Centerpieces can be time consuming, but the ultimate product is gorgeous. Once you have decided on what your centerpieces will look like the rest is a bit easier, but quite possibly labor intensive. Sometimes it can include cutting 30-50 foot-by-foot pieces of foam board. Other Times centerpieces can require hot-gluing silk flowers on 100 picture frames. Tying 200 tiny bows from ribbon. Whatever the case may be, time is of the essence. A simple, yet time consuming task such as centerpieces is something you can give to a wedding day assistant to do.
Once you have purchased all of the components of the centerpieces and have a replica of what is desired, the task can be handed off to someone with a little more time. This can leave you free to focus on more important things like picking the right first dance song and best cake flavors.

Components of a Wedding: Decorations
Decorating can seem like an endless task.
Final details of decorating can leave you needing to tie 500 miniature bows out of ribbon or hot-gluing leaves to silk flowers. And with busy lives, it can be impossible to find time to do those things.
Perhaps there are tasks you could pass on to a personal assistant.
Someone to:
Pick up your supplies
Tie your bows
Assist with silk floral arrangements
All things arts and crafts related
Decorating preparations
Why should you do all the work? Get rescued!

Components of a Wedding: Planning
When it comes to Weddings, there can seem to be an infinite to-do list. This will be the first of a series of blog posts regarding the different components of a wedding and how a Wedding Day Assistant can help you with your ever growing to-do list.
Components of a Wedding: Planning
He is down on one knee, ring in hand and you have just decided to say "YES!" Making this one decision, you have triggered a whole chain of questions. When will the wedding happen? Where will it happen? What time? Inside or outside? Where will the reception be? Who will be in the wedding? Big wedding party or small? Close friends and family or invite the whole state? Local wedding? Destination wedding? Time of day? What will your dress look like?
Whew. Who knew this could be so challenging?
Perhaps you need to be rescued BEFORE your wedding day. Cash in your Wedding Day Assistant early!
Maybe you want an assistant to help you pick out your wedding gown because you know your friends and family will be too pushy or not honesty.
Maybe you want an assistant to help you get save the date or wedding invitations in the mail because you simply cant get together 8 solid hours to work on it.
Maybe you want an assistant to call all 8 of the potential venues you have found to get more info and see if they are available.
Is there a daunting task hanging over your head that you just cant bring up the courage to tackle on your own?
Let Jen rescue you!

Every Bride needs to be rescued!
Consider this scenario.
It's your big day. You're getting your hair done at the salon, and then you will begin putting on your make up. The groom, who was tasked to pick up the flowers has delivered them to the reception hall on the other side of town. Then you discover that, you're MOH's parents, who are not so familiar with the town & so graciously delivered the last minute order of 200 cupcakes delivered them to the ceremony site on the opposite end of the town from the reception hall.
Being the troubleshooter she is, your MOH hops in her car, crosses town, picks up the cupcakes, crosses back through town, delivers them to the reception hall, picks up the flowers and brings them back to the ceremony site, just in time to meet you and the rest of your bridesmaids at the ceremony site. She did it because she loves you, but wouldn't you have rather had her with you for that hour?
After the ceremony, the goal is simple, take a few quick photos with the parents and let them race off to finish decorations at the hall. But wouldn't you rather them stick around to make sure you get all the shots you want to remember your big day?
The grooms men hold up the Bridal Party entrance & DINNER because they had to go on a booze run...
Its time for the mother-son dance, the song has started and no one knows where mom is! Wouldn't it be nice to have someone in charge of keeping track of stuff like this?
Ummm... who was in charge of the marriage license????
It's the end of the night, your wedding party is three sheets to the wind, your feet hurt and everyone is exhausted. Who is going to load all those heavy presents into the car?

About Jen's Bride Rescue
Let's face it, every Bride needs to be rescued, especially on her big day! From simple tasks like who is keeping track of the marriage license to more complex tasks like making sure mom and dad are where they are supposed to be, things still need to be handled on the big day. Often times we task these items to friends or relatives at the wedding (mainly because they are last minute things no one plans for), but wouldn't you rather they enjoyed the wedding and reception?
Jen's Bride Rescue allows you to bring an outside person, not a family member or friend, to get those last minute details taken care of with no panic on the Bride, Groom, Bridal Party members or friends and family members. So instead of your MOH leaving you at the hair salon to pick up the flowers and take them to the ceremony site and make sure the cake gets delivered to the reception hall, let's keep her with you to make sure you look EXTRA fabulous on your big day!
Tasks you may not want your friends and family to be concerned with on your big day:
Flower pick up and delivery
Cake pick up and delivery
Holding onto the Marriage License
Any payments that need to be made on the Wedding Day
Keeping track of special guests (parents, grandparents, musicians, Bridal Party, etc.)
Accepting and storing gifts (including packing them up at the end of the evening)
Collecting momentos from the day
Assist with final details
Last minute errands
And this is just the beginning! Who knows what you will encounter on your wedding day!
So what's it cost?
1 - 4 Hours of Wedding Day Coordinator Service for $100
4 - 8 Hours of Wedding Day Coordinator Service for $150
