How to Prepare.

START PLANNING

If you haven’t already, now is the time to start planning all the aspects of the day including your timeline. Make sure you are keeping notes as you start to work with your vendors to prepare all of the details for your special day.

MAKE A LIST

There is so much to do, the last thing you want to do is forget a critical part in your planning process. A good way to prevent this is to start making lists to keep you on track. You’ll be glad you did!

COORDINATE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS

You don’t have to do this all yourself. Lean on your family and friends to help you with the planning process. Bounce ideas off of them and ask for their input or delegate some of your to-do list to someone you can count on.

TALK TO VENDORS

Start talking to vendors (florists, bakers, caterers etc.) to nail down the ones that will be able to effectively carryout your wedding day dreams. Don’t feel bad about keeping your options open until you find one that you are happy with.
