It’s Sweet Beginnings round up time again! Once you have an idea of the direction you’d like to take your wedding design, you’ll want to start assembling a team of vendors and artists to bring your story to life. Gathering a team that will work together well, understand what you need and be the best fit for you is important. There are a lot of pieces to pull together and orchestrate, which can get overwhelming sometimes.

 

When you start researching, I highly recommend that you hire a wedding planner early on, so they can help with your dream team line up. Below are a few posts about gathering your vendor team and questions to ask them.
