wedding planning

A wedding planning or bridal consultant is a service profession who assists with the planning, organizing and implementation of weddings and related events. A wedding is a legal ceremony joining two people in marriage. The legal requirements for a wedding include a marriage license and an officiant to perform the ceremony. There are approximately 2.5 million weddings each year in the US with an average budget of $20,000 making it a $40 billion a year industry. Studies indicate that 1 out of 2 brides will use a wedding consultant, planner or wedding day coordinator.

The wedding planner can manage vendors like cake bakeries, bridal salons, photographers, videographers and florists. The wedding planner usually works for a flat fee or a percentage of the wedding budget. The wedding planner is often responsible for managing the wedding budget and keeping deliveries and expectations on track.

Because of the popularity of weddings, there is no lack of active blogs in the wedding marketplace online. Style Me Pretty offers an elegant and upscale look at weddings as well as news.
