Don't Sell Yourself Short... On time!

So now you have “Surfed for Style” and it is time to start making the appointments to find the right people to help you get the vision of your day made into reality!

The next step is: Don’t Sell Yourself Short! On time that is…

It is going to take time with each appointment you make in order to have the clear communication you need to get every detail covered. If you are having a planner handle most of your arrangements for you, then most of your time will be spent communicating with them. But get ready – you still need to spend the time with them and give them the time to do the leg work you are asking to be done on your behalf.

If you are venturing out to the vendors yourself, please allow yourself time with each one. DO NOT assume that you can schedule one after the other, after the other with only a half hour in between. Details do not happen that fast.

Some examples for your consideration:


Unless you plan on spending your big day taking pictures yourself, a few things from the list that A photographer needs to know not only what kind of pictures you want taken, but where you want them taken, where do you want them taken, with what specific bridal party or family members do want pictures taken with?


Just a few things from the list that A florist needs to be able to take the time to consider the colors and flowers you are requesting, the season you are asking for them to be provided and if it will even be possible. They need time to be able to brainstorm design with you and options available to you.


As a stationer, we need time to go over with you not only your choice of invitation, but also the wording that will be perfect for your occasion and your family. The type style or font that you would like to use. We need time to discuss colors, guests lists, kids or no kids at the reception…and so much more!

So please do yourself the biggest favor possible – make the time to take the time with your wedding helpers. No matter if they are paid vendors, family or friends – unrushed, clear communication is the best ingredient to making your day smooth and flawless!
