Corn Maze

Now that autumn has finally arrived, I've been out and about enjoying fall activities. I just returned from an event at a corn maze. No, it wasn't a wedding - but it certainly was fun and challenging!

What does a corn maze have to do with wedding planning, you ask? Actually, there are some similarities! At the beginning, everyone is very excited to enter - then as you go through it, you get confused and lost - shortcuts can lead you down unexpected and unwanted paths - then you finally find your way to the end - and when you get out, you want to do it all over again!

The best way to get through the maze of wedding planning is to have a plan. I work with my clients to create an engagement timeline, a plan of what tasks need to be accomplished every month. This plan allows everyone to be on the same page, and avoids taking a "wrong turn." There is no need to burn out during wedding planning, so long as you work your plan! Remember that you are planning a celebration of your love, but don't forget to take time to have fun along the way!

This post may be a bit corny (pun intended!), but I hope it gave you a different perspective on your wedding plans!

Until next time, happy planning....
