The job of planning weddings is fun. As with any other job in this world, however, it's not all boating. Planning a wedding with the expectation that it will be a day of eclipse by everyone else can take incredible time and effort to say nothing about stress and worry! There are ups and downs, periods of great joy and times of immense stress and pressure. Weddings are events you dream of: some brides have imagined walking down the aisle in a pure white dress and a tiara for 30 years or more! It is definitely a challenge unlike any other you may have encountered before. And when you add both work and a hectic, social pre-wedding to the equation, appearances often seem monumental. It is an honor not to be taken lightly.
Today, with so much to do and such relatively little time to do, professional wedding counseling is increasingly considered a sensible way to ensure a stress-free engagement and potentially flawless wedding. In the United States, this is the norm: the majority of couples who are getting married use wedding planning. It is a huge industry that provides couples with invaluable service during a period in their lives where stress and worry must be relegated and time is of the essence.
Slowly but surely, couples in the UK are waking up to the realization that wedding planners are not simply a luxury reserved for the rich and famous. Today, a good consultant is just as familiar with arranging a small and intimate family gathering of 12 as an extravagant party of 500 or more. Using their expert knowledge of the industry, along with extensive databases and links to leading vendors, an established Wedding Planner will have the foundation to build a perfect wedding. They give you unlimited access to any supplier in the country that meets your requirements. Unless instructed otherwise, their priorities lie solely on the couple, their wedding goals and the very important budget. And when you find a consultant that you trust and feel comfortable with, you can rest assured that these elements are managed wisely.
The very best wedding planners possess a diverse set of skills. They are extremely practical, versatile, knowledgeable and resource-rich. It is their job to help both the bride and groom during the big day. The day itself is the Bride who is in the middle of the stage while the Wedding Planner is working tirelessly in the background.
Wedding Planning Process
As with most wedding consulting companies, we usually start by sitting with the couple to learn exactly how clients look for them, their wedding day evolves, from the moment they wake up in the morning to the time they leave the party in the middle of a explosion of fireworks at the end of the night. Although we often see the groom shaking away from the initial planning process, we always try to encourage his input. It is important to try to get him 'on board' as early as possible, because you can be sure that 2-3 months on the line - when many of the big decisions are made - he will start to show interest and realize that maybe this wedding lark is not as boring as he first expected! Regret is a terrible thing and something that we only learn about in hindsight!
