When booking vendors I cannot stress enough how important it is to hire the right people to ensure that your big day runs smoothly.  Along with hiring the right vendor, it’s important to make sure you’re a good fit with your vendors.  It is so important that all your vendors are honest, transparent, and are knowledgeable in their industry.  For example, I had a client call me about using small flowers in her drinks at the reception and what I thought about the idea.  Well, I thought it was a cool idea, however, I did give her some things to think about.  For one, flowers are mass-produced and can have many pesticides on the flowers from the farms.   I went on and told her that I wash my hands many times during the day,  before eating, and never eat at my design table.  Some florists wear gloves if they have sensitivity issues.  I told her we should move forward by using local farmers or nurseries that are totally organic and can prove it.  Another idea was finding restaurants that get eatable flowers from their food wholesalers.   By telling her my concerns she was able to move forward with this fun idea in a safer way.

Different aspects of planning a wedding can be hard for different people.  Maybe you love decor but find creating a guest list nearly impossible.  Or perhaps you love charts and numbers but find Pinterest is impossible.  But rest assured once you hire your vendors, you’ll have a team of people to assist you and you can also delegate tasks to friends and family.
