Shopping for a Perfect Wedding Dress?
Selecting your wedding gown involves more than just picking out the best design that you think you've ever seen. Before you confuse your mind with unweighted details such as designers, size, label, etc. Window shop until you drop! Ask yourself several pertinent questions, such as your needs, requirements and your expectations.
A wedding gown should constitute a small portion of your total budget. The money allocated to this purchase should be spent wisely. For example, a gown designed specifically for you is going to be more expensive than a gown purchased off the rack in a bridal boutique. Depending on its style, design, and fabric, gowns range from an affordable price point to those that would cost as much as the budget for the entire wedding. It is always a sound and practical move to have an estimated budget before you approve a design or make a purchase.
"Eight tips to remember when your shopping for your wedding dress: (1) Money Matters, (2) Style and Comfort Should Work Together, (3) Find the Right Gown at the Right Boutique, (4) Create, Compare, and Take Notes, (5) Don't Lose Focus, (6) Purchase Your Perfect Dress"
Shopping for a wedding dress can be a daunting experience. Consider taking a friend, or a family member; or have someone that has already been married accompany you. Their experience may be a good source for great information or advice. Besides, it's another perspective in helping you make a good choice with your selection; it also allows them to share in part for what is going to be one of the most important days in your life.

Should I Hire a Wedding Planner?
A common question among many brides: "Should I hire a wedding planner?" And the answer is yes!
The gain to hire a wedding planner is not based on the wedding budget, size of the guest list, or the wedding theme.
The reality remains: timing is everything! Parents and couples may hire a wedding planner based upon all the details involved for a successful wedding day. Hiring a wedding planner provides another opportunity to the family to enjoy their day that much more. Above all, hiring a wedding coordinator saves! It saves money, saves energy and equally important; it saves time.
Wedding coordinators are working to assist with every detail from your initial meeting up to the departure for the honeymoon. They will assist you with your budget, vendor referrals, negotiating contracts, and focus on the theme you have encrypted as your special day.
We all know planning a wedding is an enormous task and undoubtedly stressful. It's important that you are able to place emphasis on the positive highlights and why this day is important. Enjoy the moments that lead up to the wedding.
Your next question may be: How do I find the right wedding planner?
Key factors: Don’t hire the first person you meet who says she once planned a wedding for her brother, sister, cousin, or aunt. Ask friends or family members that have recently married, search various associations or through online resources. Just remember, a wedding planner should be professional and trained. A true wedding planner does not plan weddings on the side. It's their career. You want to make sure you feel comfortable and this individual is working for you. Many brides have felt as if they were working along side their new best friend. It should be a great experience.
There are independent event coordinators who work alone, and there are those who have turned it into a larger business. Some coordinator businesses include a full service event, wedding coordinating and might even have a store associated which may have everything from wedding invitations to wedding accessories.
I urge all brides to utilize a wedding planner, so that at the end of the day, you can be among those that say, "I don't know how I could have gotten through the day without you!"
