CREATING THE WEDDING BUDGET
        The best plan for creating a wedding budget is taking a series of important steps before making your first plan or purchase. You can't create a realistic budget, without knowing approximately what things cost in your area. For instance, you don't want to create a budget and then get stunned when you find out that photography packages start at N150,000 in your area when you only budgeted N50,000 for that.

1. Do plenty of research, invest your time in meeting with all kinds of experts, getting printed price lists, and really knowing the ballparks of what everything costs. Then sit down and look at your available funds to figure out what kind of wedding you will have.

2. Talking with parents and relatives, to see if they will be willing and able to help pay for some of the wedding expenses or the whole wedding. (Not all parents can split the bill or foot the bill these days. Many offer to pay for the makeup or cake or the honeymoon, etc.)

3. Make a Priority List of which wedding elements are important to you (catering, entertainment, makeup, decoration, gown, and photos) and by doing the math, you decide you'll spend, say, 75% of your budget on those things, while spending less on (or doing without) the others. It may take a few steps and some extra time, but it's so worth it to create a good, flexible budget that keeps you reined in, yet still able to spend a little more than you planned for here and there without a ton of guilt. The best budgets are just there to guide you, not make you feel guilty or stressed...they're designed to keep you from losing control.

Happy new Month!

CLIENT BRIEF vs CLIENT BUDGET
Everyone wants to save money these days. But there are always couples who expect a lavish party or event on a very strict budget. Good news! There are ways to keep your costs in check and still give your wedding a taste of luxury!

Set expectations early!

If you are planning the wedding yourself or you hire an event planner, your first duty is to set your expectations right off the bat. You need to understand that your budget won't get you everything you want. Talk with your spouse about where you are willing to scale back to save on costs, and where you want to spend the most. Have examples of some compromises ready for them to choose from.

CUT COST WHERE NECESSARY
LOCATION- An outdoor wedding would cost more than one done in a hall.

PRINTING- Instead of spending money on printing IV's, create a website for the event and send IV's via emails. Then print IV's for the very important people.

DECOR- Here's where many people break the bank without even intending to do so. Instead of flowers as centrepieces, you can use a simple candle arrangement.

AREAS YOU SHOULD NOT CUT COST ON
These 3 areas are where I would strongly discourage you to save cost on:
- FOOD
- ENTERTAINMENT
- PHOTOGRAPHY- You won't forgive yourself if you end up with bad pictures, even if the event didn't go as planned.
At La' Heiress, we find a meeting point between our client's brief and our client's budget, even with small budgets, we would finetune your brief to meet your expectations.

January BYE, February HI.. Thank you Lord for the month of January. It's been you all the way.

PICKING THE PERFECT WEDDING DATE
           Choosing a wedding date is like a puzzle. Trying to fit together all of the different elements to consider can be a bit tricky, especially with 365 (or more) days to choose from. Here are the major things you should think about when choosing a wedding date.

CONSIDER THE SEASONS OF POTENTIAL WEDDING DATES. Perhaps the first thing to consider is what season you want to get married in. Rainy, sunny or harmattan seasons?

WHICH DAY OF THE WEEK? Do you definitely want a Saturday wedding, or do you want to save money by having it on a Sunday or weekday? If most of your wedding guests are in town and not traveling, you might also consider having a weekday wedding, when there will be discounts and more availability of locations.

MARKING SPECIAL OCCASIONS WITH YOUR WEDDING DATE. Many couples love the idea of getting married on Valentine’s Day (February 14th), or you could get married on the anniversary of the day you met, or honor your parents or grandparents by choosing their wedding date. (Not if your parents are divorced though). You could also get married on one of your birthdays.

MAKE SURE YOU AVOID CERTAIN WEDDING DATES. The last thing you want to do is have your wedding on an important religious holiday. You want wedding guests to be happily present, not resentful.

CONSULT KEY GUESTS. If your sister is writing her final exams or your parents will be out of the country, that’s not a good wedding date. Don’t worry about too many people, only those who absolutely must be there.

CONSULT YOUR FAVORITE WEDDING LOCATIONS AND VENDORS. If you really want your wedding ceremony at your church, or the reception at your city's most beautiful hall, you’ll want to make sure they’re available before you start sending out Save The dates.

WEDDING STRESS MANAGEMENT.
I don't have to tell you that people planning weddings are stressed out. Between money, time, and general expectations, if you can break down where that stress is coming from, it will be easier to deal with.

5. WEDDING VENDORS. These people want to make money and will pressure you into getting the more expensive option. Have a budget and stick to it. If you're tempted by what they offer that is more expensive, say firmly, "That's not in my budget, I'll have to get back to you."

4. WELL MEANING OPINIONS OF OTHERS. Everyone will want to know the details of your wedding and everyone will have an opinion. Listen to what they have to say, but with a grain of salt. They are not the ones getting married, YOU are.

3. YOUR PARENTS. These people stress us out for various reasons our entire lives, why would they stop now? Whether it's complaining about money you're spending or wanting to have a hand in everything, parents have that special knack to stress us out. Sit down with your parents early in the wedding planning process to find out if they want to give you money for your wedding and how much. Before you go any further, get them to agree on a set number of people they'll be inviting. Don't promise your mother something if you haven't talked to your fiance about it first.

2. DON'T FORGET TO BUDGET! Make sure you sit down at the beginning of the process, agree on how much money you're going to spend, and stick to it! 

1. EACH OTHER. It's true, the number one person who will stress you out the most is the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with. This is mostly because weddings are stressful. The most common complaints are "He's not doing anything to help with the wedding" and "she never talks about anything other than the wedding." Sit down with a wedding planner and divide up the list of tasks into bride's, groom's and together. Each of you will know what you are responsible for.

CHOOSING THE WEDDING RING

WHAT MATERIAL IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Wedding rings comes in different metals, silver, gold, platinum, titanium, wood. A number of factors will determine the options available to you:

BUDGET. Silver, wood and titanium rings tend to be priced at the lower end of the spectrum. 9ct gold rings tend to come next and then 18ct gold, with 22ct gold and platinum rings fetching the highest prices.

DURABILITY. If you’re looking for a wedding ring to sit alongside an engagement ring, a practical choice would be to select a wedding ring in the same metal as your engagement ring. Some metals are softer than others, and wearing a softer metal next to a harder one can mean that the softer one is worn away over time.

COLOUR. If you decide you’d prefer a ring in a white metal, you can choose between silver, steel, titanium, 9ct or 18ct white gold, palladium or platinum. When it comes to white gold, you may decide to have your ring rhodium plated, which gives white gold a whiter appearance. If you like the colour of yellow gold, bear in mind that 9ct yellow gold is a paler colour than 18ct. And when it comes to rose gold, 9ct is a deeper colour than 18ct, which has a softer tone.

WHAT PROFILE AM I LOOKING FOR?
The term ‘profile’ describes the shape of the cross-section of a ring. A ring with an ‘oval’ profile will be slightly rounded on the inside and outside. A ring with a ‘rectangular’ section will have a flat inside and outside, with straight edges.

WHAT WIDTH WOULD SUIT ME MOST?
Some hands are most flattered by a narrow ring, and others suit chunkier, wider styles. It’s only by trying on different rings that you’ll get a sense of what suits you best.

WHAT FINISH AM I LOOKING FOR?
From rings with a rough, hammered, organic finish, to those with a fine texture, to those that are highly polished. It all really depends on what you want or prefer, like they say, one man's meat is another man's poison.

So about this weekend... We had a great time at a burial ceremony in Ibadan. The Event was organized by Oyinkan of Beauti4ashes Events. Client was really impressed and some female guests gave some of the hostesses money to show appreciation. We exhausted all our business cards. We are glad the guests were happy with our services. Our official photographer (xtrm Creations) couldn't make it as he had another event to cover this weekend, so we had to make do with our phones We missed you oh! We still couldn't get a full shot of all of the girls at once. Thank you Lord for yet another successful event.

A big thank you to all our hostesses for always delivering quality at all our events and for allowing La' Heiress to continue to be in business. We love you and God bless you all!

5 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO AFTER YOUR WEDDING IS OVER.

After all the wedding festivities wind down, your big day is still probably all you'll be able to think about. You'll want to ride that post-wedding high for as long as possible, but then, before you know it, you've been married for six months! Here are 5 things you should do after your wedding is over:

1. SEND OUT THANK YOU NOTES- Your friends and family travelled from near and far to be with you on your special day, and they probably got you nice gifts as well. So don't wait too long to complete this important task, we suggest you and your partner block out some time to take care of it as soon as your honeymoon is over.

2. HAVE YOUR WEDDING DRESS CLEANED AND/OR PRESERVED- If you're planning on keeping your wedding dress for posterity, you should have your dress professionally cleaned as soon as possible. Even if you don't think your future daughters will wear your dress some day, you may decide to rent it to other brides who may show interest.

3. REVIEW YOUR VENDORS- Your wedding vendors worked tirelessly to make your day feel special, so return the favor by posting a great review on wedding boards or on their social media pages. It's a great way to express your gratitude and help your vendors grow their business. Don't just do it for them, do it so that other couples can discover your amazing makeup artist or efficient event planner. I think it's just good karma! I would love a review from a satisfied client to boost my market. (Just saying)

4. TAKE DOWN YOUR WEDDING WEBSITE- If you're paying to host your wedding website, you'll definitely want to take it down after the big day to cut costs. Your wedding website may show up in Google results when people search for your name. Remove from the Web if you don't want people to see them.

5. LEGALLY CHANGE YOUR NAME- Changing your name on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter is the easy part, but you also need to make time to do it legally. Collect the necessary documents, like your passport, driver's license, to name a few. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that you'll create more headaches for yourself (especially when it comes to travel arrangements) or you might even end up misplacing your marriage license. (Not that we've ever done that...) Commit to your name change early to make your transition into married life much easier.

We hope you find this helpful. If you need professional help, please contact us via email- bakare.lamide@gmail.com or call any of the numbers below. Thank you.
