10. Thou Shalt Keep The Bride's Eye on the Prize
Some bride's can be easily overwhelmed and distracted. Whether it's the phase for a salesperson or wedding planner...always be able to bring the bride back to reality. Bride's see it all, want it all, begin to cry, want to scream....sooo unless you want your hard work to fall by the 'wayside' you better fine tune ways to minimize distractions.
9. Thou Shalt Not Let The Bride Over Shop
Dear Wedding planners and salespeople...it's so totally important that the couple is aware of what they are spending the ENTIRE time! I work on the no surprises method...clients prefer it! The honest truth may hurt BUT it's the honest truth!
8. Thou Shalt Keep An Open Mind
When you're so totally sold on things you've seen in a magazine or on a website, you seldom like much of anything else! What you see on someone or done for someone may not be the right fit, so start with what you want and work from there.
7. Thou Shalt Leave The Past Behind
Relying on garments, stationary, or venues from your past wedding is NOT the way to move into what God has for you in the present and future...
6. Honor Thou Mother And Father Up til a Point
Yes we should listen to our parents...honor them even...BUT sometimes it's important to be respectfully clear and tell them the budget and ask them to stick to it. Parent's make you invite people you don't know and can sometimes make you spring for the premiere package when deluxe was more your speed. Find the balance....
5. Honor Thy Bride's Opinion Over All Others
It's hard sometimes when other ideas make better sense...but above all else it comes down to what the couple wants! When it concerns the dress the bride is going to wear...the decision is left up to the bride ONLY. Not parents or friends...
4. Pick Thy Wedding Posse Carefully
OMG...you don't want your wedding participants fighting like cats and dogs or making your event more stressful than it has to be....you want people that are team players and understand the wedding without a hitch is the goal.
3. Thou Shalt Not Bring Thou Fiance's Ex
Umm so this was solely based on an appointment during the season...lol The new bride brought the old more attractive ex girlfriend to her wedding dress appointment...like where they do that at? The ex girlfriend didn't like ANYTHING the bride tried on...and kept saying little comments like I know he won't like that on her...I remember when we were together and blah blah blah, he don't spend money like that on blah blah blah...So rude!!!! Umm yeah if you're friend's with your fiance's ex that's on you, but don't let that person dictate your wedding plans.
2. Thou Shalt Not Covet A Dress Outside Your Budget
If you're pulling dresses for the bride, don't pull dresses significantly out of the budget range! Remember they still need alterations, undergarments, shoes and jewelry and if you bust the budget completely open on the dress, something else will lack. Luckily for the groom, if all of your groomsmen rent from one place, the grooms tux is free and free is everyone's fave price.
1. Thou Shalt Leave Thy Fiance at Home
Now this is a matter of preference...but Lori believes no rooster's in the hen house (had to double check that I had that correct lol). Men can sometimes steer the bride away from the vision she had for herself trying to please him....so unless the groom is totally sold on whatever you want and less frequent with his opinions is he welcome in my opinion.
~Happy Born day to my wonderful 13...Miss Joy Marie Johnson! Oh how I love her so, God is so good for bringing her into my life-she's super busy because she's this grand MIT engineer in heels but the times we're together are just perfect!!!
