1. Double check each of your vendor contracts in detail.
Do you have everything agreed upon listed in your contract? Here are some reminders:

Minimizing disappointment is the job of a great wedding coordinator. A bride must know her non negotiables for each aspect of her wedding day and photos are no exception. What is taken behind the camera on the wedding day are the memories that express the beginning a lifetime of love built together.
Meet with your photographer before your wedding day to review a detailed photo list for your wedding day. Be specific and include names of family, friends, and couples that are essential.
Search Pinterest to collect some ideas and create a board of your favorites! You do not want to look back with regrets.

4. Hire an event planner!
You need to focus on you! Let your coordinator plan the details so that you can enjoy your day! Create memories of your wedding day (and the planning process) with celebrations of joy!
