>> I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS
NEXT SEGMENT.
NEXT SEGMENT. YOU JUST GOT ENGAGED,
CONGRATULATIONS.
CONGRATULATIONS. NOW, WHAT DO YOU DO?
THE STRESS OF HAVING TO PLAN
YOUR BIG DAY REALLY STARTS TO
SET IN.
SET IN.
SET IN. HERE TO HELP GUIDE US TO THE
PROCESS IS FOUNDER AND CHIEF
BRAND OFFICER. HELLO.
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE THAT YOU
ARE HERE.
ARE HERE.
ARE HERE. WHAT PERFECT TIMING AS SO MANY
PEOPLE ARE ENGAGED INCLUDING
ARIANNA GRANDE A -- GRANDE AND
JUSTIN BIEBER.
JUSTIN BIEBER. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE ONE
THING IN COMMON, THEY COULD USE
THE HELP.
THE HELP.
THE HELP. TELL PEOPLE HOW YOU CAME UP
WITH THIS IDEA BECAUSE THIS IS
YOUR BABY.
YOUR BABY. >> IT'S MY BABY.
IT'S A PLANNING APP AND IT HAS
YOUR ENTIRE PLANNING AT A GLANCE
AND EVERYTHING IS SET UP FOR
YOU SO YOU ARE NOT IN YOUR
EMAIL OR DOING THE GROUP TEXT
THING.
THING.
THING. IT
THING. IT CAN BECOME A LOT AND OVER --
OVERWHELMING SO THIS IS YOUR
ONE STOP SHOP.
>> THIS CAME FROM A GENUINE
PLACE.
PLACE.
PLACE. YOU NEEDED HELP.
>> MY HUSBAND AND I WILL BE
CELEBRATING OUR TWO YEAR
ANNIVERSARY AND I KNEW THERE
HAD TO BE A BETTER WAY TO PLAN
SO I SAT AND THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT
IS THE BEST WAY TO ORGANIZE
EVERYTHING AND WE USE OUR
COMPUTERS ALL THE TIME SO WE
HAVE SO MANY TABS OPEN BECAUSE
THERE'S A LOT OF DOCUMENT
MANAGEMENT SO LET'S PUT IT ALL
ONLINE AND NOT FOCUS ON EMAILS.
>> HOW DID THIS COME TO BE AND
HOW DO YOU HELP BRIDES
PRIORITIZE?
PRIORITIZE? >> A LOT OF TIMES THEY PUT
INFORMATION IN YOUR FACE AT
ONCE ON THESE WEBSITES AND THAT
IS WHERE THE OVERWHELMING SENSE
STARTS.
STARTS.
STARTS. A
STARTS. A LOT OF PEOPLE WHEN THEY PLAN
A WEDDING, THEY ARE DOING IT
FOR THE FIRST TIME SO WE CREATED
A CHECKLIST TO GIVE YOU THE TOP
FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD FOCUS ON
FIRST AND THE BIG THINGS THAT
HAVE THE BIGGEST IMPACT AND
THEN YOU CAN HAVE FUN DOING THE
OTHER PLANNING.
OTHER PLANNING. >> WHAT IS ON THE CHECK LIST?
>> WE WILL START WITH THE VENUE.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
PEOPLE HAVE POPULAR VENUES AND
THEY KNOW WHERE THEY WANT TO
GET MARRIED AND THERE'S ONLY SO
MANY WEDDING WEEKENDS IN A YEAR
OR EVEN A MONTH I SHOULD SAY.
THIS IS BOOKING UP A LOT FASTER
THAN PEOPLE ANTICIPATE SO I
ALWAYS SAY 12 TO 14 MONTHS GO
AHEAD AND BOOK YOUR VENUE.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUT A LIGHT
HOLD ON YOUR VENUE.
I HAVE NO SHAME, I DID THAT
BEFORE WE WERE ENGAGED AND I
HAVE NO SHAME.
A LIGHT HOLD IS THAT DOES NOT
REQUIRE A DEPOSIT. IT'S ALWAYS
GOOD TO ASK IF THE VENUE HAS A
LIGHT HOLD OPTION.
>> DID YOU TELL ANYONE THAT YOU
PUT A LIGHT HOLD ON THE VENUE
UNTIL YOU WERE ENGAGED?
>> I TOLD MY BEST FRIEND AND MY
MOM.
MOM.
MOM. MY
MOM. MY HUSBAND EVENTUALLY FOUND OUT
HE ROLLED HIS EYES AND SAID
TYPICAL BUT NOW HE GETS IT.
THE SECOND IS MEMORY MAKERS.
THESE ARE THE PHOTOGRAPHERS AND
VIDEOGRAPHERS.
VIDEOGRAPHERS. BECAUSE OF SOCIAL MEDIA, THESE
PEOPLE HAVE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF FOLLOWERS AND
PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR
THEM TO TRAVEL SO IF YOU HAVE
AN ARTIST THAT YOU LOVE, GET IN
TOUCH WITH THEM AND CHECK THE
AVAILABILITY.
AVAILABILITY. IF YOU WANT THEM, BOOK THEM AND
SOME THE DEPOSIT AND SIGN A
CONTRACT AND KNOW THAT IS THE
PERSON THAT WILL CAPTURE ONE OF
THE BIGGEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.
YOU DO NOT WANT TO SKIMP ON
PHOTOGRAPHY BECAUSE THESE
PHOTOS WILL LAST A LIFETIME SO
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU
ARE GETTING SOMEONE THAT YOU
LOVE.
LOVE.
LOVE. A
LOVE. A LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHERS WILL SAY
I WANT TO MEET YOU AND YOU WANT
TO VIBE WITH SOMEONE THAT YOU
WILL PROBABLY SPEND 10 HOURS
WITH.
WITH.
WITH. >>
WITH. >> YES, I TOTALLY AGREE.
>> THERE IS MOMENTS WHERE
YOU'RE GETTING IN YOUR DRESS
AND YOU JUST WANT TO BE
COMFORTABLE.
COMFORTABLE. >> CELL, ENTERTAINMENT, VERY
IMPORTANT.
IMPORTANT. >> WE HAVE BANDS AND THEY ARE
NOT JUST DEALING WITH WEDDINGS
BUT THEY ARE MANY OTHER EVENTS
IN THE FIRST BAND WE WANTED
BOOKED UP 12 MONTHS PRIOR.
WE GOT OUR SECOND CHOICE WHICH
WAS SO AMAZING AND LOVELY BUT
EVERYONE WANTS A GOOD DANCE
PARTY AND MAKE SURE YOU GET THE
PEOPLE THAT WILL GIVE YOU A
GOOD TIME SO CHECK THE LIST AND
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE VIDEOS NOW
AND NARROW DOWN YOUR CHOICES.
JUST CONTACT THE BOOKING
MANAGERS AND SIGN THAT CONTRACT
AND YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY.
>> THE VIBE OF THE PARTY IS
VERY IMPORTANT.
VERY IMPORTANT. >> NEXT IS THE WEDDING DRESS.
>> THAT IS MY FAVORITE.
I STILL THINK ABOUT MY WEDDING
DRESS.
DRESS.
DRESS. >>
DRESS. >> A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT
REALIZE THAT WHEN YOU GO TO A
BRIDAL BEAUTY, THEY ARE
MEASURING YOUR BODY FOR A
REASON BECAUSE YOUR DRESS IS
CUSTOM FIT SO YOU WANT TO GIVE
YOURSELF BETWEEN EIGHT OR SIX
MONTHS TO GET THE DRESS INTO
PRODUCTION AND GET IT BACK TO
THE BOUTIQUE AND YOU WANT TO
GIVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TIME FOR
ALTERATIONS.
ALTERATIONS. ONE OF MY FAVORITE OPTIONS IS
THE HOLD IN. THEY ARE AMAZING
BECAUSE THEY ARE READY TO WEAR
SO IF YOU ARE A SIZE TWO, FOUR,
OR SIX, IT IS READY AND THEY
ARE MY FAVORITE.
>> IT ALSO DEPENDS ON THE
TIMELINE OF YOUR ENGAGEMENT
BECAUSE I WAS ONLY ENGAGED FOR
SIX MONTHS SO I HAD TO HURRY IT
UP.
UP.
UP. >>
UP. >> YES, THAT IS WHY THIS IS ONE
OF THE BIG FIVE.
>> ONE THING THAT SO MANY
PEOPLE GET SO STRESSED ABOUT IS
THE GUEST LIST.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THE
GUEST LIST IS NOT SOMETHING TO
FOCUS ON RIGHT AWAY BUT IT'S
NOT JUST YOUR GUEST LIST BUT
THERE ARE TWO FAMILIES AND
MAYBE SOMETIMES MORE THAT WILL
HAVE OPINIONS AND INPUT SO FOR
ME IT'S IMPORTANT THAT COUPLES
KNOW YOUR NUMBERS AND HOW
EXTRAVAGANT OR INTIMATE YOU
WANT YOUR WEDDING TO BE AND
ALWAYS DO A TEMPLATE.
IT JUST MAKES INVITATION
PRINTING SO MUCH EASIER IF
EVERYONE HAS THE SAME FORMAT
AND THEN MERGE YOUR LIST AND
YOU CAN EDIT AND REVISE AS
NECESSARY.
NECESSARY. >> YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE
ORGANIZED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
AND THEY WILL HELP YOU DO THAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE
