiring one. Some couples may even argue that having a wedding planner will add up to their wedding budget, but there are also great savings one can have by having one.

As most weddings, the average cost of having one will let you spend around $20,000 and more. And most wedding coordinators ask an average price of 10 to 15% of the total cost of your wedding that is around $2,000 to $3,000 for their fee. Now, do not think that this fee is expensive though. Think of it as money well spent.

If you are going to do all the planning by yourself, you will need to spend 200 to 300 hours formulating, planning, and executing your plans into actions. And because you are a first time bride, you may not know how to start or where to start. Having a wedding planner at the beginning of the wedding planning will save you all the trouble of finding the right venue, the right caterer, florist, photographers, and vendors that you think will help for the wedding. She may even help you finding the right crystal bridesmaid jewelry set for the girls if you are having a hard time finding them.

Creating a List for the Shower

February 15th, 2010

The bridal shower has always been a great stress reliever for the bride especially during the later part of the shower where she can already feel the pressure and stress of everyone and everything. The bride may even be confused on what type of crystal bridesmaid jewelry set to give, and giving her a bridal shower can help her release all the stress she is having.

Your first task is to create a list of whom she wants to be included in the shower. You may not be able to know some of the names she wishes to include so it is better if you will ask her. Her list can include her high school and college friends, intimate family members, some girls from the office, her bridesmaids (of course), and some close neighbors.

After creating the guest list, now comes the planning of the place. You have the option of doing it in a home or you can just rent a place such as a restaurant or a bar to celebrate the occasion. If you are just going to have a small party, then you can consider doing it in your home or at a home that will make all the guests feel comfortable. Do not forget the theme of the shower. Like a brunch with friends or a barbecue bridal shower, and more.
