How to plan a wedding: hiring a consultant

Some couples decide to add a consultant to their budget.

This could be good if you both don't have time to plan the wedding or if you already know that you're going to argue over every minute detail (if this is the case, please reconsider living together without having to wed).

Remember that you can choose a wedding consultant that works by the hour: this allows you to do most of the planning but provides an outsider's perspective for the most difficult decisions.

Also remember that if you choose to put your wedding into someone else's hands, you won't have to complain if the wedding is slightly different from that you dreamed for all your life. After all, a good wedding planner is not necessarily reading your mind all the time.
