Wedding consultants help people to plan weddings. Wedding consultants give advice on outfits for the bride and her attendants. They suggest colors, fabrics, and styles for dresses. They help choose suits for the groom and other male members of the wedding party. They also help the bride select her wardrobe for the honeymoon. Sometimes they help with fittings for these clothes. Wedding consultants may help prepare a budget for the wedding and assist the bride and groom as they pick out silver, china, glassware, linens, and other items for their new home. Consultants often keep a gift registry, which is a list of the couple's choices and purchases. The registry helps people choose a gift that the couple will like and that someone else has not already bought them.
Wedding consultants also help to make many of the plans for the wedding itself. For this they need to know about the customs of different religious or ethnic groups. They give advice on the etiquette, or proper manners, for the wedding. They sometimes help to choose, order, address, and mail the invitations. They may suggest and order flower arrangements and other decorations to use. They may hire musicians, photographers, caterers, and bakers. They may also organize the transportation for the wedding party and make travel and lodging arrangements for the bride and groom or for guests. Often they help the members of the wedding party with what they are wearing. Wedding consultants may also attend rehearsals and the wedding itself. Sometimes they send information about the wedding to newspapers.
