Soon after getting engaged, most brides become emotional and excited about planning their dream weddings.
Many want to plan it on their own without a professional wedding planner, and grooms typically don't mind taking an active role as well.
You should let your groom know if you want his help and delegate; he may not volunteer if he thinks you want to be involved in every detail! Picking out wedding favors, tablecloths, and decorations and "going it on your own" can be a personal and self satisfying experience.
However, deciding whether or not you should hire a wedding specialist is not so straightforward and can't easily be decided with a simple yes or no.
Many factors and elements need to be considered and will influence your final decision.
A professional planner is familiar and knowledgeable with the local wedding circuit and usually possesses a lot of experience and know-how.
They bring creative ideas to the table, and offer a sense of organization and attention to details.
Because of their experience in the business, they will likely have good contacts and relationships with vendors and service providers.
Over the years they've learned what to expect, what to look for, and how to negotiate to your best advantage.
Be realistic and consider how much time and energy you really have to devote to your wedding planning.
Ask yourself if you can rely on close friends and family to help out occasionally.
Planning a wedding can and should be fun, but you'll have to remember to be fully prepared.
From selecting wedding napkins to choosing a cake, there are literally tons of endless details.
And you'll need to accomplish all this while staying within budget.
Arranging, organizing, and coordinating logistics can be overwhelming.
Someone needs to supervise the various vendors and service providers you hire.
If you do employ a professional, how much would you want to be involved with the planning? And how much can you budget for the services of a wedding specialist? Many wedding planners charge a percentage of the cost of your wedding, which can quickly get expensive.
If you're planning a destination wedding and your venue doesn't offer their services as part of the package, then you should definitely consider budgeting and hiring a local wedding professional.
Try to find the most experienced one since it can be quite difficult to plan a wedding from afar.
If you do have friends or family in the area that can help out, then you may be able to do a lot without hiring assistance.
Although people have busy lives and demanding careers, many brides and grooms don't want to miss out on the excitement of planning their own wedding.
If you are talented, creative, diligent, and organized, you may be able to achieve professional results.
When you look back at your wedding photo album and see fabulous decorations and a beautiful venue, you'll know that it's thanks to your efforts and hard work.
So think it through, weigh the costs and benefits, and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages.
The most important thing in the end is that you have your dream wedding!
