PLANS AFOOT...
This week we find out what wedding planner Tiffany at Every Detail has been up to. Based in London, she has the creme de la creme of suppliers and venues at her fingertips, but being spoiled for choice is not always easy!
Tiffany’s Advice
With so much choice and competition in London, my negotiation skills as a wedding planner have to be hot, hot, hot. I do believe in paying the right price for a service! If you feel that you’ve been quoted over the odds for a service or product, then have a chat with the supplier, be it photographer, venue, cars, and tell them what you are able to pay and what you believe is reasonable. They’ll either try and discuss the pricing with you further or refuse to move. I wouldn’t suggest you agree to pay what you believe to be too much – as you’ll begrudge them and your decision all the way through to your wedding day
Nice Idea
With spring in the air, I have had some fragrant thoughts. Have you thought about what scents will you both be wearing? Whenever you wear it again in the future it will remind you of your day! Additionally, choose scented flowers and bring a fresh aroma to your wedding reception. I always recommend some scented flowers in the bathrooms – but if funds don’t stretch, use lavender instead!
A day in the life of a wedding planner
I had a busy weekend, with a wedding on a Sunday, which is becoming as popular as Fridays. It was was one of my all time favourite weddings so far. The couple were madly in love! They had a small budget and we worked really hard in getting it right without over spending. When everything was ready, I looked around and felt extremely proud, not just because of the work we’d put in and accomplished, but because I knew that when the bride saw it for the first time it would be exactly as she wanted. Big budgets aren’t the be all and end all of a fabulous wedding. It’s the thought, consideration and above all the couple's love that make the day.
I must admit, in amongst the feeling pleased and the crying I had some hairy moments too!! The bride forgot to bring her hoop for under her dress. Being a Sunday, I had limited places to go to find one, however, fortunately I had a mobile number for a local supplier. She so kindly met me at her shop and leant me a sample one for the day. Then the venue staff couldn’t find 10 of the chair covers. We looked high and low. I was about to cover the backs of the children’s chairs in pillowcases to bypass the issue, when we found them 5 minutes before the ceremony started. Talk about a close call!
And Finally…
I can’t wait for the competition result to be revealed on the 21st and I find out who I will be helping out on their wedding day. It's great helping couples at the final stages, they’re so passionate about their day and plans. I know my help on the day is invaluable in bringing it all together and being on hand wherever I am needed. If you are not lucky enough to have a wedding planner around on the day, then ask a couple of trusted friends to be on red alert for you. Tell them all the details of the day and ask them to pop in before the reception starts and check that it's all ok. They can also be your point of contact for the evening suppliers. Give them your friend’s mobile number - just in case. My mantra is “the more prepared you are the less likely it will go wrong”.©Elmcroft Studios, Purvis-Gisbourne, Simon-John Photography
