Portfolio - The Labelle's Wedding




The Labelle's Wedding Day

The now, Mr. & Mrs. Labelle are best friends of mine, so it was one of the first weddings I had the opportunity to help with. The Bride had amazing ideas that were fun to work on and always a challenge to complete!

Now... the reception was held in a local curling rink, so overnight the Bride & Groom's Family's and Friends turned this cold area into a Wedding Wonderland! The Couple's vision was Amazing and with some help it was made into a reality!


The Arena with lights on

Still looked great but the white lights and tealights on every table really gave the room a romantic, summer night feel.

Making the finishing touches...



Which Turned Into a Wedding Wonderland!









And the NewlyWeds enter to a beautiful reception!






The Buffet Tables in the front/middle of the room were removed after supper to reveal a great dance floor for the first dance!






The Bride and Groom kick up their heels and show the rest of their guests how to look great and have a good time!




The Happy Couple!

Is your wedding planning under control? If not, here's a solution!

Have you ever considered a wedding consultant?

While not every bride uses one to plan her wedding, there are several reasons to hire someone.

"The main reason to hire a consultant is to save you time and a lot of stress"
If you're feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work involved in planning your wedding, consider a consultant - having someone to help you with all the details may be well worth the expense. If you think you would benefit from some extra help, a wedding consultant may be your best option. Having someone to help you help you plan a day to remember may be just what you need to make the perfect day ♥

If you're getting married out of town or you have to make most of the plans on your own, a wedding planner planner can be invaluable. And brides who work long hours or are juggling multiple responsiblities often hire consultants to help them with all of the legwork that a wedding entails.


WHAT THEY DO:
So what does a bridal consultant actually do? Just about everything.

As bridal consultant is an advisor, a coordinator, a supervisor, a financial planner, a food and beverage manager, and a purchasng agent. They may also create a budget and keep track of how much money is spent as well as help the bride and groom manage thier time.

Some brides hire a consultant to attend to nearly every detail; others have the consultant work in a more limited capacity like helping with last-minute arrangements and being there on the wedding day to make sure that things run smoothly. The amount of involvement is up to the Bride and the Groom. Wedding consultants can help with everything from the beginning stages of your wedding plans to the end of the day or anything in between. Wedding consultants are very flexible.


WHAT YOU WILL SPEND:
Are you worried about the cost of hiring a wedding consultant?
It's probably more affordable than you realize and may even save you money- consultants often have relationships with vendors and can negotiate better deals for you as a result. They can also recommend florists, caterers, disc jockeys, and other professionals becuase they know what businesses have good reputations and which do not. Many brides have no way of knowing how long that person has been in business or how they operate.

Consider the cost of your consultant as part of your wedding budget, not as an additional expense. The amount consultants charge usually depends on where you live. Many charge a flat fee that ranges between 10 to 15 percent of the total cost of the wedding whiles others may work on an hourly basis.

*Remember that you may be spending a lot of time with your consultant in the coming months, so choose someone you like and feel comfortable with.*

You can get a lot of information from a one-hour interview with a consultant or you may want them to help find a location and plan the entire wedding. That initial interview is to meet with the consultant to find out whether your personalities mesh and whether their presentation is what you feel that you want.
What Wedding Planners Do...

1) Wedding planners are first and foremost consultants on everything weddings. They will work with you to fulfill your vision for they day, and they'll come up with creative solutions to make it happen on a budget.

2) They act as your representative in the scary world of vendors. They know vendors in a way you can't; not only their reputations for quality or timelines, but if there's any bad blood between vendors you're intersted in. They will negotiate with vendors on your behalf in order to get the best possible value, which may not necessarily be the lowest price. Often vendors are more willing to throw in extras for the same low price rather than lower their price.

3) They are supreme organizers. A wedding planner will prepare an itinerary for you, and will keep you on track. Planners know when things need to be done, so they'll never let you fall behind.

4) Many planners are able to help you with whatever wedding you envision.

5) Wedding Planners have financial skills to kee you on a budget. So when they call that meeting about how you're about to go drastically and irrevocably over budget, listen to them.

6) Many Wedding Planners say they find themselves acting as therapists from time to time. When the pressure of competing interests or difficult decisions builds up, they become a shoulder to cry on.

7) Often, they're marriage counselors too. They've seen enough weddings to know the emotions and arguments involved. They wil help you to put these in perspective and see the real focus of the wedding and each other.

8) On they day of the wedding, Wedding Planners are your on-site ringmaser and problem-solver, making sure everything runs smoothly, and if it doesn't, that you don't have to deal with it.

9) They're discreet. Don't worry, your mother will never know what you said about her in a fit of rage!

10) However, few will act as your taxi service, courier service, bouncer or bank. They aren't avaliable all hours of they day , they can't accompany you to every appointment.
