Hiring a Wedding Planner is incredibly useful because wedding planners communicate details of the entire wedding together seamlessly. If a bride chooses Ivory Events Full Service Planning Package or Partial, the Ivory Events planning team will begin to assist by creating inspiration boards for couples for each aspect of their wedding. During this phase, the Ivory Events team is very involved including assisting with ceremony decor, bouquets, reception, arch, vases, and centerpieces. With a couple’s theme and color in mind, Ivory Events assists with coordinating with the florist along with a budget for florals including negotiating, getting a floral design proposal for the couple, and then sending it back to the couple for decision making. The dedicated Ivory Events planning team also assists with setting up a time to discuss with the couple about each of the proposals from florists. If brides select a Day of Coordination, the Ivory Events planning team typically refers couples directly to the florist and assists with guiding couples through the process as needed.
We also asked the talented floral designers at Painted Primrose for their helpful reception planning advice. Painted Primrose designers suggest, “And when you’re talking with your fiancé, consider all the options.” Flexibility can also be a way to avoid any unneeded hurdles during planning, advising couples to ask themselves, “Do we really want our big wedding, do we need to be more flexible?” Painted Primrose encourages couples to focus on communication for the reception, “Focus on communication! With your partner, with your vendors and with your guests!”
Painted Primrose advises to continue communication over to your other vendors as well. “Make sure when you’re talking with your vendors you read the contract, know what you’re agreeing to, and make sure to ask about cancellation policies.”
