Wedding Planning 1

Hello Blogsville,

About my wedding and this wedding planning business...

Firstly i am not using a wedding planner... most people plan their wedding... think its gone well and next thing they put up sign board - wedding planner! aint dissing the profession though... there are good ones out there who actually save you money... but for my wedding i wont bother with one! i am not a project manager for nothing.

okay so i need vendors for everything (caterer, decorations, make up, nails, hair)... the works...i have been getting some outrageous prices that were trying to drive me up the wall...(last post) and i sat and thought about it... if it was an office issue/event, what would i do? i would compare many recommended vendors!

so i sent a mail to all my recently married friends who's weddings looked good for one reason or the other... and also hollaed out on blogsville here in my last post... and my world of awesome girlfriends responded en-mass; frankly they blew my mind.... long list of all their vendors, prices and how they turned out... and if the vendor didnt perform well, they said so...

thanks girls - you all rock! the world would be incomplete without girlfriends!

so now i have a list of vendors (atleast 3) in each category..... to compare... i will be calling these vendors one by one.... will let you know how it goes...

my sister, a girlfriend and a mate have agreed to work on chasing, supervising and ensuring delivery from vendors ...i'm getting there...

So now i have been looking at gowns.... lots of it..... yes i'm gown hunting already... In as much as i would like to wear my own design... i am frightened of the stress that might come with producing such a thing... as i am hell bent on avoiding any skin breakouts, biko i will buy a gown!

i think i should go to the US.... perhaps for the thanksgiving sales (awoof dey run belle)... and get a gown... but i saw this website and fell in love with some gowns on it.... www.pronovias.com

if you go to that wedding website, let me know what you think...

okay i'm off now... more wedding tory later...
