Be Prepared For Wedding Emergencies
Saturday, January 9th, 2010 | Relationships | No Comments
Having a little bag that you can carry (or have someone in the bridal party carry) with you throughout the wedding day can keep you from worrying about things that may happen, and dealing with them when they do.
Medicine
Although everyone is feeling wonderful on the wedding day, it’s amazing what a few nerves can do to the body. Headaches, upset stomachs, and dizziness can all rear their ugly heads right when you are feeling the most pressure.
And that’s not just the couple.
You may want to keep on hand a few things to keep everyone feeling good, or at least keep them upright throughout the ceremony. A chewable or liquid antacid is a great way to calm any nervous stomachs. Crackers and ginger ale are good though too. For headaches, you can keep some acetaminophen on hand. This is usually gentler on the stomach than ibuprofen, and can be taken without food.
If the bride or bridesmaids should feel dizzy, then have them immediately sit down. Dizziness can be caused by a lot of things—low blood sugar, nerves, and more serious conditions. If the bride or groom should faint, smelling salts can help to revive them.
Bandaids are good too for sore feet in too tight of shoes.
Beauty fixes
For the women, you may want to have a few beauty tools to keep everyone looking their best. Spare lip gloss and balm are good to keep the lips looking good. A translucent face powder will keep the nose and forehead from shining. Always keep a small bottle of clear nail polish as well. This is good for fixing rhinestones that have fallen off dresses to sealing tears in stockings.
A small brush and mirror can also help, while hair spray and extra deodorant are also nice to have on hand. Bobby pins can help most hair crises, but a curling iron can be an asset too.
Miscellaneous
It’s amazing what you may need and never think of. For example, did you think to bring extra straight pins for the corsages or in case the bouquets fell apart? A small sewing kit is good to in order to fix up any small emergencies.
Stain remover and chalk are also good to have on hand. If there should be any stains that need removing, the stain remover is there. If there’s something on the bride’s dress, then you can lightly cover it with the chalk—it works great and won’t hurt the dress.

Wedding Planning Services, Flexible to Meet Your Needs
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 | Relationships | No Comments
Any wedding, even a relatively simple one, is going to be a major feat of planning and these days will cost thousands of dollars. It is easy to get hooked up the latest fads and trying to have whatever you see on television. Well, if you are going down that route, why go the whole hog and employ a wedding consultant.
It may not seem logical to add another expense to the list, but have you considered that it could save you money in the long run? Her contacts would mean that she can probably get you better prices on the services that you need. If she is sending them a lot of clients, they will want to keep her happy.
At the very least, she can give you a checklist to work with so that you can book the services you will need in good time. And a good wedding planner will be able to live up to your dreams but keep to your budget.
If you are teeming with ideas but you can’t organize or you just don’t have a clue, your planner can come to your aid. The creative advice can be priceless, but what about all the mundane details? It can be quite overwhelming when you start to list all the necessary elements for a wedding.
If your money is no object, your wedding planning service can handle it all for you. She can use her checklist to make sure that everything has been accounted for and your opinion sought, and then you can leave it to her. Nothing will be missed out and everything in a timely fashion so that it comes together on the day.
However, the scope of the wedding planning service is flexible, with the level of involvement being reflected in the cost. Sure, it would be marvellous to pass it all over to somebody else and drop the stress, but that would be the more costly option. The couple and the wedding planner can agree on the scope of her role.
There may be some aspects of the planning where you would like more control. You might work in the catering industry and be able to arrange that side of things yourself. You might prefer to do most of the practical stuff yourself and just use your wedding planner for artistic ideas.
At least, she can help you with a timeline so that you know when to begin the planning and when to arrange the services you will need. Even this could be an invaluable help making your wedding day a day that you will remember for the right reasons.
