Every girl's dream is to have a
fairytale wedding and feel like a princess for the day.
That, however, can be difficult when your intimate
wedding reception spills over the 500 so called close
guests that your parents have kindly invited to join the
celebrations. When it comes to Asian weddings is bigger
necessarily better?
From the sculpted wild orchid flowers to the
five-tiered fountain inspired wedding cake and even the
couture meringue-like wedding dress, which was inspired
from your Rajasthani theme. Every detail, and accessory
has been meticulously planned in the months leading up
to the day with your new best friend, your wedding
planner
Asian weddings vary in size, however small and intimate
is rarely an option. Whether it's a large or small
gathering, the one synonymous factor is the price tag
that is associated with Asian weddings. With the buoyant
marketplace offering everything you could desire for
your wedding, ranging from Belgian chocolate-coated
strawberries, tiered champagne fountains, personalised
table favours to Moroccan inspired Mogul marquees, is it
any wonder why Asian weddings cost a small fortune?
With so much choice and variety in the marketplace
today how do you know what centrepiece will work with
your chosen colour palette? Do you splurge on a bespoke
ice sculpture with engraved names or a trendy ice bar
with themed uplighters and gobo names flashing on the
ceiling? Just where does the notion of having a perfect
day stop? Can you really see the telltale signs of a
wedding spiralling out of control? |

Over the last decade wedding planners
have become a popular and fashionable accessory to
weddings, large or small. No one can forget the
blockbuster hit "The wedding planner" starring
Jennifer Lopez, released in 2001 where the film does see
the role of a wedding planner painted in somewhat, rose
tinted glasses. In today's reality the role of a wedding
planner is somewhat different. So, how do we see the role
of a wedding planner today and is it really a Twentieth
century must-have accessory at your wedding?
The
Role Of A Wedding Planner
The role of a wedding planner will vary on every company
or business and the requirements of every couple. A
bespoke wedding planner tailors their services to closely
match the needs of their couple. In essence the role of
the wedding planner is to "plan the wedding"
with the couples vision and one of the key ingredients
being, the wedding planner's painstaking years of
experience and knowledge which will create the elements of
a truly, very magical and bespoke wedding, with lots of
creativity and imagination
The last few years have been an exciting time for wedding
planners in the industry and across the globe. It's almost
like a phenomenon that has taken over not just nationally
but also across the international waters over to the Far
East and Asia. It's been known to be said, that the latest
accessory to a wedding is a wedding planner, so in true
fashionable style, the privilege comes with a price tag.
Like with everything in life there is plenty of healthy
competition amongst wedding planners too. When trying to
find your perfect planner you will actually find a variety
of wedding agents on offer to choose from. With every
wedding agent providing a similar service, how do you know
whom to choose?
If you're in the midst of planning your wedding, you may
have come across the following in a wedding article, a
real life celebrity wedding feature in a wedding magazine,
a hotel brochure or even heard about it on the radio and
of course come across it in the Jennifer Lopez version, "The
Wedding Planner"
· Wedding planner
· Wedding co-ordinater
· Wedding consultant
· Bespoke wedding planner
· Event co-ordinater
· Event manager
· Venue co-ordinater
If you thought the above seven roles encompassed the same
duties as one another, you would be mistaken yet among the
general public who also think along the same lines. With
no real clarity between the roles, you are left with a
mind-boggling task to find your perfect planner.
There is a clear distinction of responsibilities between
each of the roles, there is an element where their
responsibilities do fuse into one another's however, do
not assume that the type of service will be the same for
every one of those seven service providers. The defining
roles and responsibilities are explained to help you
decide which you need. |
