HOW TO AVOID A WEDDING DAY
CATASTROPHE
(P. 3)
"Sometimes
in working with a couple where there are
uncomfortable family situations, we decide to
give a floral corsage/boutonnière to the
stepfather, stepmother or grandparent. I often
remind the bride and groom that 'it's only a
flower' and sometimes a little thoughtfulness
can help to heal bad feelings. If nothing else,
it will help to create a positive ambiance for
your event and show that you are doing your part
to make things go smoothly for all."
"Planning a
wedding is a little like 'doing the marriage' as
all the emotions and situations that a couple
encounters in an actual marriage will come up.
The bride and groom will find themselves
(possibly for the first time in some cases)
dealing with budgetary issues, emotions, parent
participation/interference, priorities,
negotiating, scheduling, planning,
organizational skills, and handling stress —
just to name a few. A good coordinator can
assist the couple in dealing with issues
responsively and keep the lines of communication
open."
"Keep your
wedding coordinator appraised of any changes in
your schedule. One bride who lived in Los
Angeles had planned to drive up to the Bay Area
on a Friday with her dress. To her surprise, the
alterations were not complete by Friday. She had
to wait through the weekend and into Monday of
her wedding week before departing. Not only did
this cause her unnecessary stress and anxiety
just before her wedding, it completely threw off
the rest of the wedding schedule. Vendors,
guests and wedding party members all had to be
notified, schedules had to be rearranged, etc.
It was stressful for all and could have been
avoided with a few simple phone calls. Remember
to include your wedding coordinator at every
step of the way, and you'll always be sure to
have a seamless event."
