Advice to brides: Hire a consultant
By BethNarans
Senior Editor
When most people think of wed
ding coordinators, the first thing that
comes to mind is the movie, “Father of
the Bride.” Franc, a wedding coordi
nator played by Martin Short, virtu
ally takes over the wedding, sparing
no details or costs to the bride and her
family.
The portrayal in that movie, how
ever, is a far cry from the truth, Beth
Alberts said. Alberts is a wedding
coordinator from Special Moments
Wedding and Party Shop, 4848 Nor
mal Blvd., in Lincoln.
wnen people asic me aoout con
sulting, I don’t take charge like Franc,”
Alberts said. “I like to go through the
things they’re interested in and work
from there.”
Alberts can advise the bride about
caterers, bakeries, photographers,
music and flowers. But most people
like to do a lot of that themselves, she
said.
“People are more interested in hir
ing me for the actual wedding day,”
she said.
On that day, a lot of brides don’t
have time to decorate the reception
hall and make sure everything, such as
the cake and flowers, is where it should
be. Alberts said that was where she
could come in handy.
“I’m a part of everything, but not
actually a part of it such as family as.
concerned. I can helpeverything work
out really comfortably.”
Usually Alberts charges 30 dollars
an hour for her time. When it comes to
doing the entire wedding, such as ar
ranging the flowers and providing fur
ther consulting, she works out a dif
ferent rate.
“My job is mainly to be here to
answer questions and give advice,”
she said. “The biggest advantage is
that you don’t have to worry whether
it Will get done or not. It will.”
Alberts spends a lot of her time
with mothers of brides, who often find
themselves running very short on time.

Albert’s services a lifesaver.
“I wanted to make all the decora

ran out of time. I bought all the mate
