Why Hire a Wedding Planner?

I hear from many couples that they are often confused as to how much to spend, where to obtain specialized services, and how to choose vendors.  After the euphoria of planning a wedding wears off, and the reality settles in, it’s shocking to discover how much preparation is involved in panning a wedding. This is typically when couples call True Bliss Evens to obtain experienced, professional assistance.

Not long ago, a wedding planner was thought of as a luxury, but today, a wedding planner is essential to the well planned affair.  Planners are experienced in negotiating contracts with caterers, florists, photographers, and other suppliers, and therefore can  the save you valuable time and money. We take advantage of discounts not available to private parties and avoid costly mistakes, while turning your dreams into reality. At True Bliss Events, we will save you time and enable you to get the most for your money!

The average wedding can take more than two hundred hours to plan and execute. With today’s hectic lifestyles, you may not have time to compare all the options, making sure you get the best deal, and that all the details are in place. By hiring True Bliss Events, during your engagement you can focus on preparing to spend the rest of your life with your fiance, not the planning details that cause stress and anxiety.  Professional knowledge and experience will turn your dreams and expectations into reality. At True Bliss, we are passionate about creating and orchestrating unforgettable, tailor-made events. We go out of our way to make the process effortless for you. Attention to detail matters to us, and we’ll go to great lengths to make sure your event is truly blissful.

Wedding Style – The Short Wedding Dress

When most brides think of their wedding day, they imagine themselves walking down the aisle in a floor-length gown. Whether it’s decorated with beads, lace, feathers or nothing at all, long dresses have been the most popular choice by far.

At True Bliss Events, we are here to tell you long gowns are not the end-all when it comes to wedding dresses. Many designers are creating equally extravagant short and tea length dresses to make a bride’s wedding day complete.

If you’re planning a destination or more informal wedding, or if you’re on a tight budget, consider looking into shorter dresses. They can add spunk and flare to any ceremony, whether it’s at a plush resort or country farm. Also, in comparison to long wedding gowns, shorter dresses often cost less because not as much work or material goes into making them. If a short gown doesn’t tickle your fancy, consider them as an option for your rehearsal dinner or reception!Take a look at these cuties I found from Sarah Seven, Carol Hannah (Yes, THE Carol Hannah from Project Runway) and Elizabeth Dye!
