Wedding Pintervention

Most brides and grooms are taking advantage of Pinterest to collect ideas and find their colors, flowers, cakes, photo ideas, invitations, you name it.  I mean, let’s be honest, it is a wonderful tool that allows you to collect inspiring ideas all in one place.  But after a certain point in your planning process you will need to cave to the Pintervention.  Yes I said it - You need a Pintervention.

Pinterest is a blessing and a curse when it comes to planning your wedding.  There are millions of ideas on the internet and there is no better tool that I know of to collect those ideas as you plan.  But when it comes to the final months of your planning process, and as you start to really decide what you want for your wedding, you need to revisit your wedding board and clean it up.  Delete those ideas that you thought were amazing the day you got engaged and narrow it all down to what you will be actually using for your wedding.  Make it really reflect your personality, your colors, your plan.

Once you realize you need a Pintervention and you complete your clean-up process, then you need to start restricting yourself on things that you look for or that you pin onto your board.  When you reach the 6 month out mark from your wedding day, you need to be sure you have your colors and major ideas decided on, so there is no need to keep looking for other color schemes or themes or dresses!  When you get to 2 months out you are going to limit your pinning to just final details and fun things you may want to add, such as escort cards, guest book ideas, cocktail napkins, signage, etc.  

Don’t get me wrong, as I said, it is a wonderful tool for couples to use, but it is smart to realize when you need to slow down and reign everything in.  The last thing you want to do is fall in love with a totally new idea only a couple of months before your wedding!

Your Cape Cod Wedding on a Budget

8/9/2012

0 Comments

 
Cape Cod is a beautiful place to get married with all sorts of ranges of locations to suit your vision and your budget.  When starting to research venues, be sure you have a set budget in mind, as the reception location, food and drink will be the most costly portion of your planning.  Here are some tips on keeping the budget down without having to do a lot of negotiating.

Seasonal Discounts
May venues on the Cape offer discounted rates in the off-season - November-March.  If you do not have your heart set on a beach ceremony or beach photos, having a wedding in the off-season on the Cape can be absolutely beautiful.  And if you love the winter and are hoping for a “White Wedding”, the winter months can be stunning, especially because a lot of the venues will be decorated for the holidays.  Also, many vendors may also offer seasonal discounts, as it is so quiet we are always looking for off-season business!  

Friday/Sunday weddings
Saturday weddings are the most expensive day of the week to get married, especially in July and August.  If you are open to a Friday or Sunday wedding, you have more flexibility with venues and what they will charge for food, rental fees and more.  Friday weddings are definitely becoming more popular.  You may not be able to get pricing down on a photographer, DJ or planner for a Friday or Sunday wedding, but saving at the reception location will allow for more wiggle room with your other vendors.

Weekday Wedding
Call me crazy, but weekday weddings are also a great option.  Seeing that venues and vendors hardly ever book weekday weddings, you almost have the upper hand when booking.  If you are having a destination wedding and most guests are coming from out of town or from out of the country, why not have a Monday wedding?  Worth looking into!

Renting a House with a Tent
Many brides come to me with a small budget and think that renting a house and putting up a tent will be the cheaper option.  Depending on the size of your guest list this could be possible, but more than likely it can be the same price or more expensive when comparing to a venue.  Caterers, bathrooms, rentals of linens, chairs, tables, china, glassware and more can add up quickly!  If you do go this route, I highly recommend talking to a planner to help to keep everything organized and managed the day of the event.

DIY
With the explosion of Pinterest, many brides are finding great ideas and going the DIY (Do It Yourself) route for centerpieces, favors, escort cards, etc.  This can help you to save hundreds of dollars (although it will cost you some time)  if you are creative and have friends or relatives that would be willing to help you put it all together.  Again, you do not want to be doing all of the DIY elements the day of the event, so look into hiring someone to execute all of your vision.
