There’s so much that goes into planning a wedding. From choosing a venue to picking colors, flowers, food, a cake, and finalizing a million tiny little details, it can be a long, stressful process. It takes so much effort, in fact, that many couples hire a wedding planner to help them through the process.

Weddings can be big or small, formal or casual, but they are all about celebrating the love of the couple. Whether a wedding took two years or two days to plan, it will always be a special day in that couple’s lives, the single event that marked the beginning of their life as a married duo. While some couples have very small weddings or even elope and keep the day between themselves and maybe a few people close to them, many others choose to invite all of their family and friends.
