THE WEDDING PLANNING TIMELINE
This wedding planning timeline does not give you the time in months because some people have 12 months to plan a wedding, others 12 weeks while others just 12 days.

This wedding planning guide is therefore to help you organize the activities you need to look into as you plan any wedding regardless of how much time you have to help the bride and groom prepare for their big day.
a) Collect The Money
Knowing how much the bride and groom (B and G) have decided to spend on their wedding and honeymoon is important because it helps you set up a budget as well as begin locating wedding service providers within their price range.

In addition, it also helps you set your fee since most wedding planners earn at least 10% of the total wedding budget. Therefore once you know how much they are willing to spend on the wedding, you can then agree on how much you will be paid and when you will be paid. For instance you can ask for an upfront deposit and then agree on when the balance will be paid.

To help the B & G collect the money for their wedding, you can:
1. Advice them to pool their wedding savings into a separate account from their daily expenses
2. Ask them if they want to politely solicit additional funds from their parents and other well wishers.

***

b) Choose The Guests
Knowing how many guests the B & G want to invite to their wedding is another important number that will help you plan the wedding well. Therefore, find out how many people they are willing to accommodate.

In addition, remind them that financial contributors to their wedding may also want to invite some of their own guests and so they have to take those numbers into consideration. Examples include parents who are footing some of the wedding costs who may want and should be entitled to invite some of their own friends to the wedding.

***

c) Choose The Venue
After deciding on the size of the guest list, the next step is to choose and book a venue for the wedding ceremony and reception that can cater for that number of guests.

Pick a venue, pay the deposit fees and sign the booking contracts after visiting the venues and ascertaining that they are up to the bride’s and groom’s standards of expectation.
This is also the stage to arrange for the reading of the marriage bans if they have to be read before the B and G get married and also to book the wedding rehearsal dates.

WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS (EOs)?
The characteristics of essential oils include:
1. Essential oils are essences extracted from plant material. For example lavender essential oil is extracted from the flowering tops of the lavender plant. Rose essential oil is extracted from the rose flower, eucalyptus from the leaves, ginger from the roots, sandalwood from wood, orange from the fruit, celery from the seeds, cinammon from the bark, frankincense from the gum.


Note that, different essential oils can be produced from the same plant. For example the bitter orange plant Citrus aurantiumn produces orange essential oil from its fruit rind, neroli essential oil from its flowers and petitgrain essential oil from its leaves.


***

LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Do not use it in pregnancy especially the first 3 months.
2. Do not use it if you are breastfeeding.
3. Do not use it on young children as it may cause breast development in boys (gynaecomastia) and girls (pre-pubescent breast development).
4. Avoid it if you have low blood pressure as you may feel drowsy after using it.
5. Do not use it alone for more than 2-3 months as it may lead to sensitization. 
6. Do not confuse essential oils with fragrance oils as the latter are not the natural essences.

HOW CAN I USE LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL TO MANAGE STRESS?
The following are 36 different ways to use essential oils to manage stress. Note that we have just used lavender essential oil in our illustrations because this book is for the beginner who may just have that one essential oil. 


If you have bought several essential oils you can still use the same recipes by adjusting them. For example if a recipe says add 12 drops of lavender essential oil, you should add a total number of 12 drops is you are using lavender and other essential oils. 

1. Bath Gel. Add 150 drops (7.5 ml or 1 ½ teaspoons) of lavender essential oil to one cup (8oz or 250 ml) of unscented bath gel or liquid soap to create a relaxing bath gel for bathing or showering.


2. Body Scrub. Scrub the stress away by adding 150 drops (7.5 ml or 1 ½ teaspoons) of lavender essential oil to one cup (8 oz or 250 ml) of sweet almond oil or any other carrier oil. Mix it with ½ cup of Epsom salts or brown sugar or white sugar. Rub if all over your body to remove the dead skin cells then rinse it off to reveal baby soft skin.


3. Body Splash. Add 150 drops (7.5 ml or 1½ teaspoons) of lavender essential oil to one cup (8 oz or 250 ml) of distilled water in a spray bottle and use it to spray your body whenever you need to refresh and relax.  


4. Hair Rinse. Add 150 drops (7.5 ml or 1½ teaspoons) of lavender essential oil to 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of vinegar and then add this mixture to 1 cup (8 oz or 250 ml) of warm water and use it as your final rinse after shampooing your hair.   


5. Potpourri. Dry your favorite flowers or collect or buy dried roses, lavender buds and cinnamon sticks. Add 250 drops of lavender essential oil to one cup of dried flowers. Mix thoroughly and put the mixture in a container with a tight lid.
