Professional wedding planners and designers from WEDDINGS
BEAUTIFUL WORLDWIDE (WBW) have lots of helpful hints for brides as they plan
their weddings. While they may not
guarantee a bump free road, some preplanning can minimize the likelihood of
problems on your big day.
*If you really can't afford a wedding designer or have
dreamed of doing much of the wedding planning yourself, consider hiring a
wedding planner that offers a "week or day of" coordinator. Especially if your wedding is large and will
be held at multiple locations, the coordinator can be a life saver and will
insure that all the plans will be carried out without bumps.
*When looking around for a wedding site, consider a single
location for the ceremony, the reception and hotel accommodations. It will not only minimize travel
complications, but may turn out to be more cost effective than having guests
and the wedding party traveling all over town to get to events.
*Attend bridal shows early in your engagement. They can be fun and the source of super ideas
and resources. Don't plan on attending
too many, that will only result in information overload. Pick a couple early on in your planning phase
and then stop.
*Number the backs of RSVP cards to correspond to the guest
address lists. When the cards come back
to you you'll know who has responded and who hasn't, plus
it will help to decipher illegible handwriting.
*If your wedding venue has multiple weddings on your
weekend, check to see what rentals the other brides are using. You may be able to use rented greenery or
tables and chairs at a special rate. You
won't know until you ask.
*Bring extra shoes in your wedding case. You have chosen your wedding shoes clearly,
but you never know. Bring heels, a pair
of wedges and a pair of flats. Heels
have been broken just before the trip down the aisle. A few pairs of footwear options are very
reassuring.
*Pack your emergency kit.
Include tissues, double stick tape, medications, sewing kit, scissors,
band aids, and breath mints. Also tuck
in a single knee high nylon stocking. It
works wonders to remove deodorant marks on dresses.
