    I do believe we will come in under. Even if you count the vendors who work with our venue for cake and flowers we should be between 8-10 vendors.

    Hi Erin! That's great that your venue includes a coordinator already and some of your other vendors double up too, like your DJ & Photo Booth, dress shop services, as well as Hair & Makeup stylists! Makes things simpler that way. Smiley smile

    31 days until you say "I do!" We are so excited for you! What kind of florals will you your family friend be arranging into your bouquet for your big day? Smiley heart

    It definitely makes things easier and is saving us money! We're using silk flowers so everything is done! These are some of them.

    Thank you! They definitely did. We picked out all of the flowers in February with my mom and her daughter. She and my mom have been friends over 39 years and she's known me my entire life so I trusted her and her work. I just went down to her house this past weekend to pick them all up.
