    Hi Abigail! South Carolina will be lovely this time of year, I bet! Smiley heart And super smart to go with flowers from Whole Foods. They do a really good job and they aren't as pricey as some florists' prices.

    I love your mason jar centerpiece idea! Do you have any inspo pics of what you're thinking? & Adding greenery is a beautiful & smart idea too.

    I LOVE your wedding vision! Thank you for sharing. Smiley heart

    1) photographer
    2) officiant
    3) cake decorator
    4) make up artist
    All others are professionals/family. So their services are wedding gifts.

    I'm over!! I had 14 vendors for the actual wedding day, plus 6 "pre-wedding day" vendors (jeweler, wedding dress store, separate alterations company, bridesmaids dress store, invitations boutique, and a calligrapher).

    My mom's friends are doing the catering. Our venue already has tables an chairs so no rentals. And if I will need to get some, my church will provide. Our venue is also where we are doing both our ceremony and reception. My pastor is our officant. We are still looking for a DJ. I got my dress online, I just need to get it altered. Doing my own makeup (well my MOH is). Still looking for a hairstylist. Still looking for a Baker but I think a friend of a friend might do it. We haven't gotten the suits yet.

    Hi mmssecrets! That's great! Smiley heart It sounds like you have a great line-up and have all of the details figured out for the most part. Smiley smile

    Do you have a hairstyle in mind for your wedding day?

    And are you looking to rent or buy suits? BlackTux is a good option to rent suits from! They come in a variety of colors & styles.

    Our venue does the catering, cake, bar, and linens for us, so we don't have to hire those. Our only outside vendors are the photographer, florist, officiant, and hair/makeup. So, five.

    Under! We got a photographer, videographer, DJ, officiant, hair/makeup, and baker. We may get event rentals like a photobooth or something later on if we can fit it into our budget, but we are happy with what we have now!
