Wedding Planning Problems You’ve Already Encountered (and Our Best Recommendations)
Enjoying Your Wedding Despite Challenges
Planning a wedding can be a complex and sometimes challenging process. Take it from someone who has been in the wedding industry for a long time, it’s totally normal to run into a few problems while planning your wedding. In fact, it’s probably safe to expect a few bumps along the road, regardless of how organized you are.
Sometimes the challenges that arise during planning are fairly common. If you’ve found yourself in the middle of a sticky situation, or are trying to avoid one, take heart! Know that things are rarely as bad as they seem at first. For every issue we’ve run into in our years of wedding planning, there has always been a solution– it just may require occasionally thinking outside the box.
We want to share some frequent problems you’ve already encountered in your wedding planning, and how our team can best address them.
Opinion Overload
Do you find yourself overwhelmed with the advice and input of people around you? Even when friends and loved ones mean well, being barraged with opinions can drown out your own unique ideas for your wedding.
Hiring a wedding planner is the best way to immediately gain a whole team of people to back you up. We are committed to executing your vision and are happy to take the heat for not incorporating outside suggestions. We can also occasionally step in and help guide key family members to understand the intention behind what you’re planning.
Unexpected Difficulties
We would be mistaken if we didn’t recognize that life is full of unforeseen challenges, especially in planning. Despite your best efforts, sometimes things pop up at the last minute, whether it’s a health emergency or a poor weather forecast. You also most likely are doing school/work/family things which take up most of your time. The last thing we want is for you to feel like you’re working a full time job titled “wedding planning” on top of everything else.
Our team is full of seasoned wedding planners who think quickly on their feet. We are always prepared with backup plans, whether it’s an alternative venue or a substitute vendor. Regardless of the crisis, we will take the stress off your shoulders and create a solution.
Mismatched Design
It’s easy to fall into the trap of feeling like you have a lot of fun ideas that bounce in different directions, but all seem worthy of incorporating into your wedding design. From there, your plans can quickly feel “frankenstein-ed” together and lose all sense of coordination.
A wedding planner can help avoid this issue altogether. From the very start, we focus on creating a cohesive design for your big day. We understand your vision on a personal level and are experts at bringing details together to create a seamless experience.
Communication Challenges
Between coordinating multiple vendors and making all the venue arrangements, there is a lot of communication that goes into a successful wedding. Miscommunication is a huge challenge that requires a lot of dedication to avoid.
An easy way to make sure all parties involved in your wedding are on the same page is to invest in a professional planner or coordinator who will take care of it for you. We live and breathe weddings, and clear communication is our forte.
Planning Stress
The pressure associated with weddings is a lot to handle on its own, but when paired with the stress of making sure everything is done perfectly, it can be overwhelming. This is especially true if you’re on a tight timeline and are worried about all the details being in order.
Our wedding planning team isn’t afraid of a looming deadline. We help you tackle your to-do list so you can focus on being present and enjoying the moment.
Hiring a wedding planner is an investment in your peace of mind. Your wedding day should be a beautiful and special experience, unmarred by the stresses of planning. Our team is prepared to have your back through the entirety of the planning process, including any challenges you may run into.
