Do your research!!

Do your research!!

So, I'm not very far a long in my planning (RH and Florist), but I'm learning a very big lesson...Do your research!!

We ended up booking our Florist on the spot, which is something I wasn't prepared to do at the time. I was actually very nervous, because we didn't visit any other florists or get any prices. But the deal that they gave me sounded sooo good, we couldn't pass it up. (I did do my research after we signed our contract and we did end up getting a great deal).

It's funny how all of the vendors say 'is there anything I can do to make you want to sign your contract today?'. Blah, Blah, Blah....and then they keep throwing things in, etc. They don't like taking 'no', or 'We need to think about it' as an answer.

We visited one photographer that was just like this, but luckily we didn't allow ourselves to be pressured.

Well, the whole point of this rant is because I got two quotes for a cigar roller and let me tell you...One was reasonable and the other was twice as expensive as the other!

Always get more than 1 quote and do your research!

FH and I agreed during this whole process that we would always go see at least 3 of each vendor; sometimes it was more, but we saw at least 3 before we booked with someone, with the exception of limo (bc the company were going with is the only one who can give us what we want), DOC (bc Cheeky Glam is amazing and it was a surprise from FH!!!), and boudoir photos (again Blondie is amazinggg and it is a surprise gift for FH). Its definitely a good idea to see at least that many of each vendor to make sure ur getting the best deal you can.
