Organising your wedding is a huge task and it can be very daunting at times. Not only do you have to find a great venue and a dress that makes you feel like a princess, you also have to find the right photographer, flowers, cake designer, music, invitations and more. But, what is the best way to go about finding all these wedding suppliers?
Here are some tips to help you get started.
(1) Create a to-do list – be organised and get yourself off to a great start by making a wedding to-do list. There are a few things that you will need to organise as soon as you can such as finding a venue, booking caterers and finding a wedding gown. Other things such as choosing your wedding rings, ordering your cake and selecting stationery can wait until a bit later. Prioritise your list and put a date beside each item to help you remember when it needs to be done by.
(2) Get Recommendations from friends and family – how do you know which suppliers are reputable and provide a high quality service? The best way to determine this is by speaking to your friends or relatives who have recently married and ask them which suppliers they chose and which ones they were pleased with. Nothing can beat a personal recommendation.
(3) Go to Wedding Fairs – wedding fayres can be lots of fun for you. You can sample a few canopies, wedding cake and perhaps a little champagne, while speaking to a lot of different suppliers in the same place. This is a great chance for you to meet potential photographers, cake designers, stationery suppliers, caterers, videographers, wedding gown designers and more, all within a couple of hours.
(4) Look in Wedding Magazines – many wedding magazines have lists of suppliers and classified adverts inside, usually on the last few pages. Many magazines also have real life stories with details and photos about recently married couples and often details on the suppliers used.
(5) Use the Internet – this may sound obvious, but it is a good idea to visit Google or Yahoo and enter the name of your city or area along with what you are looking for e.g. "wedding cakes Glasgow" or something similar. This is a great opportunity to check out the website of your potential supplier before speaking to them in person. Often this can be a huge time saver as you can immediately eliminate suppliers that are too expensive or that are not to your taste.
(6) Use the Phone – don’t be afraid to phone round a few suppliers before you make the decision to speak to them in person. Many suppliers do not have any details about prices on their website, so a quick phone call to find this out can save you a lot of time.
(7) Be Prepared – finally, make sure you are prepared! Before you visit a potential supplier think about what you want. Talk about it with your fiancé and with your parents if they are helping to pay for your wedding.
