This letter written to brides and grooms...

PART III


8. It takes WAY more time and money to imitate those DIY projects and wedding inspiration shoots than you think.
We love that wedding porn as much as you do, but it sets up realistic expectations. Wedding blogs and wedding reality TV misrepresent details of what's actually possible for a typical wedding with AN AVERAGE BUDGET... one that doesn't have a team of expert designers and planners working amgic behind the scenes. The media accuses the wedding industry of  encouraging these unrealistic expectations so that you spend more more money. The truth is that we hate it as much as you do!
It makes our job more difficult, and it puts us in the uncomfortable position of telling you, "No", when it can't be done on your budget. 

9. DIY projects are NOT a bargain.
Think you're going to save money by having the wedding in your backyard? When you add up the cost of the tent, rentals, food, booze and silverware, you end up spending MORE than you would hosting it in a traditional wedding hall.  
The same thing goes for your favors, centerpieces and flowers. It's going to take you 10x longer and cost twice as much in reworks and mistakes then you think - especially if you're a perfectionist. 
Please don't choose to DIY your wedding for the savings; make sure you actually like being crafty, and that you can adjust your expectations to accommodate less then perfection. 

10. Your wedding day will not be perfect, but we'll there to make sure it's as close as possible.
I haven't seen a single wedding where at least one thing didn't go wrong. Your bridal party will be late, the weather won't cooperate, or guests will forget to take home those favors you agonized over. There are simply too many details and too tight of a timeline for everything to be completely perfect. But when something goes wrong, we'll be there to help you make it right!!! :-)
