Wedding Planner vs. Day-of Coordinator: Why Partial Planning Might Be the Best Fit for Your Edmonton Wedding
Planning a wedding is an exciting adventure, but it can quickly become overwhelming with all the details to juggle. While some couples want full-service support from a wedding planner, others prefer to take the reins and bring in a professional just for the final stretch with a month-of coordinator. But what if you need something in between?
At Blush & Bordeaux, we’re proud to offer a solution that combines the best of both worlds: Partial Planning. Whether you’re envisioning a classic ceremony in downtown Edmonton or a rustic celebration in the countryside, our Scarlet package ensures you handle the fun parts of wedding planning while we take care of the hard parts.
Let’s explore how partial planning bridges the gap between a traditional wedding planner and a month-of coordinator, and why it might be perfect for your Edmonton wedding.
Wedding Planning Options: The Basics
Before diving into why partial planning is the ideal middle ground, let’s quickly recap the two most common services:
Wedding Planners: Full-Service Experts
Wedding planners are involved from start to finish. They help with every detail, from creating a budget to finalizing your wedding theme, finding vendors, and coordinating logistics. While this service is perfect for couples who want a hands-off approach, it may feel like too much if you want to stay actively involved in planning.
Month-of Coordinators: Short-Term Support
Month-of coordinators step in 4–6 weeks before your wedding to handle last-minute details, finalize timelines, and ensure everything runs smoothly on the big day. This service is great for DIY couples but doesn’t provide much help during the earlier planning stages.
Introducing Partial Planning: The Best of Both Worlds
Partial planning is designed for couples who want to enjoy the planning process but need professional assistance with the trickiest parts. Our Scarlet package at Blush & Bordeaux is tailored to provide just the right amount of support, so you can relax knowing the challenging tasks are in expert hands.
