Wedding Planning
One of the first most important things to do when starting to plan your wedding is to establish the budget. Brides come to me with tear sheets from wedding magazines that show, often, very extravagant high end weddings. While they are truly beautiful, they are often out of reach for many brides. You need to education yourself to the market in which you are planning your wedding much as you would if you are new to an area and were planning to buy a house ~ you need to know what the average cost of a house will be
~ not the national average but the average where you live.
I always like to start with the budget. After we have a realistic working budget, I ask the bride to prioritize each category: are flowers the most important or is it the food? Once we have that accomplished, we can move on with the knowledge in the back of our heads of where we want to spend our money.
Two areas where are think brides get added value is: lighting and linens. Lighting can transform a room from just average to warm, romantic and stunning. Linens offer a great bang for your buck. They enhance the look of the flowers and the room tieing everything together.
