Diary of a bride: First thing’s First!
Monday, August 3rd, 2009So, the planner is becoming the bride. I used to steal the J. Lo line to explain it to my clients that “Those who can’t do, plan,” and then I went and got myself engaged! He’ll probably wake up the morning after the wedding freaking out, but for now, we’re just excited about our future together. As the word spread, everyone was telling me how easy it must be since I probably know exactly what I want…WRONG! I like to think I do what I do because I can take any style and make it beautiful for a bride (or at least it helps me sleep at night).So where do you begin when you have no clue? Any event needs to have some consistent theme running through it. It doesn’t need to be blatant, but you want things to flow if you are going to wow them!
I started with some very complicated tools- a pen and a sheet of notebook paper. I made a list of the things that made us, us. Places and activities that meant a lot, quirks about him and me, funny moments, etc. Then I went to everyone’s best friend- google. I searched image key words for inspiration and came up with this inspiration for my design.
I won’t bore you with all the details, but along the way, I thought I would send out how I’m doing things, to help you. From one bride to another, some things will be easier than others, but before you get started know where you are going. OH! I know you are wondering, so yes I do have a planner and day-of planning services booked. I intend to enjoy my day! We’ll talk soon.
