I am always aware of this very negative spirit, and steer the bride to vendors that fit her budget. Or, as suggested in the article to enlist the help of the vendor in making the project more affordable. Of course, timing is so important in this situation. If you make an accurate budget and work on an order that fits the budget is kinder to your vendors than a panic attack at the end.

It is up to us as consultants to educate the bride early on how important it is to realistically evaluate what you can afford and what you cannot.

I love the previous post mentioning “superpowers.” How true.

Thank you for writing this excellent article.
