However, renting a tent adds an extra expense to your wedding. Choose a weekday evening for your wedding. Make sure all wedding attire fits. For example, if you are holding a 'wine tasting theme', then a finger buffet with crackers, nuts, cheeses and other nibbles goes down well with wine. Types of wedding themes As you can imagine there are jhundreds of themed wedding ideas that you can choose from these days.

If you can find that special person with an eye for decorating put them in charge of having things displayed in the right manner, this is half the battle. The lights are clear type Christmas lights with white cords for easier hiding. Confirm florist details and delivery times. These are basic prices and can be added to depending on cash flow. When it comes to themed wedding party favors, the trick to making sure that you guests love their favors is to pick those that are elegant and in keeping with your overall theme and yet can still be useful after the wedding.
It seems like you cant read a book, magazine or even watch a wedding film without a wedding planner being involved in some way. In fact 26% brides now hire a planner for their wedding rather than doing it themselves. But why are they so popular? Years ago couples were happy for a small simple wedding organized by their Mothers. Now we all seem to need to have planners do the work for us.
Weddings are becoming increasingly difficult with an average number of 15 suppliers to source, negotiate and book beforehand. Brides can spend weeks agonizing over all of the plans and details; trying to ensure their wedding day is wonderful. Films such as The Wedding Planner with Jennifer Lopez have raised the profile of wedding planners, which is why I think has increased the number of planners now being hired.
A professional wedding planner is not as expensive as you may think they are and many offer various packages to suit every wedding budget. In most cases your planner can get discounts from suppliers which will help to make sure that you are getting the
best possible price. And dont forget that every supplier will have been thoroughly checked out ensuring they are professional.
Here are some key questions that you should consider before hiring a wedding planner of your own:
- Do you and your partner work long hours?
- Is your job stressful and overly demanding?
- Do you have to travel very often with your job?
- Are you living outside the area where you plan to marry?
- Do you want your wedding to be handled to perfection with little effort by you?
- Are you worried about putting pressure on your parent for help?
- Do you want a professional touch?
If you answer yes to any of the questions below you may want to seriously consider hiring a planner. But, how can you ensure the wedding planner you hire is professional and experienced? One method that really works is that you can check online for a list of members all of which have been vetted and comply with a code of ethics.
Look at some of the sites and instantly dismiss those with badly designed websites and/or spelling mistakes, if they cannot get their own material correct what hope is there for your wedding? You can also check through people who have used planners to see how their weddings went.
Arrange to meet 2 of the planners for a consultation to see if you and the planner get along well because personality is a huge part of being a wedding planner. They will be privy to personal and confidential issues so they have to be someone you trust. Prepare a list of questions to ask them before the meeting so that you can check their experience and suitability.
Facts to find out about the planner:
- How long they have been in business?
- How many weddings they have organized. Can they provide references?
- How do they charge, hourly, fixed fee or a percentage of your wedding budget? Can you work with this?
- Do they accept commission from suppliers and is it passed on to the client?
- Do they operate on a full time basis or do they have another job?
- ARE they licensed and insured?
- Do they have a video portfolio for you to look at?
What exactly can a planner help with? Most planners have a mix of packages and tailor made services to choose from so it varies by planner. It really is up to the client what the planner can do for them, every wedding is different. Some of the things that your wedding planner can do and should do are:
- Recommending suitable destinations
- Recommending suitable suppliers
- Producing your budget & ensuring you stick to it
- Arranging payments to all suppliers
- Creating a wedding theme and design
- Sending invitations
- Managing the wedding day itself
In the end, the wedding planner idea is all a matter of taste and preference.
