<p>I wish that Brides knew the time and hardwork that someone pours into every HandMade Wedding Accessory, especially if they request for something to be tailored to their specifications. A Bride who is looking into getting accessories customized must appreciate anything handmade in the first place, to understand the tedious research on the product being customized, the difficulty or accessibility in gathering materials and the time spent (usually hours) in making the vision come to life. Oh,…</p>
<p>I wish that Brides knew the time and hardwork that someone pours into every HandMade Wedding Accessory, especially if they request for something to be tailored to their specifications. A Bride who is looking into getting accessories customized must appreciate anything handmade in the first place, to understand the tedious research on the product being customized, the difficulty or accessibility in gathering materials and the time spent (usually hours) in making the vision come to life. Oh, not to mention the communication between the handmade vendor and the Bride! The vendor must know how to ask questions and get the Bride to visualize because most Brides don't even have a clue what they want, but they start with their Wedding Colors. This has been a challenging task as a Bridal Garter/Hair Accessories designer but it's exciting! I love taking the Bride's input and magically materializing her ideas! It makes the Bride feel important to know that she was a part of the creation process. Now hopefully they understand sticker-shock prices for handmade, remember, this is NOT a mass-produced item. It was made with a 110% love and perspiration.</p> Bridesss!

<p>Hi Shannon, You made an interesting point but really do brides even *know* how much flowers & decorations even cost? </p>
<p></p>
<p>I remember when I was shopping for my wedding (shhh 22 years ago) and I was sitting across from the florist and she asked me "what is your budget?" I honestly had NO CLUE. I had no idea of the names of the flowers she suggested. I basically just told her the colors I wanted and no carnations - that was it. </p>

<p></p>
<p>I ended up with a $200 bridal bouquet because she had used 7 Orchids and I don't know what else LOL.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Boy do I wish I had the internet 22 years ago planning my wedding!! So with this said, I suppose brides could research and *should* research the costs of flowers & decorations before seeing a florist. But maybe many aren't so saavy to research. </p>
<p></p>
<p>As wedding vendors, we are constantly educating each and every client. Teaching them A to Z.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Just my 2 cents. :)</p>

<p>I wish couples had the knowledge to be able to tell a real professional string group from a semi professional group! With every quote I send out I attached a document I have compiled giving information on what to look for when you are booking string musicians. Whether they book with us or not I need to give them this information so they can make an informed choice!</p>
<p>Many semi professional musicians have FAB websites and look like they are professional - it is SO wrong!!</p>

<p>I think that all of us who are Wedding Planners should band together to come up with ways to change the stigma of being an extravagance. I read somewhere that a bride spends the equivalent to 7.5 40-hour work weeks to plan a wedding! With a planner, who knows how many weddings we could plan in that amount of time!! We also have to get rid of the "made for TV" stereotype as well.</p>

<p>I wish brides and grooms knew that a professional planner is there to save them not only time, but money as well. For some reason planners have a rep of being thieves in the night.</p>

<p>I wish brides knew how stressed out I was before EVERY wedding and how hard it is to smile all day long and act like nothing is wrong when in fact your day is falling apart...somehow though we always pull through in the end despite total disasters throughout the day :) </p>
