You Don't Need An Expensive Wedding Planner. Just Hire A Bridal Assistant. by BridalAssistant(f): 2:00am On Jul 19, 2014 |
It usually is the duty of the bridal party to wait on the bride in the months leading up to the wedding and also on the big day itself. The maid of honor and the bridesmaids are to and ensure that the bride’s every need is attended to and that she is properly taken care of; no frayed nerves, no frustrations, just peace and tranquillity through it all. However, this means that the bridal party usually misses out on fun aspects of the day and are themselves stressed whilst attending to the bride (missed photo shoots, missed meals and drinks, throbbing feet, headaches, sweaty makeup, the list is endless) . Also there’s busy work/school schedules, distance, personal and medical emergencies which might hinder a bridesmaid from performing her duties in the weeks/months leading up to the wedding. A Bridal Concierge (also known as a Personal Bridal Assistant) is on hand to attend to a bride's every need in the period leading up to her big day and on the day itself. She's there with the bride every single step of the way, at every turn, and for every thing imaginable that is required in the planning process. She also relieves the bridal party of their duties and is there to make sure that everyone has a great time being pampered and enjoying all the fun of the party. |

WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE A BRIDAL ASSISTANT. The most important factor is cost. These days, hiring a wedding planner will set you back by about 20-30% of your wedding budget on average. A Bridal Assistant will only cost you a tiny fraction of that. A little goes a long way with us. And we perform many more tasks than the average wedding planner. Other reasons are: 1. If you’re going to DIY-plan your wedding yet want help in running errands and wedding day coordination, the bridal concierge is your girl. 2. If you want professional help in planning your wedding yet want someone to fill in for aspects of the planning which will surely not be covered under a wedding planner’s contract, the bridal concierge is your girl. 3. If you want someone with administrative skills to oversee all pre- wedding and post-wedding activities and be there for you every step of the way, the bridal concierge is your girl. 4. If you need someone with a knack for damage control and who’s armed with an emergency kit to take care of virtually every wedding-day emergency which may arise, the bridal concierge is your girl. 5. If you’re a busy executive or an out-of- town bride and need someone to be your eyes and ears on everything (and that means EVERYTHING) wedding- related, the bridal concierge is definitely your girl. All-in-all, your bridal concierge is your one- stop “shop” for everything you’ll need in ensuring that your wedding goes as smoothly as possible and that you’re the pampered, happy bride you deserve to be.
