For any future bride, the idea of planning her own wedding often turns into a daunting and hair-raising concept. After the euphoria of the engagement wears off and reality settles in, it's shocking to discover how much preparation is involved. Couples are faced with decisions about everything from wording the invitation correctly to planning their honeymoon, and simple questions like: How much should we spend? What is the best venue? What do we give our guests to eat? Which suppliers do we choose to make sure that our dream day is everything we hoped it would be? – become thoughts that nightmares are made of! These worries and more mount as quickly as the escalating cost of the wedding.
