Less Stress, More Fun
Weddings are notoriously stressful thanks to the many details and many personalities involved. Hiring a wedding planner to be present at your wedding celebration will allow them to field the stressful situations while you focus on looking your best and enjoying the unforgettable moments. Creating a buffer between you and the chaos will help you look more refreshed and radiant in your wedding pictures.
Picture Perfection – Timing the Day
Few couples realize how challenging it can be to keep a wedding on schedule. A skilled planner can time the day perfectly and communicate to everyone involved about what needs to happen at what time so that you have the time you need for the wedding pictures that are important to you. A photographer can only deliver you images they’ve been given time to create. When the schedule of the day is upset by any number of unexpected factors, a wedding planner can help get things on track and make sure your wedding experience is one you can remember with joy as you look through your beautiful wedding pictures.
Save Money without Sacrificing Style
Designing an event to reflect your personal style and taste comes at a price, but it doesn’t necessarily need to be a high price if you have a great wedding planner. Planners are experts in wedding economics, and they can bring many ideas to the table that you might not have thought of on your own…Ideas that give you great style at great savings. Also, many planners can save you money when you’re booking your other wedding vendors because of their established relationships with various caterers, florists, and photographers. The look of a professionally designed wedding shows through in the wedding pictures and helps to authentically tell your love story with style and sophistication.
Wisdom & Experience
Beautiful weddings don’t happen without a considerable amount of time and effort, and an experienced wedding planner knows all the nuances and details that must be attended to for an event to run smoothly. Hiring a wedding planner at least a few months in advance can help a couple identify small details that are easily overlooked, and there is no substitute for their wisdom and experience. A photographer is not at your wedding to be in your face, taking charge the events of your reception, or coaching you on how to cut the cake without making it fall over…your photographer will thank you if you have a planner there to do what a wedding planner does!
Peace of Mind
The best wedding planners know that their job is to design and execute a wedding that fulfills your personal creative vision at the budget you have set, not to take over and do their own thing at your expense. Hiring a good wedding planner will benefit you from start to finish, from helping you make important decisions about your day, to keeping your wedding events on-schedule, to wrapping up the straggling details once you’ve joyfully waved goodbye to your guests. It will give you peace of mind to know that a professional is there to assist you every step of the way, and it will create the best possible environment for your photographer to create amazing and creative photographs of your wedding.
DID YOU KNOW :
Confetti is Italian for sweets which in Italy are thrown over the couple as they emerge from the Church in that same way we use paper confetti. Before the use of paper confetti the married couple were showered with flowers, petals, rice or grains. This was to bestow prosperity and fertility on the couple. Raisins and nuts may also be used but rose petals are the best although they do not fly as high!

The Wedding Cake
Cutting the wedding cake is now part of the ritual celebrations at the reception. The couple make the first cut together to symbolise their shared future.
Cakes have been associated with weddings throughout history. The Romans shared a cake during the wedding ceremony itself. It was a plain confection made from wheat flour, salt and water. The Fijians and Some Native American tribes still incorporate cake in the wedding ceremonies.
It is said that unmarried guests who place a piece of wedding cake under their pillow before sleeping will increase their prospects of finding a partner and bridesmaids who do likewise will dream of their future husbands.
The top tier of the cake is often kept by couples for the christening of their first child.
Joking ! A simple photograph of the wedding cake in a classic wedding album will do just fine, therefore the importance of photography.
And in the morning off to distant countries for your honeymoon- We will have travel bags and tickets ready for you.
Did you know : “honeymoon” is thought to originate from the times when a man captured his bride. The couple would hide from the bride’s parents before marrying. The couple would remain in hiding for a further cycle of the moon after the wedding. During this period they drank honey wine.
In Scotland the custom was for a woman with milk in her breasts to prepare the marital bed to encourage fertility in the newlyweds.
In Ireland a laying hen was tied to the bed on the first honeymoon night in the hope that some of its fertility would be passed on to the couple. Eating a double yolked egg was also thought to bring fertility.
WOW …. in any case enjoy!
