One of my favorite resources while planning my wedding, and before I was planning a wedding, and I still read them now that I am not planning my own wedding but hopefully am helping with YOURS, is A Practical Wedding. Meg's book was the first wedding book I bought, and the only one I read cover to cover and referred back to repeatedly. I could sing them praises all day long. They get it. The understand that not everyone can spend on their wedding what they would spend in 30 years paying off a mortgage. They understand that weddings don't fit into a perfect little cookie cutter form. And they are a large part of why I want to be in this industry.
I want to work with you, not because I want to throw some lavish party on your dime, but because I want to find an affordable way for you to get hitched and have a wonderful time doing so.
I don't believe in the nonsense that you MUST. HAVE. EVERY. LITTLE. DETAIL. PEEERRRFEECT.
Yesterday I had a meeting with a couple I am working with and their potential caterer. This was the first time I was meeting the groom so I asked him what was important to him on his wedding day. He said first that his dog was there, and second that he just wants it to be a fun party with good food. He then made a great point that often when you are planning for a party for a long time it becomes this hyped up thing that you think will be amazing, and yes it's fun. However, the best parties always seem to be the ones where a friend calls you at 5 o'clock and says, come over, let's have a party!
As your wedding planner, I want to help you to not over-think yourself to death in the wedding planning process. Let's see what we can do to save you some cash and throw an amazing party to celebrate your lifetime commitment to another person.
And because, what's a blog post without pictures? Here's some of the pretties I've been drooling over lately (click on the images to go to the sources):
