One of the newest trends in wedding planning is having a short engagement. Gone are the days where you have to have 12-18 months of planning your big day, and if you don’t have that you’re forced to elope. Author of Hitched in a Hurry, Karley Kiker, has compiled a series of do’s and don’ts she found in planning her own wedding, which she did in a mere four months. For brides with less than six months to plan, the book includes tips, charts and organizational tools to make it easy to know what to do and where to go first.
Calling it “The Ultimate How-To For a Speedy ‘I Do,’” the book has been such a success, that the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa has partnered with Karley to help brides with little time to plan every detail of their dream day. The “Hitched in a Hurry Wedding Package” includes a number of extra “perk” services including, but are not limited to:
