I really had high hopes to write every day about wedding planning. It did not happen so here we are almost to February. I cannot believe it. I do promise to post at least once a week and hopefully more. I am committed.

YOU ARE ENGAGED! Congratulations! Thanksgiving to Valentine’s Day could be called the engagement season. The majority of engagements will take during this time… I want your wedding planning experience and your wedding day to be fun, fabulous and very low stress!

The wedding planning information highway is full of websites, books, blogs, and experts on the subject. There is no need to panic, however, do take a breath, get out a tablet or computer and starting making notes and taking notes.

My process starts with making sure couples know that the planning process is going be fun. We ask them what are the most important elements for their wedding day and planning experience. The list usually includes but are not limited to great food, reception location, dress, favors for the guest, a favorite song, a special tribute to family members that are not there, etc. Then we start the conversation about the investment that will be made for the wedding. I believe the earlier this conversation is had the easier planning can be. It is important that you spend wisely and by taking the time to think about what you want makes this much easier.

Our topics will include wedding style and formality, guests, date and location for the ceremony and reception, bridesmaids and groomsmen, your investment and what things cost, who pays for what, wedding insurance, marriage license, vendors, stationery, photography, videography, flowers, fashion and beauty, dress, music, registry and honeymoon, and everything in between.
