W orry not by Patti Samar gillian (CANN) Poretta formerly of port huron married charlie poretta on September 16, 2017 in port huron Who planned your wedding? I did it all myself. I had a “day-of” coordinator. The day-of coordinator is definitely a more affordable option than hiring a wedding planner. I created a schedule for everybody and for her. She helped us coordinate the walk down the aisle and she made sure all of the vendors were there and set up. She took care of the little things so I didn’t have to. At the end of the night, she made sure everything was cleaned up and taken care of. It was perfect. The day-of coordinator took all of the stress away. She hid all of the issues from me and made sure we were on time the whole day. It was great. What kept you organized: I created a bunch of spread sheets. We had a budget meeting with our parents. I’m really careful with money and I wanted to make sure we were getting a good deal. Overall, we were pretty frugal. What is she glad she spent money on: The photo booth. That was worth it. Also, our reception was at the Blue Water Convention Center and I wanted to create an intimate feel on the dance floor, so I designed a suspended bistro lighting system and had it hung from the ceiling. I think it was really worth it. I’m also glad we had real flowers. They added a really nice touch. dress shopping: It was the fourth dress I tried on. It was on the half off rack. I put it on and that was it. gillian poretta Warren, Michigan Photo: Megan Block-Brewer and Kathryn Bessette of Mulberry & Sage Photography words of wisdom: Communicate with everybody involved. The spread sheets were helpful in keeping track of everything. Just be organized. It was extremely stressful, but that’s what planning a huge party for 300 people is. If you don’t sweat the small stuff, then things will go wrong. If I was to do anything differently, I’d try and stress less. I’m high stress anyway. You just have to focus on a solution to any issue that comes along. It was all worth it, though because the day-of was absolutely perfect. I’m just so happy with the way it all turned out. It was perfect. It all felt just right. It just came together. 12 winter 2017 BlueWaterWoman.com
