Be Opinionated
No matter the season, a wedding can be overwhelming to plan. Focus on what really matters to you both. Have a theme, color palette and not only photos or boards of what you like, but also of what you don’ t like.
“ I always recommend to my brides to go to Lowe’ s and grab paint sample cards of their colors. This is a great tool for showing your florist, rental company and venue your exact color palette. It truly is all in the details. They are what tie your theme and overall experience together. With all the ideas and DIY out there on Pinterest, brides can feel pressured to really customize every single item. I always recommend utilizing your event professionals,” says Mahan. A wedding planner or event designer is an amazing asset in pulling your theme together and keeping you on budget. NACE( National Association of Catering and Events) is an excellent source in finding your vendors or event professionals.

Remember this is your day, take time to really enjoy it! Cheers!
