With the turn of the times, women have been more empowered career-wise that planning their own life events has taken a back seat. This career change that gave women so much power and responsibility paved the way to the rise of the wedding planning industry.
But what if you are one of the many brides who want to plan hands-on with their wedding and make the details just as the traditional way.
Should you hire a wedding planner or should you plan your own wedding by yourself?
The answer to the question is both yes, you should hire a wedding planner and yes, you should plan your own wedding. At the very start of the wedding planning process, your wedding planner is your best friend when it comes to getting down to business.
Advantages of hiring a wedding planner:
The Wedding planner creates the initial budget for your wedding. It is important that you talk first to your prospect wedding planner on the vision of your wedding. The wedding planner will give you an estimate on how much your ideal wedding will cost. And from the wedding budget, you work with him / her to achieve your dream wedding all within your budget. Although, you already have a budget in your head, the wedding planner knows the current pricing of the different vendors available to cater your event.
The wedding planner is your ticket to knowing and selecting who among the wedding suppliers best meet your ideal wedding scene. He / she knows where the locations of the different venues, different churches, different wedding vendors. And believe me, in Davao City alone, there are A LOT of wedding vendors to choose from. Your wedding planner will make it easier for you to make a decision by narrowing your options according to what you want, and specifications and details of how you wanted your wedding to be and how it all fits your wedding budget.
The wedding planner will strike the best deals for you. The millennial bride will spend hundred of hours scrumming through Google search on best wedding ideas, dresses, venues, receptions, entertainment, etc. Sometimes, you find something you really really want to incorporate in your wedding but somehow you find it a bit pricey. The wedding planner can negotiate a deal for you and give you what you wanted at a price you would all agree to pay for.
The wedding planner can give you tips, worksheets, timelines, checklists for the important things in your wedding day. A wedding can be very overwhelming with all the little details included in it. It is best to have an organized way of making things and endorsing them to the team of coordinators during the day. This is the most efficient way for a stress free wedding event.These days of technological evolution, it has become more accessible for brides to find wedding inspirations to incorporate in their own wedding. To bridge the gap between vision and reality, the role of the wedding planner is to make it possible to deliver the dream. You have your own ideas and the wedding planner is the best person to ask on what are the ways to achieve your ideas.
With the age of Social Media, image has become top priority that is why the help of a wedding planner and his/her team is crucial in making an image of the dream wedding that you really want to remember for the rest of your life together.
