I thought it is a good idea to convey very useful views of wedding professionals (wedding planners, photographers, make up artists, hairdressers, vendor etc), relating to future brides. Εxtracts from discussions in www.bridal tweet.com, where I am a member.
” I wish Bride and Grooms understood the cost of amazing, professional photography! A lot of girls have no idea how much professional light equipment cost, liability insurance, insurance on you equipment! Do you know that just 1 professional lens can cost anywhere from $2,500- $4,000? If a photographer does not have these type a equipment, your images could suffer greatly! I try to educate everyone I can to reassure them they are making the right choice when they chose Alternative Life Photography & Design! Cheers everyone and happy tweeting!”

” I wish brides only knew the importance of hiring a good wedding planner. Most brides look at planners as an extra expense, but when you factor in the time and money you can save by hiring a planner that has the contacts and resources on hand to make your wedding run without a hitch, not to mention the huge burden of stress that a planner can help to relieve, there really should be no other way to go! “

” I would really like when brides come to me with a scrapbook of hair accessories that they like. I have had over the time that I have been in business found that only a handfull of brides know what they want. This is a bit fustrating for me the designer, when they say to me “You will Know if it suits me”, Hello, I am the jewellery designer not your best friend since you were a child! I have only just met you!!!”

“On the whole I believe that Brides should have a good idea of how they would like to have their hair styled around 4 months to the wedding, this then gives not only me the designer and the hair stylist a chance to give them ideas and for me to actually have the hair accessory ready for the final hair trail. ”

” I so wish brides would follow their own hearts! Friends/Family members really complicate things when a bride consults too many people and then becomes confused. Most of the time those friends/family members aren’t actually trying to follow the brides wishes, and put their own opinions into play. The bride becomes indecisive and has so many regrets.
That is the one thing I wish that brides knew…
Make your wedding YOURS “

” Brides should have a time line. Often they come to me before they have a venue selected. Selecting the venue, garden, home residence sets the tone immediately. Immediately they can deduct from the budget they have.
Then seek out a reputable caterer who should do a walk through of the venue and get a sense of the brides style and personality. A good full service caterer can help select a budget friendly menu with a variety of options.
Please know the difference between a buffet dinner and a sit down dinner.
Please be realistic about the budget – don’t just guess and be honest when about what you have to spend and not play games by saying you only have $10,000.00 when you actually have $13,000.00
Don’t waste vendor’s time by price shopping every where and then believing you are an expert”
…………………..
” Brides need a condensed version of things they needs to do and know before talking to their first vendor or trying on their first wedding dress. The number of brides who come into my store thinking they have plenty of time to buy/order their wedding dress with only two or three months before the wedding are under a big misconception. Brides need to be seriously thinking about purchasing/ordering their wedding dress at least nine months before the wedding to insure ‘on time’ delivery and with enough lead time just in case there is a problem with their dress. Problems do happen about 10% of the time. Waiting until the last minute not only limits the bride to her choices, but also adds additional rush cut and rush transit charges. And when a bride waits until the last minute, this will also greatly impact the bridal party who also now have to rush cut and rush ship their dresses.”
