** Do It Yourself Wedding Planning **
The "Bride Ideas" Wedding Workshop; Do It Yourself Wedding Planning Congratulations! You are ready to hop on the ferry of happily ever after, off to live your life in pure wedded bliss. Before that ferry leaves the shore of single-hood, you have one big day to get through. A very important day!
But how will you do it? Where do you start? Our Bride Ideas Wedding Workshops were created with you in mind. In just 4 hours, you'll learn everything you need to know about do it yourself wedding planning. Hi I am Angie! For the past 7 or so years, I have spent my time planning parties from 2 to 2000 people. I have executed flawless events from small intimate breakfast seminars to gala dinners, horse racing events to golf days, creative product launches to romantic weddings and more recently, the 2008 Pirelli Calendar launch and the Stars of Mzansi TV show. Through these years of experience organising events big and small, I have learned to deal with suppliers, budget properly (and stick to it!), the importance of check lists and sound event planning. I know what ingredients need to be added to create a great atmosphere and successful event. Apart from being a full time wedding planner, I also run do it yourself wedding planning workshops to show brides how to plan a wedding successfully ... Through my dealings with brides, I have found that... - Many girls do not have the faintest idea as to where to start when planning and organising their wedding. They may have an idea as to what they want but have no idea how to bring this to life.
- Budgets are tight. These days, more and more couples are receiving less and less financial help from their parents. Fathers of the brides-to-be are heaving a sigh of relief at this new trend, but it leaves the marrying couple scratching their heads trying to figure out how they are going to do it! Many couples end up paying almost 40% more than what they had hoped to and are lead to believe that this is the norm.
- And sometimes...couples without direction make hairy mistakes where it is glaringly obvious that the bridal couple had no idea of how to plan a wedding, even with the best intentions, a lot of effort, and money not well spent.
It's so easy to get it wrong ... especially if you've never organised an event of this scale (and importance!) before.A wedding requires a lot of thought, planning, budgeting, coordinating, and flawless execution. If, like most couples, you've never organised anything of this magnitude, then this is a tall order ... What are your options? Well, you could either get a professional wedding planner in, or learn how to properly plan, budget and execute your own wedding. This is where the Bride Ideas do it yourself wedding planning workshops come in ... You wouldn't drive a car without first taking some lessons, so why take a chance with what should be the most beautiful, memorable day of your life?The Bride Ideas 4 hour interactive wedding workshop aims to inspire you with some creative ideas and fresh perspectives, helpful tips and sound financial planning to help you feel more confident in planning and designing the wedding of your dreams.

Book Your Spot For The Next "Bride Ideas" Do It Yourself Wedding Planning WorkshopThese do it yourself wedding planning workshops are small, intimate affairs, and therefore space is limited. There will be lots of time for interaction, questions, bouncing ideas around, and getting your hands dirty with the more practical stuff. The aim is to make sure that your wedding pans out exactly as you want it. You may think you don't have the budget for your dream wedding, but I'll show you how to stretch that budget and make every penny count. Needless to say, we're also going to have lots of fun. Normally, I charge R1600 for a four hour consultation session. For the 4 hour wedding workshop, however, the cost is only R397 per person.
The next 4 hour workshop will take place on Saturday 10 May in Randburg, at The Gallery, off Republic Road. We will start at 13:30 pm and should be finished by around 17:30. To book your spot, please fill in your name, email address and cell phone number in the form below
I personally guarantee you that by attending the "Bride Ideas" wedding workshop, you will save much more than R397 when planning your wedding. However, if at the end of the workshop, you feel that it wasn't of value to you, simply come see me and I will refund you your money - no questions asked.I look forward to seeing you there!
