ABOUT
CONGRATULATIONS You’re getting hitched! Often brides and grooms feel they would like to plan their wedding themselves to save money and to make their wedding truly personal and unique. Occasionally this can lead to wasted money and the time it takes to plan even a simple wedding can lead to time lost in other areas of the busy couple’s lives. Not to mention that they can lose focus of the big picture - concentrating on their new life together - by getting overwhelmed with the details of the wedding day. Weddings, though amazing, are also often a very stressful experience - ask any bride or groom that recently tied the knot!
IMAGINE Instead, imagine the couple being at the helm of all the major wedding planning decisions, but not being bogged down by the logistics and myriad of details. Imagine the couple being exposed to a vast inventory of ideas, references, and experiences to build on for their personalized wedding. Imagine the couple making smart financial decisions about the goals and vision of their wedding based on this experience. Imagine a wedding day where the couple’s personal vision and style is heavily apparent, but the bride, groom, and their families are relaxed and focused on their guests and the meaning of the day.
DO IT YOURSELFERS Highly competent couples may not even consider seeking assistance in designing their wedding because they know they can do it themselves, but there is so much else going on the months before a wedding – engagement parties, showers, congratulations wishers galore – coupled with their usual work and life loads – to-be-weds can easily get overwhelmed. This commonly leaves couples and their families exhausted and stressed for their wedding day. Also, wedding and event planning is becoming more and more specialized, with techniques, insider information, and vendor connections that a couple would have to learn from scratch to get the most benefit for their wedding.
THE HAPPY COUPLE According to Michael and Kristen, married on New Years Eve 2006, “the best thing we did for our wedding (other than get married!) was to hire Flings Event Design to guide us through the process. Laura is truly passionate about the events that she manages and uses her talent to enable the couples’ vision to come to life. Her enthusiasm and dedication is remarkable. With her savvy know-how, she helped us navigate the overwhelming industry of vendors and rules of etiquette while maintaining incredible consideration for our personal preferences and style every step of the way. She has a rare combination of business and artistic sense, which helped steer our selections towards those that are both beautiful and within our budget, all-the-while keeping us on-track with an incredibly organized time-line. Her creative style and can-do attitude makes working with Laura fun and refreshing. We don’t know what we would’ve done without her!“
