Have you ever thought of how a wedding comes together? What kind of planning is needed? Should I use a wedding planner book or a professional planner? When you start planning your wedding these may be just a few of the questions running through your head. The good thing is you need to start somewhere and thinking about this kind of stuff means you are already on the right track.

Many people think of a wedding as a chore or a deadline that needs to be met with pleasing everyone else more important than what you want. The truth is it is your day and you should be able to spend it together enjoying what you enjoy.

The media and movies often portray weddings as nightmares with many people waiting to think of it as a one day boot camp with physical and mental preparation being an essential component. I read an article the other day that suggested the groom should eat small consistent meals throughout the day and have an energy bar or 2 in his pocket in case he needs to top up his reserves. This sounds strangely like preparing for a marathon, not the happiest day of your life.

With that said, a wedding is a large task that takes time and multiple role players need to come to the table to make the day a success. The problem is not everyone is an expert in wedding planning and not everyone knows what to do when it comes to planning their own wedding.

Funnily enough everyone else in your life will seem to disagree with this statement and will have an opinion about everything with regards to your color scheme, food, venue, music, the list goes on … It is as if people are genetically programmed to give you advice about your wedding. If you do not react to these ideas and proposals and are not proactive, before you wipe the dust from your eyes you might be walking into an underwater sea palace as your wedding theme.

With weddings being so expensive these days no one wants to spend tens of thousands of dollars when you can save and still have the best day. You see the wedding industry, much like any other commercial entity, is capitalizing on your preconceived ideas of what day is going to be like. They put large mark-ups on anything that happens to have the word wedding in the title. This is where you have to be clever and know how to get around this and be the savvy shopper, knowing the right places that can maximize your savings.

A good planner book should give you ideas and tips how to do all of this. A wedding planner book should specifically elaborate on the things that you need to do for your wedding. It is essential that it is designed to be flexible for your planning, budget, savings and delegating so that you are able to give your time to the things that need it. I suggest that you look around and try to find something that suites you. There are so many out there these days that you can download quickly and easily, so be sure to think about getting a planning tool to decrease stress and increase your efficiency in planning your wedding.
