A wedding, traditionally an event symbolizing the joining of two families, has evolved into a celebration to express a lifelong commitment to one another, while family, friends, and co-workers bear witness. This merging of traditional rituals with modern values and lifestyles
can be very complex. Planning the average wedding has become a very complicated task.

The wedding designer, once a luxury reserved for only the wealthy and elite, has become a necessity in today’s world. The average American wedding costs well over $20,000 and requires more than 250 hours of planning. Demanding work schedules make finding the time to research and plan impossible. A good wedding designer will maximize any budget and make the most of the couple’s valuable time and hard-earned money. The designer’s intent is not to make all the decisions, but to ensure that the happy couple makes informed, cost-effective choices.

	There are many people out there who claim to be
wedding planners, consultants, and coordinators. While services such as these are helpful, they rarely have training or membership associations that a professional designer or planner does.
