Getting help to add your special details!

Wow it’s been a long time! Family life has sure kept me away from keeping up with the wedding industry but I’m slowly getting back some time as the kids are getting a little older and keeping themselves busy. Only having a few weddings this summer has actually been nice giving me more time to focus on the kids and add more details to the weddings I am coordinating. It’s amazing how many details you can add when you have the time. This past year I have actually been thinking back on my own wedding since our 5 year anniversary is this July and realizing how many mistakes I made on our big day. Overall I really didn't care about the details at the time - I just wanted to get married!!!! For some reason my main goal was to not have anyone work that day so I didn’t have any setup/details for anyone to do. Little did I know my family and wedding party would have loved to help me decorate and add details to make my day special. I wish I would have added the chair ribbons I wanted, and the ceremony decorations, and the extra centerpieces, and the favor table, and the cocktail table area and the kid area. But I didn’t because we didn't have a lot of setup time and I didn’t want to put anyone to work. My advice to all brides, put your "people" to work or pay the extra $100-$200 to hire someone (watson events) to come do your setup. It’s worth it in the end and you won’t regret not doing the things you wanted. Make your day special with the extra touches you want, it’s worth it!
