Little Bit of Green

Finding a wedding photographer Lexington Ky during the month of June is very difficult. The best Lexington wedding photographer has to offer is most likely scheduled as much as two years in advance. What is a bride to do? As almost every bride knows, when the engagement begins, so does the planning. There are a number of things to attend to. Will the party be held in a church, reception facility, or outdoors? How many attendants will the couple select? What studio will snap the pictures? What kind of flower arrangements will be chosen? Many brides are finding that their length of engagement is not sufficient time to properly plan their big event. Many times chosen service providers are unavailable on a bride’s selected date. Additionally, it becomes almost impossible to coordinate a large variety of necessary services for one particular date. For most brides and grooms, elopement is not an option they are even thinking about. How should a couple respond? The following are a few suggestions a bride and groom might choose as an alternative to being woefully caught up in the stress of scheduling.

A bride and groom may consider selecting a rarely chosen date for their nuptials. Traditionally, warm weather dates, particularly the month of June, prove to be an extremely busy time for ceremonies to take place. Indications are that September is also an extremely popular time for bride’s to marry. The bride who elects to choose an October date or a weekend in April may just find less of a conflict as she seeks to book a church location, florists, videographers, etc..

A bride and groom may consider the useful skills of friends and family. One way to get around the unavailability of professional service providers is to enlist talented friends to be apart of the ceremony. For instance, do you have any friends in the food service industry? Perhaps they have the necessary skills to help coordinate the food and drinks for the reception. Does your Aunt have an amazing knowledge of floral arrangements and floral design? Can your Grandmother take care of any dress alterations with one hand tied behind her back? Maybe you feel as if you would be taking advantage of your many acquaintances. Utilizing their talents, while finding a way to generously compensate them for their willingness to help, may just solve that conflict. Sometimes friends may provide their services as a gift to the bride and groom.

A bride and groom may consider hiring a party coordinator. If your budget allows, it may be an excellent idea to hire a professional as you tackle the details for your big day. Some brides mistakenly think that hiring a coordinator will leave them out of the planning entirely. This is completely wrong. A bride will still be involved in final decisions but will be free from the mundane tasks involved in the preparations. What a party coordinator may have up her sleeve that a bride may not, is the ability to pull strings. A coordinator may have significant connections with service providers where a first time bride may not.
