{Planning Tips} How to decide if you need a wedding coordinator?

You're engaged!  Once the excitement settles the planning begins.  Don't get overwhelmed - the trick to achieving your vision is to get organized and stay grounded.  To decide if you need help think about these questions.

Do you already have a pretty strong game plan or are you at a loss for where to begin?  Do you already have your venue picked out, along with several key vendors?  Do you have a clear idea of your style and the type of decorations you want and where to get them?  Then perhaps you can handle planning the details on your own.  But if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed after just flipping through a bridal magazine, you may need a wedding planner to coordinate your entire event. 

What about day of coordination? Who will make sure your place cards for the reception seating arrangements are in their proper places?  Who will look after your favors and make sure your centerpieces are set the way you wanted?  Who will make sure the flowers from the ceremoney are transported to your reception?  Who will make sure that your clothes are put where they need to be for your departure?  Who will property secure and/or transport your wedding gifts from the reception?  Who will make sure that select decor or items go home with the right family member or friend?  Not sure of the who can take care of ALL the details? 

Pretty Little Planners offers Wedding Coordination for all types of brides - whether you have no idea where to start or just need an extra set of hands and eyes the day of.  Your coordinator is an extension of you and will make sure everything is picture perfect {like the details below from The Knot}.

Inventory Feature: Tiffany Blue Sofa

We at Pretty Litte Planners love all things pretty and vintage!  I think Audrey Hepburn is amazing and have always been a fan of her movies.  She was beautiful, classy, and had a great sense of humor!  What better way to show our love for her and one of my favorite movies - Breakfast at Tiffany's - than a feature on Prairie Sage Events Tiffany Blue Sofa!

"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles." - Audrey Hepburn
