The Ultimate Bridal Box Kit by Mary Noon

It’s staggering to think about but the average cost of a wedding in the United States is….wait for it: $25,200. I’ve heard  from many of my readers over the years about how hard it is to budget for weddings.  Why is it so hard? Well, because there’s such an emotional component to wedding planning.  Every bride wants a dream wedding with a gorgeous dress, a beautiful venue and a stunning reception to celebrate.  Unfortunately it can all add up to a pricey package.   Now a savvy wedding planner, Mary Noon,  has  prepared a helpful tool to help  anyone in planning a wedding.  Her set of Bridal planning tools is called the  Ultimate Bridal Box.  Here’s why the Ultimate Bridal Box can be such a life saver when you are trying to plan your special day (without going broke).

Ms. Noon wanted to create ONE tool that helps engaged couples through the whole process, while sharing lessons she’s learned. The cornerstone of the Ultimate Bridal Box is a book she wrote entitled, After the Ring. Most people know the basics of planning a wedding e.g., booking a venue, sending save-the-dates, ordering invitations, hiring a florist, DJ, photographer, etc., but they don’t know the proper questions to ask the vendors.  How do you know what to ask, if you’ve never thrown a wedding before?  The book clues you in with some valuable tips to ask during meetings with vendors and your family.   What do you really want? What is optional?  The book and the planning guide help you sort that out and encourages you to not be afraid to ask questions.

“Do not rush out and book all your vendors,” advises Mary Noon. ” Take your time and get at least three different quotes. You want to make sure the selected vendor is offering competitive pricing and it fits your budget.”
