Frugal Bride

Ive been missing from my blog for 3 months. I considered it a necessary  break. i made time to look at my business from a different angle. My core business has always been wedding  planning and i have had many other support businesses on the side: catering, card business,  decor and sewing. Some are working out and some arent. i needed time to evaluate  what to keep and remove  from my list completely.  The former accountant side of me had to come in play. So within  the next 6 months, I'll have dropped some of my support  services and decided on a new business  strategy.

Now onto today's  article. I prefer to use the word frugal instead of budget bride. I still believe anyone can be on a budget. Even someone  with a million, five million or even five hundred thousand shillings  are all on  type of a budget irrespective of the amount  to spend. i had the opportunity to work with a frugal bride.  She was very economical in her spending and i must admit i can also refer to her as both a budget bride and DIY bride .

She had a budget like most would  but the goal was to lower it to almost  half the amount she had intended  to spend. She knew what she wanted and wouldn't  let last minute pressure change that. For a while the wedding dresses i have seen (not in terms of design), in quality of lace used to make hers was of really good one. She had taste but was very considered of how much she would spend while not compromising anything despite the pressure. Even when it came down to the food for her guests. she took time to select the best and had her caterer make and serve it.  She took the shortest time to plan a successful wedding. I work with all brides that are great and unique but this one left me with great lessons to learn from her.
