According to Sound Vision Staff Writer, June is the most popular month for weddings, then August, followed by September and October.
Here at Dr. Majznerski's office there are two of us staff members that have children getting married this summer - one in June and one in July.
We have had many conversations over the past year about venues, caterers, florists, photographers etc. Planning a wedding can be a lot of fun but also at times a bit overwhelming. There are so many decisions to be made and options to choose from.
The first hurdle my daughter and I had to jump was the wedding budget - how much money did she have to spend on her big day. Once that was decided, she had to put her priorities in order - what were the most important things to her and the groom and how much of her budget was she willing to put toward that service.
One of the more expensive items on the bride and groom's list is often the photography. As the mom of the bride, I know that the wedding pictures are high on my daughter's list. In the case of Sara and Danae, because their moms work for an orthodontist, they have beautiful smiles but I happen to know that for many brides to be this is not the case. In fact, having the wedding pictures taken can be a real source of anxiety.
Nothing is more rewarding than to have a soon to be bride or groom visit our office - looking into their options to get straight teeth before the "big day". It is not only fun to hear all about their plans but when they decide to proceed with orthodontic treatment, we get to watch their smile change before our eyes. Often as their smile changes, so does their confidence.
Invisalign treatment is a great option for the bride and/or groom. The treatment time is often less than one year which gives us just enough time to give them a beautiful smile. And in the unlikely case that treatment is not complete by the day of the wedding, the clear Invisalign trays (aligners as they are called) are removable so they could be removed for the wedding day and then put back in to finish up treatment after the wedding.
