Many people plan their weddings with their family and friends and partner, but some people who can afford to splash their cash hire a wedding planner. If you have seen the film “Wedding Planner” that does not always happen, trust me, you need not be worried about your husband running away with the wedding planner.

A wedding planners job is to basically help you take the weight of the wedding of your shoulders and take the brunt of it on theirs, they do most of the organizing you just do the choosing. They are there to help make your day even more special, and make you pay quite a bit more!!

So you've been to your local bookstore, surveyed the rather large collection of wedding books and wondered how anyone even gets through this whole planning process... and why all those wedding planning books are so thick!

This is completely understandable - it is a bit on the daunting side. Planning a wedding is definitely not something you can throw together in a matter of days, and there will certainly be quite a few projects along the way to keep you busy.

But these 'projects' can actually be fun - a lot of fun! And with a plan, you may even find yourself looking forward to them...

1.) Most importantly, keep things SIMPLE.

There will always be another photographer to interview, another centerpiece idea, another wedding favor website. When you find something that "clicks" with you, go with it! You've just crossed off one more thing on your wedding checklist.

Wedding planning is normally pretty intimidating at first and with good reasons. Nightmares of late tux deliveries, ugly wedding cakes and makeup stained wedding dresses could scare anyone catatonic.

The best way to have the "perfect wedding" is to start off on a good foot. You can start planning your wedding right now without spending a dime.

Congratulations! Your big day is coming up and you want to have a memorable and successful wedding. A wedding planner is a very important part of keeping things in order. More importantly a wedding planner helps to keep the timing of everything in order as well.

Timing is the key to coordinating a good wedding. You need to schedule appointments for many people who all have different schedules. Knowing their schedules and synchronizing the appointments will help keep the flow of things going.

A wedding planner will guide you through this process. I have provided a link at the top of this page where you can find the wedding planner that I use. I have planned and coordinated many weddings for many different budgets. I still find the main key is to have this all timed correctly.

Back in the days, renting a wedding dress for that special day seemed completely absurd and out-of-question! Now the dress rental trend is not only fully accepted, but in full swing and widespread among bridal shops across the country.

Brides are simply looking at the practicality of a cost effective way to have that luxurious wedding of their girlish childhood dreams. And what’s wrong with renting instead of buying? In some cases, renting can be one-third the price of buying.
