If, however, you want an extravagant affair, we suggest you steer clear of such a challenge and opt for a professional to handle the task. Here’s why:

You Will Not Be Saving Much Money

Wedding planners are professionals who know their way around the business. They not only have set partnerships with wedding venues but also vendors. These deals with enable you as a client to save some extra cash on items such as flowers, food, cakes, etc. Same goes for your venue. If the venue has deals set with certain vendors, then again, you will save money. If you opt to buy all these items on your own then we can almost guarantee you will be spending a lot more as DIYs tend to normally go over budget. A wedding planner will help you stay well within your set budget, give you great advice, and let you enjoy your day to the full.

The Stress Is Not Worth It

A DIY wedding requires time and effort, which inadvertently leads to some unnecessary stress. Unless you plan on quitting your job and dedicating all your time to wedding planning, then opt for such a challenge. If you plan on keeping your job, then stop right here. Think about it. Is all the stress really worth the minimal amount of money you will be saving? Weddings are supposed to be enjoyed, celebrated, and commemorated as the happiest and most romantic day of your life. No one wishes to be stressed out of their minds and in the end not enjoy the most important day of their lives. Trust us, it is not worth it. Let a professional handle this for you.

You Have Someone to Handle Your Décor

Perhaps one of the most relieving aspects of a wedding ceremony is being aware of the fact that you don’t have to decorate the wedding venue. While DIY weddings may be fun to plan and design, when it comes down to the actual labor, you will struggle if you don’t have on-hands help available at all times. Let the professionals handle all of it while you sit back and relax on the most important day of your life.

Choose Your Tasks Wisely

If you do not wish to hand over all the duties to the professionals and wish to assign some tasks for yourself to add a personal touch, then we suggest choosing your tasks wisely. Keep the less demanding tasks for you and your family and friends such as wedding invites, wedding signboards, party favors, etc. Steer clear of any major duties such as table centerpieces, catering, hair, makeup, cake, wedding day  coordination, etc. One little glitch and your entire celebration is ruined. Only take upon yourself as much as you can handle.

As a couple promising to commit their lives to one another for eternity, you already have a lot going on for you. Weddings can get extremely emotional and overwhelming.
