What is the difference between a wedding designer and a wedding planner?

The difference between a wedding designer and a wedding planner is that the wedding designer focuses on the esthetic (look and feel) aspects of the event, while the planner is more focused on the logistics (budget, timing, venue negotiations) of the wedding or event. Many wedding planners do promote design services as well, but they are two distinct disciplines so Little Sister Creative focuses on the design aspect of your wedding or event experience.

How much does a wedding designer cost?

A wedding designer will cost a couple varying amounts depending on the scope, complexity, and size of their wedding.  Little Sister Creative will focus on understanding your wedding budget and in defining a plan for the wedding design to fit into that budget.

How soon before the wedding do I need to hire a wedding designer?
