Wedding Planner Tips
While choosing the dress most brides have a fixed idea of what they like. My advice is to be open-minded and try other styles as you might be surprised and find an unexpected revelation.
In planning seating arrangements ensure you are aware of any relatives or family members that might have tension between them. Carefully plan their seating to avoid stress or conflict on the day.
Always make a list of things you would like and stick to it, its far too easy to go over budget when you do not.
Do not worry to much about the big day, everything will come together as planned.
Even if you have a limited budget, consider hiring a professional wedding planner for "On the Day Coordination" service. This will ensure that everything is proceeding according to your plans.
If you are wearing a high neck wedding dress, try going for dangling earrings and a statement cuff or if you are wearing a sweatheart dress, a simple necklace with a small pendant will look amazing!
