I agree that most brides do not comprehend the full benefits of a wedding planner. On the flip side, I completely understand how this could be an area to cut back on if the budget is extremely tight. I read in one of TheWeddingReport.com reports (I…

I think a wedding planner is for people who can afford it, not everyone can afford a wedding planner. If you have a reasonable budget and the time to do it, then maybe with help from friends and family members you will be able to put it altogether.…

Personally, I recommend to all of my friends to get a wedding planner.  Wedding planning is extremely stressful and it is easy to become overwhelmed.  A wedding planner will help you stay on track and also help you keep your sanity!

I just read a great article about getting beat down by clients who don't see the value of the service at Hey Gorgeous Blog, and this one comment really stopped me in my tracks: Such a shame.  I highly recommend reading the whole post and…

I think wedding planners prove to be quite a help in the wedding arrangements. Whether, it’s a Christian wedding or an Indian traditional wedding, the ceremonies of the wedding are bound to make you feel tired to the core and lessens your time…

Wedding planners charge an arm and a leg to help with your preps, but I recently found a cooler and cheaper way of doing it. Im a working bride-to-be so i needed something fast and easy to help in my planning. I came across a wedding website that…

Hi everyone, I love this discussion.  Here is another twist in having a wedding planner.  I am a professional bridal consultant" A minor part of my training is counselling.  One of the things I courage couple to do is counselling…

I'm seeing a lot of wedding professionals in this discussion who aren't Wedding Planners giving the thumbs up for clients to hire a Wedding Planner.   As a Wedding Planner, what can we do to help you educate the brides on the benefits…

Paige Ramsey Photography replied to the discussion 'Do you think Wedding Planners are useful?'
I think it depends on your wedding.  My wedding for example, was NOT large enough to need a planner.  I EASILY was able to do it myself ... from 900 miles away at that.  However!  I am also in the industry... so maybe I have a…

Juanita Gaynor replied to the discussion 'Do you think Wedding Planners are useful?'
I have been in the industry for awhile and did not truly understand the value I offered a client until I planned my own wedding; I was stressed, upset and almost fired my bridal party. I did not get to enjoy the "Big Picture" because I was…

Lindsie Wagner replied to the discussion 'Do you think Wedding Planners are useful?'
Oh! I agree. I hired a coordinator because it was really the best decision I could make. I'm just saying it's unfortunate that some coordinators give the job a bad name by using unethical business practices. It's a real problem in my…

Janis Flagg replied to the discussion 'Do you think Wedding Planners are useful?'
I always pass these discounts along to the client and I believe that is what most coordinators do as well.  The only exception (hasn't happened yet) would be when the wedding is on a very short notice and the guest list is huge!…

Lindsie Wagner replied to the discussion 'Do you think Wedding Planners are useful?'
I just wrote a post on this today. I think in many cases (like mine) hiring a coordinator (or planner) makes sense. But I don't think it's necessary, and I think that brides can save money without a planner. Also, it really irks me that…

Latest Wedding Trends

I am talking to more and more brides and my colleagues and am finding out that the latest trend is the DIY Bride. Since the economic downturn, many brides are downscaling their wedding dreams by either cutting certain services, cutting down on the guest list or just doing everything themselves.

My hat goes off to the DIY Bride. I applaud their efforts in creating their dream wedding and at the same time saving money. However, there is one thing that is a troubling trend that no one talks… Continue

About Destine 2 Design: Destine 2 Design studio is a Design Studio that specializes in Custom Invitations for all Occasions that fits right in your budget. After searching for Custom affordable Wedding Invitations for her own wedding, Nicola Haggins had no luck finding Invitations at affordable prices that she can customize within her budget. Noticing that there were no Invitation Studios that worked with your budget was frustrating so Nicola decided to create her own. Then the idea to start her own Invitation studio that is budget friendly came to life! An invitation studio that allows the customer to set their prices by setting their budget first."The thought of turning a client away because the invitations are too expensive is crazy to me “Every customer can get a custom invitation, and can comfortably afford them. Destine 2 Design offers payment plans to cover Invitation cost."Venues and florist set payment plans why not have payment plans for Invitations" Nicola has been designing fun, festive invitations for years for Family, friends and referrals
