When planning a wedding many of my brides think that they can get friends & family to help out. While that may be good for some I would have to say that I don't always recommend that. I've had many of the DIY brides that tell me, "Audrey, I want to do my own centerpieces and my MOH, BMs, & MOB have all promised me to be there to set up the centerpieces. I trust them with my life and therefore I TOTALLY trust them with this." I always recommend to the bride that although they may be your "knights in shining amor" don't trust them. They will be too busy getting ready themselves and will not even consider or even remember helping out. They always tend to forget. Please consider hiring professionals that do this for a living. It will give you peace in the long run knowing that you have hired a professional florist for example, who will deliver, set up, & break down. Don't try to be your own hero!
