Working Bride

One of the first blogs I check in the morning is The Wedding Experts she had posted this a while ago, and I just loved it! It really shows why one of the most growing trends in the industry is hiring a wedding planner. There is just so much to do, so many details to focus on - and honestly unless you plan parties for 150-1000 of your closest friends all of the time, the details can be life-consuming!

This graphic from Glamour Magazine [part of a series of of most annoying co-workers] says it all. In fact, I have always found it very interesting that the heaviest traffic time on BRIDES.com is on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2pm-4pm. That is when most brides are [supposed] to be working!!! Any of you who have planned your own wedding, worked with someone planning a wedding or had someone working for and planning a wedding understand this all too well.

Wedding planning is all-consuming, all encompassing on every level - emotional, relational, financial, etc.It is the single largest [i.e. most expensive] life event that most people will ever host or have hosted on their behalf. Be aware and respectful of the single focus most of these clients have - it really is ALL about the wedding for the months of planning - exciting, stressful and thrilling all at the same time!

I think that anyone that has had a job with someone that was planning a wedding is all to aware of this scene.
