Brides.....don't DIY yourself to death

It is the last month approaching your wedding......you realize that you have way too much to do. Instead of enjoying the planning and relishing the details of your wedding, you have to run around, get supplies, and beg your friends, family, and your soon to be husband to be to help you finish all of the details. There is just one thing.............you are not enjoying yourself running around like a chicken with your head cut off.  Of course your wedding day should be fabulous, but you should not have to give up all of your time of enjoying the process.

This was me about 8 years ago when I got married.  As an artistic bride, I wanted everything "one of a kind", of course my wedding turned out fabulous and I had a good time, BUT, in retrospect, I wish I would have paid a event planner to take care of those details for me. I admit the idea of an event planner seams expensive, but overall the time and money they save you is worth the little bit of change out of your pocket upfront. You couples out there have wonderful ideas, I am sure you can communicate those to a wedding planner.

Suggestions, keep it simple but elegant. Take a moment to calculate how much time a project will take you versus hiring someone to do it for you. That way on the big day, you are in awe of your own reception and are glad you did not work up to the last second making EVERYTHING!

Happy wedding planning!
