Dear Monet,

Just call me nervous bride. My wedding is in early November and while it’s still three months away, I’m already dreading my lack of direction in terms of preparing for the big day.

I read your articles about weddings and I would like to know if it’s really as breezy as you make it sound. I’ve consulted wedding planning books but I feel like I’m missing a personal, real-person advice.

I just want a simple wedding and yet it seems that planning for the simplest of weddings can still be complex. My fiance and I are operating on a very tight budget because of the slow economy. I cannot afford a wedding planner.

We have so many bases to cover--flowers, DJ/entertainment, lighting, catering, decor, souvenirs, and make-up for the bridal party.

Because I’m the bride, everybody is looking to me to make things happen. My fiance tries to help out but God bless his heart, he is even more clueless than me (no offense, sweetheart!).

I’m aware that besides being a stylist, you are also an event producer so please I have questions that I hope you can answer, Monet.

1. Can you recommend quality vendors that are inexpensive?

2. For bridal make-up, are you expensive? Can I afford you?

3. I don’t want to look too made up at my wedding, can you work around my simple style? (I already had a trial with a stylist but I was not in love with the look she gave me)

4. Is it too late to book you?

I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Natalia S.
