Last-Minute Wedding Planner Meetings

Tips for Working with Your Wedding Organizer Before Your Big Day

Your big day is almost here. Now that you’re approaching the final stages of wedding planning, it’s time to coordinate with your wedding organizer to make sure everything’s in place. Here are some tips for working with your wedding organizer before your wedding day:

  1. Schedule a meeting with your wedding organizer the weekend before your wedding. During the meeting, get confirmation that all vendors are prepared for the wedding. Schedule any last-minute appointments you need to make, including a final fitting or picking up your wedding dress.
  2. Have your wedding organizer prepare an itinerary for the upcoming week and the day before your wedding. This should include the schedule for your rehearsal dinner, picking up any accessories you need and attending last-minute appointments. If you’re planning to visit a bridal spa on the day of your wedding, include arrival and treatment times on your itinerary.
  3. Establish boundaries regarding availability in the days before your wedding. If you have a close relationship with your wedding planner, you may feel inclined to turn to her in moments of panic or if you have questions. If you’re not working as closely with her or don’t feel comfortable, make sure you have a friend on call so you can vent or ask for last-minute opinions.

Uh, look around.

Almost every other article on this site is about planning your own wedding, and you complain because you found 1 article about hiring a professional planner?

Sounds amazing!

This sounds great...but what if you are doing everything yourself--any ideas of how to keep things organized? We will have a friend do the day-of coordinating but I am doing all the planning. Help!
