You’ve heard the quotes before: “I saw that same wedding dress online for a fraction of the cost”! “Oh, my cousin will do the flowers for us with flowers from the Farmer’s Market”! “A friend of my brother is just starting and will take our photos for free and use them for his portfolio”!
Maybe those exact words have even been said by you! Everyone likes to save money and come across a bargain, so why wouldn’t you take advantage of a “great offer” for a service needed at your wedding? But before you jump on that money saving idea, consider a few reasons to count the cost of that “deal”.
- First and foremost, THIS IS YOUR WEDDING DAY! A once-in-a-lifetime event that you’ve been dreaming and envisioning for many months (at the very least). You’ve been planning how to make this day perfect for you, your fiancé and guests. “Second-rate” (or third or fourth) and “amateur” should not be in your vocabulary or thought process when planning for THIS day.
- Professionals are called professionals for a reason. They are experienced, passionate, and exceptional at what they do. They come highly recommended by clients and business piers alike, and can be depended upon to provide the highest quality end product. These are the people you want to employ…the ones whose sole purpose is to ensure that your day of days is just what you hoped it would be. That, right there, is worth every penny!
- Think about this: what happens when friend with the camera gets sick or cousin decided to go on vacation at the last minute? When that online dress comes looking like anything but the photo. Who then gets to scramble for a “Plan B”? YOU…THE BRIDE!
Things like this really do happen…more than you could ever imagine. Professionals can get sick, but always have first class back-ups. There’s no such thing as a professional “forgetting” or pulling a no-show. Bridal dress salons (like New Beginnings Bridal Studio) will always be there for you through the entire process. Afterall, you know the saying: “You get what you pay for”.
Family and friends love you. That’s why they will do what they can to help you at your wedding. You love them in return, so why not just let the most special people in your life come and do what you invite your guests to do…help you CELEBRATE your marriage, ENJOY the surroundings, and MAKE LIFELONG MEMORIES!
