What is your favorite part of wedding planning?
Working with my clients and an amazing team of vendors to create a one-of-a-kind design

Not so much a trend, but the idea of bringing the outside indoors.

What is your favorite part of the Wedding Day?
I love it when can do a reception first look with our couples. After months of planning, it's priceless to see the look on their face after it's all setup and before guests enter the room.

Modern Cake for a Modern Bride...

21/03/2018

If you are anything like most brides out there, you wear your engagement ring EVERYWHERE! You wear it when going out to eat, to the beach, in the shower, pottery class, etc. (you get the picture). In the process of wearing it, dirt and sweat will accumulate on your ring making it bling; just a little bit (or a lot) less than when your fiance first gave it to you. To correct this for your wedding day photos, make sure you schedule a ring cleaning appointment during the week right before your wedding. This will be enough time to get it cleaned and ensure your bling is in tip top shape for your big day!

Cheers to a weekend of great wedding planning!!!

If for some reason you are not able to get ready on-site before your wedding ceremony, you should find a hotel that is as close to your ceremony as possible. Unfortunately, wedding days around the world seem to be the biggest magnets of Murphy’s law, where any and everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. Being close to your ceremony venue is kind of like an insurance policy that ensures that even if all hell breaks loose, you will be able to make it to the altar.

{NEW BLOG ALERT // http://bit.ly/BH_WeddingTippingGuide} Let’s face it, it takes a lot of people and a lot of work to pull off a wedding. You may spend a lot of money on rentals, decor or catering, but in most cases, the people doing the real work on-site setting up your beautiful day aren’t the ones receiving your investment. If you happen to have a little wiggle room in your budget, you should consider providing gratuity for those on-site individuals for making the magic happen. Visit the blog for our tips on wedding vendor gratuities!

{PLANNER SPOTLIGHT} Meet Rendy, one of our lovely Bridal Helpline Planners!

What is your favorite part of Wedding Planning?
I love the adrenaline I experience about two weeks before a wedding day. It is an exciting, yet extremely busy time for me in the wedding planning process. I love working under pressure (better yet, I work well under pressure); because this time is used to fine tune ALL of the wedding day details to ensure its success.

What is your favorite Wedding Trend?
I am really loving the idea of allowing grandmothers to serve as “flower girls.” This is a very unique, sentimental idea, and I hope to convince a Bride to do this.

What is your favorite part of the Wedding Day?
The time with the Bride just before her processional is one of my favorite moments. I use this intimate time to provide words of encouragement to the Bride, especially if they are anxious.
​
Why do you love helping Brides?
Planning a wedding takes a lot of “know-how” and there are so many moving parts to make a wedding work. I do not like to see Brides make costly decisions or decisions that waste their time. Even some of my most capable Brides, meaning those who started out without a planner, have been thankful for the help I provided to them during their planning process and on their wedding day.

Asking a few of your more trustworthy and organized friends to be wedding hostesses is a great way to get them involved (especially if they didn’t make the bridesmaid cut)! In this role, they would be responsible for greeting your guests as they entered your ceremony, asking them to sign your guest book, and helping to alert them to move into the reception space once the doors are opened.

When you looking for a wedding caterer and their various menu selections, a lot of caterers list the per person rate for each coursed meal option. This can be somewhat deceiving if you are working with a specific budget and don’t know that the price shown does not typically include tax, gratuity or service fees. These fees range based on vendor, but you should expect to see an increase of at least 20%-30% for taxes, service fees and potentially gratuity. If your budget is very specific, ensure you are accounting for these fees when building your budget.

{PLANNER SPOTLIGHT} Meet Amber, one our lovely Bridal Helpline Planners!


Name: Amber


Certification: Certified Wedding Planner, The Bridal Society
What is your favorite part of Wedding Planning?
The bride's smile at the end of the night!
​.
What is your favorite Wedding Trend?
I love the "false first look" trend. It gives the couple who want to keep it traditional and not see each other the tradition they want and gives them the opportunity to have photos full of emotions. I think the "false first look" also clears their nerves just like the actual first look.
​.
What is your favorite part of the Wedding Day?
When the bride and groom are getting ready in front of their friends and family. I enjoy witnessing them just get to hang out and enjoy their friends. I think this is when they are most at ease for the day.
​​.
Why do you love helping Brides?
It warms my heart helping to create a vision and dream that the bride has had for most of their life.
