Wedding pros! I'm looking for some guidance on this issue. I have a bride who just can't seem to make a decision on ANYTHING. I give her my professional advice on her questions/concerns (a few examples are what wedding colors to choose and should I include so-and-so in my bridal party), but she wants me to tell her what to do. It's not my wedding!
Any advice/suggestions?

I know how you feel...I have been dealing with the most indecisive Brides all week. Some are extemely rude and appreciative. I have been very honest in giving opinions when they ask, to the point my opinion is I think costing me a sale when I have a sale. I am ready to tell them EVERYTHING LOOKS JUST GORGEOUS ON YOU..NO MATTER WHAT..and let them get the gown and let them worry about that later. I
have worked with Brides that have gone thru the expense of already looking for another dress "just in Case" and have already spent a lot of money on a "back up" dress which they can't return. Don't they realize if they buy another dress they can't return it either???
I need some help here!!! Thanks, Cathy, www.collezionefortuna.com
I designed a questionnaire that uses word associations and phrases that I have the bride and the groom answer. They answer the questions from the perspective of themselves and the guests when thinking about the wedding and also the reception. I'm actually thinking of selling is as a planning tool because so many people have asked about it. 8) One of the pages is entitled "My Biggest Worries Are:"
The topics primarily are about ambience, activities, and looking back from the future...how they want to remember their day. It really helps them focus and a side benefit is that the groom gets involved and often has some amazing ideas!
Most brides dont have a clue how work and time is required in planning a wedding.There are so many reasons
why she cant decide. There may be a deep rooted reason, like inlaws maybe if you may a sit down with just the bride
she may open up.Just remember some of them know just what they want others dont.When they dont you must step up
its the whole reason she hired you. Be kind but firm she'll thank you in the end.

happy wedding all
I find if I have an indecisive Bride, I tell her that we need to make solid decisions because time is of the essence, time lines of contracts, hiring vendors and paying for services in a timely manner. Also making solid decisions cuts down on miscommunications between the Bride, Planner and a Vendor. Remind her if she doesn't make a solid decision, that she could be lacking in her Wedding and that you as her Planner would not advise her to do something that would make her look foolish in front of her guests. Remind her that her guests are coming to see her and also to see the quality of her event. I tell every one of my clients that I treat their event as if I am doing my daughter's or son's Wedding, and that it is a reflection on me as a Professional Planner as well. Hope this helps!
