Tips and Advice
1. What is your vision for your wedding?  What do you want your guests to remember about your wedding?

2.  Prepare a budget and stay within your set budget.  Prioritize what's important to you.  Priorities allow you to be flexible in making decisions on vendors and purchases.  Find creative ways to stretch your budget without breaking it.

3.  Make your wedding personal.  Your wedding should make your guests think about what is so very special about you, the bride and groom.  There are so many ways to personalize your wedding--your choice of wedding gown, venue, event design and many other details.

4.  Although it is your wedding day, be sure to make your guests feel welcome and comfortable.

5.  Hire an experienced, professional wedding planner for full service planning, partial planning or, at least, wedding day coordination.  A professional wedding planner helps you avoid regret about missing this special time with your family, friends and as a newly married couple.   Weddings can be costly and you should be able to enjoy your wedding day without having to stress about details.  Wedding planners free you, your family and friends to enjoy your wedding day!
