It is said that there are such wedding "disasters" that can only be prevented by a wedding organizer or someone who, so to speak, knows "clothes". LĪGAVĀM explains what "crises" are possible at a wedding, so that this time we learn from strangers, not from our own mistakes.

Kibeles with clothes

A zipper breaks, a seam breaks, a button falls off or an unexpected stain happens before the wedding ceremony - all of these may seem like the biggest disasters, but a good wedding planner will deal with them as well.

If the wedding budget allows, it is recommended to hire a professional seamstress on the wedding day, who will not only iron the dresses of the bride and bridesmaids, but also monitor all the clothes involved and adjust them if necessary.

If, however, such an option cannot be included in the wedding budget, then you should definitely remember to take a thread and a needle with you, as well as find someone among the nearest guests who can sew, if the need arises.

Misdemeanors with transport

With transport, just like with technology, the most unimaginable things can happen at the most inopportune moments. The car driver may make a mistake in the route and take the bride or groom on a different route than intended.

In the end (especially if retro cars are involved) it may simply not work, possibly unknown road repairs and so on.

That is why it is always necessary to discuss the desired route with the driver, as well as to find out in advance whether there are any road repairs or mass events planned for this section of the road (for example, a bicycle marathon),

likewise, the organizer will always think of a "B" plan, in case the car has a technical problem.

Problems with wedding service providers

In this category, too, there can be a wide variety of quibbles. For example:

• The guitarist, who has to perform right after the wedding ceremony, happens to forget his instrument on the train or the band cancels their participation at the last minute;
• Photographer who has not prepared several memory cards;
• Or a decorator who forgot to leave some necessary props.

In order for a bug to remain just a bug and to avoid a disaster, the wedding organizer will have already taken care of a Spotify music selection to be played in case of need.

And it is often believed that a wedding organizer means a miracle worker, therefore, if necessary, he will find both the memory card needed by the photographer and, if necessary, the camera as well.

The advantage of wedding organizers is definitely the wide circle of contacts, which is useful not only when planning a wedding, but also when getting into unpredictable situations. Wedding agency organizer Dace Miezīte states that one of the problems that once greeted her was when the service provider did not bring the wedding cake.

Things that cannot be predicted but can be solved

Of course, there are things that even the wedding organizer cannot foresee. But a good wedding planner will definitely be able to handle any situation that comes his way.

For example, wedding organizer Alise Kolosova / Boutique Event Planning by Alise Kolosova remembers a wedding where the groom missed his own wedding because he overslept. Everything ended well - Alice incredibly quickly managed to arrange another marriage registration time, only a couple of hours later, but to calm the angry bride with a huge bouquet of roses, which she arranged for the groom to apologize to his beloved.

Unpredictable weather

If many things can be predicted, the weather in Latvia definitely does not fall into this category. If the wedding ceremony or even the entire celebration is planned under the open sky, then you cannot do without a "B" plan in this case.

Guest comfort is a very important prerequisite for a positive atmosphere at the wedding, so you need to think about transparent umbrellas or warm blankets for guests, as well as canopies if the wedding celebration is planned outdoors.
