Work With a Consultant to Plan you Wedding

Steps

1

Step One

Tell your consultant what your budget looks like. Be firm about sticking to this budget. You can break down the total budget into how much you will spend on the dress, the cake, the flowers and other wedding items if that is easier.
2

Step Two

Select colors for your wedding. This will help to tie in the flowers, dresses and other pieces of your ceremony.
3

Step Three

Use examples to show your wedding consultant what styles you like. You should ultimately make all of the decisions, but it is your consultant's job to show you your choices.
4

Step Four

Meet with your consultant weekly as you near the wedding. If there are any problems that can't easily be resolved, your consultant should be the one to handle it.
5

Step Five

Make sure there is a seat for your wedding consultant at the wedding and reception.
6

Step Six

Pay your consultant the balance of what is due after the wedding is over.

Overall Tips & Warnings

  • Shop around for the best prices in wedding consultants.
  • Be friendly and polite, even when things go wrong. Your consultant is on your side!
  • At the wedding and reception, your consultant is working, not a guest. If anything goes wrong, like the bar running out of beer or the food not being cooked correctly, your consultant is the one to deal with it.
