The old wedding joke goes that brides tend to choose ugly bridesmaid dresses, while exclaiming to their attendants,The a-line dress  is one of fashion's most enduring and flattering styles. "You can wear it again and again!" 

Hopefully, Kendall Poole's friends are exceptions to that idea, because Poole has a collection of 20 bridesmaid dresses by now. Poole's experience as a 20-time bridesmaid across 15 years gave her the experience to make the jump to wedding planning full-time. She has witnessed firsthand the chaos that goes on behind the scenes, and her main goal is to allow everyone involved in the wedding to actually enjoy the big day. She says her job as a coordinator is to be the one to make those hard decisions, so that everyone else can relax. 

"I have had the pleasure of visiting 11 countries, lived on the 11th floor in New York, 11 is in my phone number and address," she says. To top off her business' first anniversary, Poole launched a Facebook campaign, with the help of her good friend Jeff Good, to receive 1,111 "likes" by Nov. 11.Motel Deborah Long Sleeve cheap mother of the bride dresses in Black. "It was almost equal to watching the polls," Poole says. Although Kendall Poole Event Planning is only a year old, Poole has planned 25 weddings under her professional organization. 

Born and raised in Rankin County, Poole has coordinated events since she was in high school, starting with pep rallies, birthday parties and homecoming parades. "This is definitely my agape, a blessing from the Lord," she says. "I consider my business almost as a ministry, I want my couples to focus more on planning their marriage, not just a wedding.We Offer Cheap Foral gown." 

It is evident that Poole is following her passion. For each wedding she handles, she makes sure to allow herself time to listen and understand the couples,See all the looks from the Rina di Montella Haute Couture autumn/winter 2012 collection. so that their wedding will not only be a symbol of their love, but also a reflection of them as a couple. 

"You don't know what you are paying me for until after it's over," she says. 

Poole's job also puts her into a position where she plays counselor to soon to be husbands and wives by reminding them the reason of why they are getting married. 

"As long as you are keeping your marriage the number-one priority, then everything else will fall into place," she says. 

Many of Poole's clients arise from word of mouth, and she feels more than blessed to work with so many wonderful vendors to help create such a special day for the bride and groom. 

A photographer once told Poole, "People never know how good you are at your job, because you have already taken care of the problem," and those words still stick with Poole to this day. 

Crisler Boone, my wedding planner, was a huge help in all the planning. I am not the bride who likes to meet 10 times over tablecloth colors and although most brides these days love the do-it-yourself attitude, I am definitely not a DIY type of bride. Having a great planner took care of nine of those meetings. I only had to attend one. (Jacob, of course, got out of all them—he loved that). 

#We got married Nov. 17 at The South. Having over a year to plan a wedding was a great choice for us. I could not imagine planning a wedding in under a year. The stress of making sure my dresses fit, getting bridal photos, and picking out bridal party attire and invitation design was hard enough. 

#I also loved having Wendy Putt at Fresh Cut handle our food, flowers and decor. What Boone didn’t handle, Putt did. Having these two local experts responsible for most of the wedding was amazing. Their expertise took so much unneeded worry and stress off my mind and body. 

#The day of the wedding, I was full of so many emotions. My sweet bridesmaids rented out a room in Julep for brunch. The fun and food helped keep my mind off the nerves. I was not nervous until I started to get my hair and makeup done. The rush of all the planning and stress was all coming out in that moment.Time to find a beautiful mori lee bridesmaid dresses? 

#Once I got to The South, I realized it was all worth it. Everything was perfect. The only thing left was for Jacob and me to see each other. Once Jacob and I had our sweet and loving reveal during the pre-wedding photo session, I was ready to walk down the aisle and get married.
