For a busy couple on the go, hiring a wedding planner is a smart choice. If it fits your budget, a wedding planner will save you time and stress – neither of which you have any to spare.

If you are considering a wedding planner start thinking about finding him/her one year in advance. It’s also important when selecting your designer, to choose someone you are comfortable with because you’ll be spending lots of time with this person. Also, get second opinions. The last thing you want is a wedding-gone-bad because of a poor designer. A reputable wedding planner with gladly give out reference names and numbers. If they are secretive about giving out names it may be because their former clients weren’t pleased.

After you’ve found the perfect planner start off with a budget. Without a budget your wedding fees can get way ahead of you. Once the budget is in place you get to start the planning. The planner will help you choose everything from A to Z including, your ceremony location, reception venue, menu, cake, flowers, photographer, videographer, wedding favors and more.

No detail is too small or task too large for your planner. They are there as your personal assistant to make the wedding planning process a joyful and stress-free experience.
Don’t be bashful; be sure to point out all your likes and dislikes, your favorite flowers, and your thoughts for the perfect wedding favors. With a great wedding planner you’ll have the event you’ve always dreamt of!

The 2006 nuptials of Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman to country super-star Keith Urban was a real-life fairytale, complete with an all-candlelight ceremony. The stunning beauty, dressed in a custom Balenciaga gown, walked down the aisle on the arm of her father, followed by a spotlight and surrounded by hundreds of flickering candles.

Sound like even more of a fairytale then the one you dreamt of? You must admit, there’s something romantic and whimsical about the soft, flickering light of a candle. Its glow leaves you feeling passionate, warm and loved and Nicole Kidman’s fairytale can be your own.

Though an outdoors wedding may be a bit challenging to illuminate by candles, a chapel or church is the perfect setting. Just about every church has end-aisle candelabras. Utilize as many of those that are available. Additionally, display candles on the altar, the windows sills, all tabletops and even in the pews. The romance and sophistication of a candlelit ceremony will leave your guests in awe and future brides looking to emulate your big day.

Carry that beauty and ambiance onto your reception with beautiful candle wedding favors. They will not only give your reception that same romantic soft glow, candle wedding favors are the perfect way for guests to remember your big day.

Additionally, candles are an inexpensive way to give that Hollywood movie-star appeal to your fantasy wedding day. From start to finish, your love will shine bright with a candlelit ceremony and reception.

There’s something about a personalized wedding invitation that says you’ve got an eye for detail. Desperate Housewives‘ Bree Van De Kamp (Hodge) would NEVER in a million years send out a generic invite while Lynette Scavo would be lucky to get the invitations out the week before one of the kids’ birthday parties.

Which lady are you? Bree, Lynette or do you fall somewhere in the middle, like, say, Susan Meyer? I mean, it’s your wedding day, give it the special touch it deserves.

When you receive an invitation in the mail what speaks to you – a generic ‘You’re Invited’ card with the What, Where, When and Why pre-typed or a poetically written, beautifully crafted card personalized to the special couple?

Of course the personalized one jumps out above the other. And if it jumps out for you, you can bet it does for your invitees as well. Invitations are your chance to get creative, have fun and celebrate this once in a life affair! Just remember, whether your channeling Bree, Lynette or Susan this is the first time to set a tone with your guests, do so with fabulous, unique personalized wedding invitations.
