You consider yourself an intelligent person. You are known for your organization. You’ve read all of the books and articles on wedding planning that you could find. You just know you can do it. After all, nobody knows better than you what you want. I mean, a wedding is just another event, right? Wrong! A wedding is not just another event. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something special. My advice is, take the stress out of wedding planning: Hire a professional.

Some people have the misconception that hiring a wedding planner is tantamount to loosing control of the situation. Contrary to popular opinion, a professional will not take the joy of wedding planning away from you. Neither will they impose their will on you. They are simply there to take the stress out of what could be a very stressful occasion. You, your parents, your in-laws and even your intended, share an emotional commitment to wedding planning but your concept of what is ideal can be very diverse. A professional will take charge of the wedding stresses to help you to decide what is best for you. They will be offer objective, solicited advice and can steer you away from many unimagined pitfalls. They draw on their experience when choosing everything from the florist to the photographer. They often remember things that you would very likely overlook.

Most couples can successfully plan their wedding. And everything seems to fall into place – right down to the last detail – until about the last fortnight before the wedding. This is the critical period – the time when things really start to fall apart and everyone starts questioning and criticising your every move. Because of the emotional detachment, a professional will understand that the wedding planning is all about you – not your mother or your mother-in-law to be.

The fruit of successful wedding planning is not that nothing goes wrong. Rather, wedding planning has been successful when the happy couple does not know all of the things that did go wrong and neither does any one else. These true professionals serve as the bridge that unites your dream wedding and your wedding day so seamlessly, that you cannot see a difference. One cannot help but wonder that Murphy’s law and in Finagle’s Law that “whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way” was said of weddings! But in spite of the truth of this adage, the bride, groom and wedding guests can be blissfully unaware of all of the near misses that accompanied the “perfect” wedding.

Are you still considering planning your own wedding? Don’t do it. Err on the side of caution. Let your only headache be finding the right consultant to work with you. Only then will you be rest assured that you will have all of the pleasure but none of the headache of a perfect wedding.
