Local Counts for Wedding Planning!

You may fall in love with a band from elsewhere or a fabulous dress from Toronto or Michigan, but your best bet for price and reliability is to go with vendors in your local area. Most times, local vendors can order in special requests with assurances of getting them on time, in perfect condition, and at a price that your wedding budget can tolerate. It’s much easier to run over to a local boutique to check a colour fabric in person than taking a trip to another city to ensure everything coordinates well with your wedding theme.

If you are going to use special orders with your wedding goods and services, make certain you leave enough time for shipping problems; that avoids any last minute stress waiting for their arrival.

Remember it’s not just a big party… it’s the most important day of your life. From ” I will to ” I do”,  perfect wedding planning removes any anxiety and allows the bride to fully enjoy the many decisions leading up to the big day.

We are big believers in shopping local, working with the people that live and work in your community is a big plus for everyone involved. Remember your attendants and  the time and love they have for you by honouring you by being in your wedding party.  Make it easy for them to procure the dresses they will wear so it is convenient and cost-effective. And, try to also keep it simple for everyone involved.

We are all living busy lives and local just makes good sense. The area professionals are many and the choices you have with them are current, stylish and easy to access for all.

With a little thought, you can mitigate any anxious moments (and there will be some) by staying close to home and supporting the people in your community.

Even if you may have the best-made plans, nothing is a given until you have it in writing. It’s important when organizing the events and vendors for your wedding to check and double check when it comes to facts and figures. Always get written proposals, whether they arrive by e-mail.  fax, or regular mal. Verify the dates, times and costs before signing any contract.

When you are coordinating with friends, family and members of your wedding party, be clear about what is expected of them and when you need them, or certain events and appointments. Use written correspondence whenever you can to make sure to reach everyone with important information, or you have made changes to already existing plans. Not only will your clear communications with everyone help them get it right, it will also give you peace of mind that you have covered all the planning details.
