Wedding Basics

The thought of planning a wedding from start to finish can be overwhelming in itself. For those who have not planned a wedding before or are thinking about it, let me just refresh your thought process and give you some hints to getting on the right track to having a fabulous wedding no matter what the budget.

I call it the SMILE approach.

Simplify- Take the tasks that you find the most overwhelming and seek help from qualified professionals that can ease your mind and your stresses about that particular job.

Mingle- Take the time, and I don't mean hours upon hours, to get to know the companies you would like to work with. If you narrow your choices down to a few options. You can go through their information and decide the best fit for your needs.

Imagine- Use your personal vision to guide your style and design of your wedding and reception. It doesn't have to be elaborate, or over done, a basic theme is enough to get started, like choosing your colors, time of day to get married, and time of year. Choosing the place will eventually become the canvas of your wedding and with the ideas you share with your wedding team, even if its your mom and best friend, the vision will fall into place.

Learn- Keep your mind open to new ideas and professional guidance from the companies you hire to complete your wedding day. Make sure you hire real and competent professionals that you feel can deliver the services you want. Check out their past work, read some referrals, make sure they carry insurance and business licenses. And most of all, learn their individual service approach to ensure you have a great experience.

Experience- You've done the leg work, you've hired your wedding team to make your day happen. And now you should experience the wedding you envisioned. To get to this part of your SMILE experience you have to ask yourself, ' how much time can I or am I willing to take to plan my wedding. If I were to take off from my job to do this, how much money would I not be earning with the time I spend on the planning process.' If this doesn't cross your mind, then perhaps your Experience is meant to be part of the work to put your wedding together. Or if you find the task too daunting, time consuming, or just plain confusing, I implore you to Experience your wedding with great planning and services from the people you hire. Whether it is with me and the Events By Dezine team or with other fabulous professionals in the area, my hope for all the brides out there is to have a SMILE Approach and a SMILE experience.
