How a Bridal Consultant Can Save You Money By Kimberly Bean Planning a wedding can be stressful and expensive. We’ve already covered that and if you’re more than just newly engaged, you’re already experiencing it on your own. One of the best ways to reduce the stress and expense involved in planning a wedding is to hire a professional bridal consultant. It’s been my experience that most brides want one, but simply think they cannot afford a bridal consultant. If your life is already hectic, consider the fact that you will be adding to it the time and money required to put on an once-in-a-lifetime event – your wedding! Financing a wedding can be very difficult especially in today’s economy. If you’re like me, you’ll also agree that time is money! Hiring a professional bridal consultant can save you both. I want to emphasize the words “professional” bridal consultant. I am referring to an experienced individual who has received the proper training and stays up to date on the latest trends. An experienced consultant has been planning weddings and events for some time and has built contacts and a solid reputation in the wedding industry. A professional bridal consultant wants your dream day to be perfect too and she is fully aware that you want it to happen on a specific budget. 52 | SOUTHERN MARYLAND WEDDINGS WINTER / SPRING 2009
