The Relief Of Finding A Wedding Magician

By Andrew Edmonds

When arrangements are made for a wedding, many different plans must be made. The colors, the location, the reception, the wedding dress, and numerous small as well as large things are involved. If time is rather short it may be time to engage a Wedding Magician in the form of a family member or some other knowledgeable person to help with decision-making as well as ensuring tasks are completed on time. Those who can pull off the party of the century are truly magicians in every sense of the word.

When to ask for help in planning a wedding, reception, or honeymoon is based on individual preference which is often impacted by time and resources. Some people are able to take over from the start and need no assistance. Others, who have not done much planning feel overwhelmed from the very beginning. If this is the case then it is time to decide just how much help is needed. A couple planning a wedding should sit down and decide what they will do together and when the help of others is required.

Planning a wedding is almost the opposite to learning a new job after being hired. In a job a person is not expected to know exactly what they are to do the day they walk in, but instead will undergo extensive training until feeling competent to complete tasks on their own. When planning a wedding, however, brides are often expected to be experts immediately and every wrong decision can cost money. Therefore, selecting vendors, scheduling events, gathering everyone on time, getting everything out on time, and setting up on time can all be more than they can manage.

It is common for the bride-to-be to ask her mother or a close relative to assist her in choosing her wedding gown. The color theme for the wedding is sometimes agreed on with the groom, but usually this is the bride's job. The bridesmaids usually accompany the bride in trying on different styles for their dresses with the bride choosing the color. For those who serve in the role of wedding magician, or wedding planner, this selection helps set the theme for the wedding and determines many other elements of the wedding and reception.

As a couple, the bride and groom have certain responsibilities that cannot be designated to others, although suggestions are always invited. Among these are the minister, the church, and honeymoon destination. Once these decisions are made, the other elements such as the reception site, wedding cake design, and floral arrangements can be designed and ordered with the bride and groom's consent.

Wedding magicians can take many forms and many are not recognized for the contributions they make. One example is the parents who often not only provide the funding to pull off the couple's vision, but also provide support in so many other ways. Many a mother has spent the final hours before the wedding making guest favors and finishing dresses. They often are the ones that make the magic happen although they are rarely recognized as major contributors, even though their participation is appreciated.

Although a wedding planner may be considered too expensive for people planning a wedding they are really worth the cost. They will assist in all aspects of the event, not the least of which is the reception. They also have a variety of vendors available that often give significant discounts when working with the planner. For instance, the reception concerns finding the proper location, decorating, finding a caterer for the event, locating a good bakery to prepare the wedding cake, making guest favors, and many other things. They only goal is to ensure that the magic of the day is worth remembering for a lifetime.

A wedding magician is any person who can assist the bride and groom to make their wedding a beautiful memory that will last their entire lives. Sometimes it is someone hired, sometimes it is family or friends, but in any case, this person or persons involved will make the day seem magical for all involved. - 30290
