So if this is the case, because it's one of the most memorable days of your life, why not seek professional advice to ensure you can have the best day possible. 

Most wedding planners offer an hour consultation. You may decide after speaking to a professional wedding planner that you can do this on your own. Many brides want to do it on their own. Many have dreamed about this day since being a little girl. However, a wedding planner should work with you, not dictate to you. Make sure you feel comfortable with your wedding planner, or the relationship could fail before it's started. But don't look at the cost of a wedding planner as another financial burden, as they can actually save you money; a good wedding planner will have many links in the wedding industry.
