Tips on Dealing with Wedding Vendors

It is important to keep in mind that this is YOUR wedding day. Just because a photographer wants you to take pictures at a certain time or a caterer tries to tell you that you "must" serve this, remember that you are in charge. Listen to these experts, but decide for yourself.

Most photographers, for example, will work with you to take many of the key photos before the wedding, so that you don't have to miss your entire reception due to hours of picture-taking.

What you want to eat may not be the "in" thing for this month, but you know your family and friends, and you know what they will enjoy, and ENJOYMENT is the reason to eat something.

When it comes to choosing your dress, you know what you feel comfortable in. While you want to look marvelous, don't choose something that pinches your stomach or is so large that you have to have your bridesmaids carry the skirt down the aisle. You're going to be in this dress for hours. Look good, but not at the cost of feeling good.

You hire wedding planners, florists, caterers, photographers and even officiants because of their expertise, but only YOU are an expert on YOU! Remember: YOUR day, YOUR way!
