Everyone should know by these record temperatures that Summer is officially here. The fireworks will be lighting the night sky all around this country and kids will be playing in sprinklers and eating watermelon like there's no tomorrow.
Summer is one of those fabulous times when one gets to thinking about all the plans for the Fall, well at least in my industry. The fashion mavens are launching their winter collections and brides are talking about what fall colors are appropriate without being too cliche.
Summer is one of my favorite times because I don't need an excuse to keep my bathing suite on 20 hours a day and wear nothing on my feet except flip flops. My garden is flourishing despite the heat and I have more than enough safe tomatoes to eat, or whatever they deem "contaminated" next.
Many of my clients don;t realize that the summer is a great time to find savings when you are planning your event. Many photographers, florists, rental companies, etc. are offering specials or discounts on certain items or services. If you are a gambler, you can save quite a bit of money if you wait until summer to book some big ticket items. Lucky brides who opt for a planner should be guided to these specials and savings and having the negotiating power of a seasoned planner certainly doesn't hurt either.
So I say to all you procrastinators out there: get planning! The cool breezes of October will soon be on our doorstep and your super fabulous event needs more fabulousness.
