Even the most experienced planner has a team for the purpose of making everything happen as it should. When you are trying to save a few dollars by DIY mentallity, it can cost you with the memories of the most important day for yourself or for your daughter depending.

My expereince of planning my own daughters wedding was no exception. I had it all planned to the second and knew my timeline was under control and how much time I had for each task. Here is the problem, who is going to set up, tear down, and cooridnate all the vendors on the day? You are, of course. By doing so, here are the things that you will not have time for: hair appointments, manicures, pedicures, helping your daughter get dressed, seeing her before the ceremony, placing her veil on her beautiful head, having pictures taken with her while she is the happiest she may ever be. And guess what, who is going to help you complete that timeline for the DIY wedding? Other family members who also want to be part of the big day.

I have three pictures with my daughter on her wedding day. After setting up all moring and rushing home to get a quick shower and getting dressed, my husband and I rushed back to the venue. (Now remember, I have not seen my daughter all day through any of the things that she has been doing). Photos had already started, people were rushing me and I had not yet seen my daughter. The first picture of my daughter and I was when I placed the cathedral veil comb in her hair and that was just the back of our heads. One picture, of course this moment over powered my emotions and the tears flowed and my makeup that I had rushed to put on was now a mess and then it was time for the next picture. It was of my husband, daughter and I. To say the least, it is not that great of a shot. After everything is over and we are taking the professional shots, we have one with the family and the bride and groom, this is a pretty good picture, but still, I only have three picture with me in them with my daughter for the entire day. It certainly was not the day we had thought it would be.

This occurred at the beginning of my planning career, now of course, I know better. But I am sharing this tale with you to emphasize the need to hire the appropriate planner to help you with the details of a wedding and certainly the day of items that will definitely need to be handled.

Remember that these memories will only happen once and you need to take the time to enjoy them. You will never get this special time back.
