ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MAID OF HONOR by Susan Southerland 45
There are a number of roles in a wedding party, and perhaps the most important one is that of the Maid or Matron of Honor. The MOH is usually someone very close to the bride, someone the bride relies on in life as well as in wedding planning. So what do you need to know if you’ve been asked to be a MOH?

• You’ll need to save up. As a member of the bridal party, you’ll be responsible for paying for your bridesmaid’s gown, travel fees, and shower and wedding gifts for the happy couple. You’ll likely also incur out-of-pocket expenses when you plan the bridal shower and bachelorette party. To help offset costs, consider asking for help from other bridal party members and/ or family and friends of the bride. 47
• You’ll be called upon to play referee. Let’s face it: when you get a group of people (like a bridal party) together, there are bound to be differences of opinion. Do your best to guide the group in whatever direction the bride wishes, reminding them whose special day they’re celebrating.

• You’ll get to go shopping! The bride is probably going to want your help shopping for her gown, bridal party attire, accessories, favors, and any number of things for the wedding. Try to keep your calendar clear for her, especially in the three months leading up to the big day.
48
• You’ll need your best planning skills. The bride will rely heavily on you for a number of things. You might have to schedule the styling appointments for the bridal party, help make favors and address invitations, and create and carry an emergency kit on the wedding day. Whatever the bride needs, do your best to make it happen!

• You’ll help seal the deal. There are several essential tasks you’ll handle as the MOH. You’ll hold the groom’s ring and bride’s bouquet during the ceremony, witness and sign the marriage certificate afterwards, and give a speech during the wedding reception. In the end, if you perform your tasks to the best of your abilities, you’ll help make the wedding day absolutely perfect for the happy couple!

As the Maid/Matron of Honor, you’ll have a number of essential responsibilities. The most important one, though, will be to help keep the bride calm and positive throughout the planning process and on the big day. As long as you accomplish that, you can consider it a job well done! To view this and more planning content, visit HeadOverHeelsWeddingBlog.com

DESTINATION
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW! BY SUSAN SOUTHERLAND
Over the years, I’ve worked with many couples planning destination weddings. The idea of jetting away to another city or country and celebrating with only your closest family and friends can be very appealing! There’s a lot to be said about getting married in a location with tons of things to do and sights to see.
62

BEFORE YOU BOOK, THOUGH, THERE ARE FIVE THINGS EVERY COUPLE SHOULD KEEP IN MIND WHEN PLANNING A DESTINATION WEDDING:
BUDGET WISELY. Many couples think of destination weddings as a way to contain wedding costs, but expenses can add up quickly when considering travel, lodging, meals, and entertainment on top of the wedding itself. Be careful to budget for every part of your trip, and don’t forget to focus your attention on the reason for traveling in the first place: your dream wedding! 64
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! When choosing a destination for your wedding, be sure to think about more than just what will look amazing in pictures. How far is the venue from the airport? Will you and your guests be able to stay on property, or will transportation be required to get to the wedding? Is the ceremony space private or open to the public? Is there a limit to the number of guests who can attend? All of these questions should be considered when making a venue decision. 65
MAKE IT LEGAL.
66
Just because your destination officiant pronounces you, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re legally married. Consult with your wedding venue to see what paperwork they file and what you might have to do on your own. Also, check the requirements in your home country to make sure your marriage is properly registered with legal authorities.
THINK OF YOUR GUESTS. Asking guests to travel to a destination wedding often means asking them to invest a great deal of time and money. Consider presenting those you invite with a “total price� for them to attend your wedding so they can plan accordingly. Also, provide them options of things they can do while visiting your wedding destination. If they know they can craft a vacation out of it, the cost will be easier to justify. 67
DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF. When you venture away from home for a wedding, you lose osse some control over what happens. Collaborate with a wedding dddinng planner at your destination to make sure everything hinng you envision is accounted for ahead of time. Once Oncee you arrive, try to kick back, relax, and enjoy every moment of your destination weddingg experience. Remember, it’s not about the litt little tlee things…it’s about your new life together!
68
Destination weddings can be fun, intimate, romantic, and memorable for you and your guests. Do some legwork ahead of time to be confident that a particular destination works for you. Then you’ll be ready for a wedding that none of you will ever forget. Do you have a destination wedding story you’d like to share? We’d love to hear from you! 69

When people think of weddings, they generally think of things like colors and themes, or oral designs and music selections. But before any of those choices are made, a wedding budget has to be set. It might not be the most exciting part of wedding planning, but it is by far the most essential. 71
Establishing a budget will help you know whether you can afford a lavish plated dinner reception, or if you’re better off planning an intimate brunch wedding. Not sure where to begin or what to consider? Here are my top budget-planning tips:
1. Prioritize. I developed a worksheet that I use with the couples whose weddings I help plan. The worksheet lists all typical wedding expenses, from stationery and favors to venues. Couples go through the worksheet and prioritize each item, allotting more of their budget to the items that rank the highest. I highly suggest that all couples do this at the onset of wedding planning. 72
2. Whittle down that guest list. The easiest way to keep wedding costs down is to manage the guest count. Food and beverage (F&B) is generally the largest cost for any wedding, so it goes without saying that the less mouths to feed, the more money you’ll have to spend on other services.
3. Be realistic. Often, the couples I work with have little understanding of how much wedding services cost. Do your research. Understand why a bouquet of roses from a professional orist costs more than a cellophane-wrapped arrangement from the local grocery store, or why it’s worth investing in a professional photographer rather than asking Uncle Bill to bring his Nikon.
73
4. Stay on top of things. Budgets change frequently, so it’s important to review them on a regular basis. Using a budget calculator such as the one available on Perfect Wedding Guide can help you keep an eye on each budget line item as your plans progress.
5. Giveth and taketh away.
74
There’s a possibility that you might go over-budget on a line item or two. That’s okay, but be sure to adjust your budget on other line items to account for the overage.
6. Plan for the future, not just the big day. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of bringing your wedding vision to life, but don’t ever forget that this is just the first day of your future as a couple. It isn’t worth going into debt. Stay within your means and start your marriage off on the right foot! 75
Budgeting may not sound like the most fun part of planning your wedding, but taking the time to do so will help reduce your stress and keep you organized. Following these tips will help keep you in good shape leading up to the wedding day and beyond. If you have any other budgeting tips you’d like to share, please leave a comment!

3 REASONS
WHY VENDOR RELATIONSHIPS ARE BENEFICIAL by Kristen Ley
90
Unless you wed at a venue with a list of preferred vendors that you are contracted to use, finding the right vendors to pull off your vision can be tricky. Instead of traveling all over God’s Green Earth to interview countless wedding professionals, seek vendors in networking circles, as their relationships with one another will help make your planning that much easier. Once more, they’ll be happy to refer each other the business and maybe even extend a discount!
So you find a great wedding planner that you absolutely must use. The next step is asking them whom they recommend for the reaming aspects of your event, and here’s why: 1. Planners pick the vendors that best fit their clientele. Often juggling many vendors and coordinating multiple weddings at once, planners rely on their relationships with wedding professionals and trust that they will take care of his or her clients. To secure this mutually beneficial relationship, vendors invest their time and energy to get in with planners and have them serve as a referee by matching them with just the right couple. So know that the same amount of energy will be put into your event. 2. Vendors who have worked together in the past know how to compliment one another with décor and more, as they know each other’s styles. When it comes to making your vision a reality, they can communicate amongst themselves and bounce ideas off each other, rather than making you the middleman. You can be rest assured that the details will be taken care of. 3. Vendors help each other gain exposure and may pull in another wedding professional at no cost just to help them gain a presence. Sometimes, you’ll notice a decorator helping their friend, the florist, at a wedding. The trade off – both parties get to use the pictures to promote their businesses. And, going the extra mile to make the bride happy and hopefully get a positive review is worth their while. On the day of your “I Do,” you don’t want to turn into bridezilla because things aren’t getting done or issues arise. By seeking these vendors, you can relax and enjoy the experience of your wedding day knowing your team of professionals will ensure your vision is seamlessly brought to life.
