Pick the Venue

Having an event planner that has thrown weddings in your chosen venue before can be a great help when it comes to the logistics of party planning. Your wedding planner may have insider tips and know exactly who to communicate with at the venue to get things done. Even if your planner has not worked with your venue before, they can be your advocate for making sure everything runs smoothly.

Stick to the Budget

Planning a wedding is an expensive venture, and making sure you can afford your event planner is a critical step in choosing the right one. While you want a wedding planner who is competent and capable, do not blow your wedding budget choosing someone out of your price range.

Save the Date

Be sure that your wedding planner is available for your date. One of the last things you want is for your planner to be absent or running back and forth between other weddings on your big day. Having their familiar face around will bring comfort on your day that everything is under control.

Planning a wedding can be stressful but yet so fun. Before you choose your event planner, decide what is important to you and find a planner that fits with your needs.

How a Tent Can Transform Your Event

Multi-story tents can add some excitement to the event. It will make it easier for people to get excited about attending. Plus, the structures remain semi-permanent, so they can be taken down or left up for a significant period of time.

Consider Adding Sides

Our outfit for our relative’s wedding

This is the gown I wore on our niece’s wedding day. Look at my lovely daughter’s gown. Isn’t she lovely in her peach long gown? Our outfits were accentuated by crystal brooch (for me) and gold necklace for her. Both gowns and accessories were provided by the bride.

 

The gown, by the way, is called infinity dress and made of spandex-y fabric. You can easily style it in which way you want. We got our style from a YouTube tutorial. I chose the style for myself to cover my big arms. 😀

Oh pardon the blurry picture. This was taken by hubby outside the Immaculate Conception Cathedral of Cubao where the wedding ceremony took place.
