How a Budget Breakdown Can Guide All of Your Wedding Expenses

Whether you’ve been engaged for a while or only for a minute, you’ve probably already heard - from family members or friends - how planning a wedding will be a true test of resilience and maturity for your relationship. As annoying as it can be (we’ve all been there with the unsolicited advice and ad nauseam cliches, we totally get it!), it’s actually a pretty on-point assessment. Although it’s a wonderful occasion to plan for and an especially special milestone to make a big deal of [and why shouldn’t it be? you’re leveling up your love!], getting all of the preparations underway isn’t child’s play - it’s hard work and will have you experiencing a range of emotions and highs and lows from beginning to end. 

Budget planning: understanding how much money you want to spend in total, taking stock in where the contributions will be coming from, and allocating those resources to budget ‘buckets’ with intention and a balance of indulgence and restraint is a big responsibility and something that’s particularly stressful (no matter how much you have to spend!). That’s why once you’ve gotten to celebrate your engagement and live in your cloud 9 bridal bubble for a comfortable amount of time, you’ll want to tackle these bigger picture conversations early on in your planning stages and key in on your pre-aisle action items.

The Anatomy Of An Invitation Suite: What’s Included?

There is a lot of flexibility in what pieces can and should be included in an invitation suite. While a few pieces are vital, stationery is designed to fit your event and what you need, uniquely. 

“The typical invitation suite includes what we call The Basics: invitation, reply card and envelopes for both. Most clients will also have a details insert of some kind, and some order a custom map.”

How Much Do NYIAD Courses Cost?

If you want to pursue a career in the creative industry, you might find yourself exploring education requirements before you get started. For many people, this process can be confusing. Unlike other industries like medicine or law, where the education and credentials needed to start working are extremely straightforward, when it comes to jobs like interior design or wedding planning, many people aren’t sure what training is required.  

For students who are especially concerned at the prospect of spending tons of money on a college degree or taking out student loans, it’s important to get all the facts about what education you actually need in order to start working- before you invest in unnecessarily expensive training options.  

Education requirements for creative professionals  

At NYIAD, we often receive questions about what education different creative professionals are required to receive, such as- do interior designers need a certificate or a degree, do graphic designers need to go to college, etc.  

To use interior design as an example, asking whether it’s necessary for an interior designer to have a design degree is like asking whether you need a writing degree to become a writer. While investing in a college education in creative writing is no doubt a valuable and rewarding pursuit, it’s also expensive and time consuming- and countless writers have successful, rewarding careers without one. The same is true for designers.  

However, to continue using interior design as an example- this is not the case for say, a commercial architect, who is legally required to earn a degree before working on any legitimate design projects. So when it comes to your need of a college degree in design, it truly depends on what you plan on doing with it. 

You absolutely do not need an interior design degree in order to become a professional interior designer, to complete projects for clients, or even to run your own interior design business. Lauren Liess was a NYIAD student (here’s her grad story), and not only did she launch a massively successful interior design career, she now has her own show on HGTV and is a published author of design. So for aspiring designers who feel like they can’t get into the industry because they can’t afford a degree, that’s simply not the case. 

How Much Do NYIAD Courses Cost? 

The cost of a NYIAD course depends on which course you are enrolling in, whether or not NYIAD is running a special offer, and which payment plan you opt into.  

Considering all those factors, the cost of NYIAD programs currently runs anywhere from $559-$1,359. For a full, updated list of the cost of all NYIAD programs on any given day, you can check the special offers page on our website.  

To quote the blogger and photographer behind NYC’s York Avenue Blog (she took NYIAD’s interior design course),  

“The entire (NYIAD) program cost a little over $1200. For comparison’s sake, the New York School of Interior Design costs $915 PER CREDIT. Their Basic Interior Design program is 24 credits. 24 times 915 = a little under $22,000. Yikes.” 

Does NYIAD Offer Payment Plans?  

Yes. At NYIAD, we offer our students two payment plans to choose from: The Full and the Monthly Payment Plans. With the Full Payment Plan, you are paying for your entire course, in full, at the time of your enrollment. With this option, you are saving money on the full cost of your program. With this option, you also gain access to all your course materials right away. 

With the Monthly Payment Plan, you are able to get started for one low down payment (usually around $59, depending on which course you are taking), and then make monthly payments as you go (usually around the same $59 amount). With this option, you will be unlocking course materials as you make your monthly payments.  

Does NYIAD Offer Risk-Free Trials of Their Courses?  

Yes! With either payment plan you opt into as a new student, you will be covered by our 14 day no-risk refund policy. You can try your course for up to 14 days, and if you’re not satisfied for any reason, we will refund every penny, no questions asked. 

Pursue your creative career with NYIAD  

If you want to start a career in a creative industry and you think that NYIAD could be a good fit for your training and your budget, you can get started whenever you’re ready to dive in.  

Our courses are entirely online and self-paced, meaning there are no start dates, class times or project due dates- you make your own schedule from home. You can enroll and get started online or call 1-800-583-1742 to get started over the phone with one of our student services representatives.

From Moody To Airy: This Is Your Master List Of Every Type Of Wedding Photography Style

Finding the right fit is far more complicated than simply Googling “wedding photographers near me.” Before you can decide on a photographer, you need to determine what kind of photos feel like to you! 

We believe that for every great image, there were at least three major factors that went into its creation.

1. Their artistry, approach, and methodology.
2. The media/format of the camera used (film vs. digital vs. hybrid) to capture it.
3. The post-processing and editing techniques used to produce the final image. 

And of course, the talents, training, and expertise required to put it all together! 

As you pour through blogs, websites, and social media feeds looking for photographers, think about the considerations above! Really look at things like body language, composition, lighting challenges, and special effects (often applied after the fact), and think about trends versus tradition. All great photographers know how and when to manipulate a shot—no matter whether that manipulation occurs before or after the moment is captured—but they also know when to leave great moments alone. Sometimes, a little subtle tinkering with a setting or gentle guidance through a portrait session can transform a pretty picture into one of those immediate hang-on-the-wall shots. Other times, it’s the authenticity and inimitable emotions that flood from the frame that make the beauty. 

Approach + Aesthetic + Format + Post Production Process + Personality + Consistency = STYLE

We know what can happen, so we’re prepared for affairs small and grand, serendipitous elopements or those planned, and everything micro-wedding-fitting, because we’re 100 percent stans. To our couples, our vendors, our venues, and our readers, let’s make 2021 the best year yet! 

Of course, with the arrival of a new year, we’re always quick to think about trends that we know will be popping up all over the 2021 nuptials landscape. But, this time around, we think it’d probably behoove us to look more at trends for the whole year versus trends for each season. COVID brought a lot of bad with it, but one of the silver linings to its pursuit of undoing is the dissolution of templatized events, gatherings, social experiences, and general time spent together. When it comes to one of the biggest and most momentous occasions then, a wedding, there isn’t a formula that couples have to show allegiance to anymore. You can go rogue and have it translate into the most resplendent, creative, and talk-worthy event ever.
