Plan Your Dream Wedding Today

Hey BABES! Today we are talking about the top 10 reasons you NEED a wedding planner!! There are so many great wedding planners out there that work with all kinds of budgets, and I 100% think this is the very first MUST DO on your wedding planning list! Why? Check out my top ten reasons below!

Reason #1: Realistic Budgeting – The VERY first thing we like to do is go over the wedding budget.💵 We look at anything and everything that is going to be involved with the event and we talk about how much it’s going to cost based on guest count, what YOU want, what time of year, etc! All of these details factor into how much you’re spending, and we are experts at maximizing budgets of all sizes to give you the wedding of your dreams!

Reason #2: Vendor Relationships – When your wedding planner has been in the industry a long time, they build relationships with ALL kinds of vendors! They know the best-of-the-best🥇 in every category of vendors, and we know what vendors will match your personality and your budget. We’ve built trust with our vendors and we can be confident they will do a good job for you on your most important day!

Reason #3: Wedding Day Coordination – This is a HUGE relief to your friends and family on your wedding day. Wedding planners are at your event to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. BRIDE BABE – YOU should be sipping champagne🥂 and getting your hair done, and not be worried about what’s going on with setup, vendors, or anything else! You need to relax and enjoy the day – it goes by so fast and we want you to be able to soak up every minute!!

Reason #4: Staying on Task – This is one of the most important things a wedding planner can do for you! There are A LOT of things to get done, and it is important to keep on task and to do things in the right order!📝 For example, time-sensitive things MUST get done first, even though the “fun” things are what you want to focus on! Wedding planners know how to order tasks appropriately to get everything done before the big day!

Reason #5: Creative Ideas – This is the reason a lot of brides hire me! Coming up with the most fun, creative, and meaningful ideas for YOUR special day! Having personal touches make your wedding day different from just an everyday party!🎉🍾👰💒💫

Reason #6: Logistics Planning – In order for your wedding day to flow seamlessly, there is a lot of logistics going on behind the scenes. This can be things like your wedding day timeline we help you create, your floorplans that we lay out, your seating charts…all of the various elements that go into your wedding day.📒 We are working on those things behind the scenes and communicating those plans to your vendors so that on the day of your wedding, everyone is on the same page!

Reason #7: Remembering the Little Details you Forgot – We remember so you don’t have to! We have a wedding checklist with ALL. THE. THINGS. so you don’t have to worry about forgetting a big or small detail!✅ Did you order the garter? When should you get your marriage license? Do you have a plan on how you are going to get your luggage to the honeymoon suite?? These are just a few examples of all details we have covered so NOTHING falls through the cracks!

Reason #8: Emotional Support – This is a BIG one! Weddings can be emotional! Yes, this is the happiest day of your life! But, there are families coming together, clashes of ideas, there’s a lot of money involved, and oftentimes things can get a little… heated!😬🔥 We are here to diffuse the tension – we have seen it ALL. Wedding planners are able to mediate and find solutions that keep everyone happy!

Reason #9: Vendor Contract Review and Negotiations –  This is NOT legal advice, if you didn’t know, I am NOT a lawyer!😜 But with my years of experience as a wedding planner, I am able to look at contracts for venues or vendors and go over them with a fine-tooth comb. We figure out what is missing prior to you signing to make sure that nothing has been left off, and that everything that the vendor promised is reflected in the contract so there are NO surprises along the way!

Reason #10: Help Narrow Down your Ideas – We will help you go through those Pinterest boards, ladies!! Many times, Brides come to us and have been planning this day in their head (or on Pinterest) for years and they come with ALLLLLL the amazing ideas!💡 This is where we SHINE!🌟 A wedding planner can help curate down your vision and steer you in the right direction so that your day ends up being even better than you could have imagined!

Listen, Bride Babes! Your wedding is a one-time event.💕 Working with a wedding planner creates such a special bond. I know that with my brides and my grooms and my sweet families, we become like a FAMILY at the end of the day and we are there for each other. I want my clients to know that I am there for them throughout the WHOLE journey, not just on the wedding day! When you’re working with a wedding planner, it’s so important to pick someone that is going to be a great fit for you and your personality! You should pick someone that you can see yourself going on a journey together. It is an emotional journey and the HAPPIEST time of your life – you want to share that with someone that is going to be your advocate, be your emotional support, and HAVE FUN WITH on this journey!🤗🎉👰

HI BABES!

I hope you all are having the most glamourous day and gearing up for this over-the-top glam wedding I’m about to show you!

The real wedding I’m recapping today is DOING 👏 THE 👏 MOST 👏 in all the best ways. Think modern Great Gatsby, but better!

It had stunning touches of Art Deco details, paying homage to the historic Statler Hotel where the reception took place.

Guests entered through a floral tunnel and were greeted with floating champagne, a floral wall, crystals raining down over the dance floor, fireworks, and video mapping on a larger-than-life LED screen to name a few details!

Is it just me drooling over these images? 🤤 What was your favorite part? And, until next time…

Kleinfelds anyone? Let’s face it. No one is saying no to that question, but if you are, let’s chat!  Much like the host, Randy, my experience was larger than life, and sharing the details with all my “Bride Babes to Be’’ is what you didn’t know you needed, until now. I cover everything from brass knuckles, yes—you read that right—to emotions running sky high and plans changing.

Let’s start with the detaining! We were on our way to the Big Apple and low and behold, someone happened to have some bedazzled fake brass knuckles stowed away in their bag.  SHOUT OUT to my cousin Charlotte!  She completely forgot about them, but that would slip anyone’s mind, right?! Airport security means business, fake or not, but she was finally released and skirted in just in time for hair and makeup so we could begin filming.

Meeting Randy for the first time really set the tone for a fun day of filming. He and the phenomenal stylist, Ellie Kirke, took me around the store to see it all and gave me a sort of litmus test to see how far was too far. I knew I wanted unique and fun but was having the hardest time. They knew exactly what to do and the try-on journey began.

Dress #1 was sooo intense. A black and white striped HUGE gown that didn’t even make it out of the dressing room. If there was a line, it crossed it and I wasn’t about to cross it either…

Up next was a scalloped top, black and white detailed Mark Zunino gown. Pretty, pretty, pretty but not the dress for me and it never made it out of the dressing room either.

Dress #3 was a dress that was so over my budget—I so didn’t care—and so had to put it on.  This Zuhair Murad dress was sheer and way too risque, but it was surreal to have it on and was one I had been eyeing for months. When I walked out, everyone was shocked and it felt good to know it wasn’t the one. BUT, Babes, try all the dresses. You might walk in thinking you want traditional and end up with edgy because it feels and looks practically perfect.

I loved the Pnina Tornai that was next in line, but mom said it made me look like a superhero and that I needed a cape to fly down the aisle at my wedding. I couldn’t get that thought and vision out of my head, so it was a no, nope, not happening.

F-I-N-A-L-L-Y another Mark Zunino made its way into my dressing room. Black and white stripes down the center. Flattering. Not too much and Oh So Chic. I felt like I was on my way to an art gallery opening and I just knew it was perfect. When I walked out, my family’s reaction was exactly what I needed and I felt a sense of relief. They were all crying tears of joy…well everyone except my maid of honor. She felt it was more of a reception dress. Cue the mini-meltdown. In my mind, it was artsy/edgy/different. Exactly what I had envisioned. Did I mention the mini-meltdown? I think all brides have one, two…ten. No judgment here. Anyway, I ripped my microphone off and mom and I had a chat. We both agreed that this was a “Once in a lifetime” event and to just Go.For.It.

I said YES to the dress…the reception dress that is! It wasn’t in my original plan to have two dresses, but plans change and you have to remember that it is ok!

Fast forward a few months and I find out that my episode is airing before my wedding. Say what? Pardonne moi? Come again? And also…hold please while I figure out how to respond.  It was a true internal struggle. Do I get upset?  Do I care that much?  Here’s the deal. I couldn’t change the air date so why not do what I do best—throw a party! The Joule terrace was the perfect setting paired with champagne and cupcakes. We added to the fun by having everyone guess which dress I picked before it aired.

What an experience! Saying “Yes to the Dress” is a feeling like no other and I couldn’t wait to share mine with all of you.

To see my featured episode, you can find it on iTunes—Season 14, Episode 16. It’s titled “Not Afraid to Try New Things”. TLC also airs the reruns.

And until next time…
