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 Asian
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 Asian
wedding planners is somewhat different. So, how
do we see the role of Asian
wedding planners 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.
