Busy Weekend

So its been a busy week at WBZL this week but tomorrow we're super-dooper excited to be going to Mellissa and Scott's marquee wedding. We're crossing our fingers and toes for good weather but know that whatever the weather this wedding is going to be a ball! Will hopefully grab a couple of photographs to show you on Monday (and I just know you're going to want to see these photos!) but for now I leave you with this beautiful cake that was featured on one of my favourite wedding blog The Bride's Cafe. I think this cake's florals are really orignal and Donna from Beautiful Blooms needs to get a gold star!

Beautiful!

Timelines

So sometimes I think the public perception of wedding planners isn't great (if I had a pound for every time someone jokes about planners stealing grooms - thanks J Lo) and sometimes I think people are generally confused about what planners do. So today I decided to post a screengrab of a timeline that we recently produced for a client. A timeline is a great way of mapping out all the tasks to be completed before the big day but also making deadlines so that the weeks before the wedding don't give you the wedding crazies.

Our Timelines are done in a Gantt Chart style with tasks listed down the left and the months listed across the top. We use different colours to indicate who is to complete each task, a series of different symbols and that pale green line down the center indicates that a wedding date has been confirmed; a linchpin decision that lots of other tasks depend on.

So I hope that gives you a little insight into the work of a planner.

Happy Thursday!
