I contemplated getting a wedding coordinator. We're on a tight budget since my FI and I are paying for the wedding ourselves but I still wanted everything to look beautiful. I met with one coordinator who wanted $7,000 just to do my reception. I nearly fainted. I knew she was going to be expensive since she had flown to Paris to do a wedding and is doing one in Dubai this summer for some royalty. Hey, I may think I'm a princess but I definitely don't have the deep pockets of one! A really sweet girl from TheWeddingBee.com recommended Paola from Just Chic Events. I loved her already because we shared the same name. But after speaking to her a few times, I knew I wanted her to help plan this for me. She showed me the details of her own wedding from last year and I instantly fell in love. We share the same color choices. I want my floral arrangements to be fusia and orange with a hint of green and the decor to be pink and brown. I'm meeting with her on Thursday and if all goes well, I got myself a coordinator!! Check out her blog!

Update on coordinator:
I met with Paola yesterday and she is truly wonderful! I am even more excited now about the wedding than ever. FI and I decided that we want her to coordinator our day. YAY!! I have a coordinator! :)
