Now that you have booked all of your vendors, what advice would you give to fellow brides?
My advice to future brides is definitely research and do your homework. Ask people for advice and join forums like LIW. There is a wealth of information out there. Also, shop around and learn how to negotiate. I learned this first hand when it came to looking for a florist.

One would be definitely read reviews...like you said, there is a wealth of information out there...and two would be get as much booked and done as early as you can!

Shop around, do your homework and use Etsy!! I have been quoted crazy prices for things throughout this process and have found everything literally 1/2 the price on Etsy.

Do a lot of research, meet with them and then make your own decisions. DO not go based off of what others say. Just bc someone may have had a great/terrible experience doesn't mean you will have the same. Also, give yourself enough time to shop around so you are not so rushed and forced to make a impulse decision you may end up regretting.

I actually would advise against doing a ton of research. It could drive you nuts because there are so many options! I say pick a few with good reps to meet with, then go with your gut after meeting them. I am planning my wedding in less than 10 months and this method has worked brilliantly for me!

Take your time planning and make your wedding your own. It's about the people getting married and what they want, not your family or friends.

Take your time and make sure you do what you and FH want!! So many times we felt like friends and family were pushing us to go with people we really didn't like.
