Wedding's Worth

I've seen my share of wedding days go perfectly smoothly and I've seen my share of the ones that don't.  In both cases, the experience of the bride and groom is what ultimately determines how they look back on their day.  Even the worst of days can be remembered as "perfect" when they don't impede on the couple's ability to enjoy themselves and be in the moment together.   Here are some tips that can help you out no matter what comes your way on wedding day: 1) Separate Yourself - if your wedding party is starting to get to you, take a break!  Don't let drama creep in on this day.  Having a little time to yourself can be accomplished by getting ready a little ahead of the group and then stepping out for some photos and a breather! 2) Designate a Buffer Person - a little different than a DD, this person will be the "catch all" for communications meant for you.  They will decide when and what needs to actually be told to you directly.  Make s...

This is why it's a good idea to skip the "D" word and instead ask "Do you have any promotions available?" Here are some other great tips to help you get the absolute best pricing on your wedding: 1) "We are able to spend up to..." By sharing your actual budget, a vendor is able to tell you exactly what they can or can not do in that price range.  It is not a way for them to overcharge you, but ...
