I posted about Pinterest about a year ago and have become even more obsessed with it since then 🙂 Check out my Wedding Inspiration and Bridesmaids boards for ideas! http://pinterest.com/carrielove49/
First Things First July 10, 2011
So you just got engaged – what’s the next step?! I am sure your mind is spinning with the thought of all of the decisions you need to start making – start here!
- Plan an engagement party (or one of your friends will 🙂 )
- Pick a date (and make sure to do your research on your specific city for dates to avoid)
- Find a reception site – they book up fast!
- Engagement pictures
- Set your budget
- Find a wedding dress
- Make a wedding website – so nice for your guests to go to one location and find all the info!
- Start your guest list
- Consider a consultant– my personal favorite 🙂 Whether it is planning help or just day-of coordination, it helps!
This may seem like a lot of things to do right in the beginning, but trust me, you will feel the weight of the wedding planning world come off of you once you nail these few things down. I am happy to help with any and all of these areas and more! Contact me today so I can get you on my calendar!
Wedding Coordinator to your Rescue! May 9, 2011
Good evening Brides! Hopefully you have had a chance to look at my website and the services I offer. I am ready to take some things off your plate! Whether you are at the one month mark of planning or you only have two months until your wedding, I am sure you are feeling the stress. I truly believe that every Bride should be able to hire a wedding planner or coordinator no matter what your budget is. Having a neutral person throughout your planning process can be priceless – not to mention the fact that I will be the person communicating with your 15 vendors instead of you! I will even have those difficult conversations with your mother and the mother-of-the-groom — they always come up 😉
SO I am here for you girls! Email me with any questions about me and/or my services carolinelove4911@gmail.com 🙂
