Out with the old and in with the new – weddings today are not what they once were. Waning traditions and a newfound love for personalized experiences have taken over the wedding industry and couples today are seeing their big day in a whole new light. Simply put, societal expectations for weddings have just changed, which has caused a little confusion for couples as to what steps they need to take, when, and in what sequence, in order to plan the celebration of their dreams.
In this interview, Lara Mahler, founder and lead planner of wedding planning company THE PRIVILEGE IS MINE, breaks down the different approaches you can take while planning your wedding and offers examples of resources that can help along the way. During our conversation, she continuously offers bits of wisdom and advice for the couples struggling through the decision-making process and specific questions they can ask themselves to ensure the end result is a beautiful and genuine representation of their unique taste and priorities.
During this interview, Lara also discusses her online planning platform, TPIM ONLINE, which offers free and paid subscription services for couples planning their weddings. Not only does the platform offer a vendor directory and an open discussion board for the community, but Lara also hosts regular webinars on various topics in hopes of providing clarity and direction to those who need it most.
