With all the wedding shows on TV, the magazines, the blogs…how do you really tell the difference between a Wedding Planner and a Wedding Designer? OK so here is the breakdown. Event planners are all about the “logistics for the day”. Who is the DJ, when will the florist arrive? How many rooms do I need to block at the local hotel for the out of town guests? Event Designers are all about the “look and feel for the day”. Does this flower go with the rustic outdoor event the Bride wants? Is lighting going to make a difference in the ballroom? What color linens best look best for this type of venue? The Wedding Coordinators that work at the wedding venues are just fine for the day of your wedding but they work for the venue, NOT you and they don’t really have the background knowledge to make suggestions towards the over look and design aesthetics for your big day. Event planners are good for making sure everything is going OK the day of and for getting your vendors in order, but the beauty of an Event Designer is to ensure that your big day has a cohesive and well put together look. From invitations, to flowers to linens and lighting, Wedding Designers get to really reflect you as a couple and to help to tell your story the way you want it. Hope this helps making your wedding day decisions a lot easier.
