Why Have A Wedding Planner?

Many people have asked me why I decided to become a wedding planner. They wonder what is the real use of one. Does anyone even need a wedding planner anymore? Yes, they do. And please don't be fooled into thinking that wedding planners are an overpriced luxury that only the really rich can afford. Everyone can and should consult a wedding planner for their big day.

Did you know you can hire a wedding planner to handle only parts of your wedding? Maybe you've got everything handled, but just need some help finding a good florist and photographer? A wedding planner can help you with that.

Want to have a backup location in place just in case that predicted monsoon actually does ruin your outside reception?  We can handle that too.

If you need some more reasons as to why you should hire a wedding planner, check out this article from The Knot.

And please remember to shop around for a wedding planner. Don't just pick the first one you meet. Interview and ask for referrals. You took time finding someone that fits perfectly into your life. Take some time to find a wedding planner that fits perfectly into your idea wedding and your budget.

Wedding First Look

Many couple's today are opting to do the 'first look' before the start of the wedding. While some may still see this as a wedding day no-no, that moment brings with it overwhelming emotions and awesome photos. Just have a look at these pictures in this article from The Knot: First Look

The Art of the Shoe

Just because bridal shoes go unseen during most of the wedding festivities, that doesn't make it any less important. Many brides spend as much time looking for the right shoes as they do looking for just the right dress.

Instead of going with the standard white satin shoes, why not go for shoes that really shoe your personality or even reflect the theme of your wedding?

I have fallen in love with the shoe designs of artist, Nora of Nora Karen. 

Nora hand paints each and every shoe elevating it from mere footwear to works of art!

Custom shoes made just for you! Spoil your toes and make a statement with the many designs that Nora has to offer.
