Sure, you and your husband-to-be will have the last say in most matters but it's the budget that will dictate the set of options (high-end versus economical) available for your perusal. It may indicate the number of guests you can invite, the type of food to be served, add-ons, and it may even indicate the proper time in certain cases (there are venues which charge lower for a morning function).
Do have a wedding date ready before looking for wedding suppliers.
Wedding suppliers will not surely entertain your inquiries as much because the rates varies with the season.
Do ask past brides for their recommendations.
They may not be in the wedding industry, but they've been there and done that, and that gives them an edge! You may be surprised by the many useful tips and advice they can share with you.
Do consult each other.
You may have differences in opinion so it's good to check on your partner for the crucial details of your wedding, let this serve as your practicing ground for the future decisions you will be making together as husband and wife.
Do consider a wedding theme.
It makes choosing easier since you will be following a specific concept. It also holds together the ceremony-makes it look well-coordinated and not chaotic.
Do ask questions.
Lots of questions. And take note of the answers. Know all the details before signing any contract.
DON'T rely heavily on superstitious beliefs or fortune forecasts.
While there are superstitions that you may opt to follow, and fortune tellers who whipped up some fairytale story years ago that you would like to force into reality, this may just impede your decision making. Instead, be practical and logical in your selection.
DON'T settle with the first supplier, learn to canvass.
Just because you want to get done fast, does not mean you have to settle with the first one you asked. having options gives you the opportunity to compare which one offers the best deal in terms of quality and price tag.
DON'T cram.
Even if the big day is months away, it's never too early to start planning. This way you won't feel the need to rush or be overwhelmed with too many details all at one time.
DON'T be shy to inquire about freebies and special discounts.
Haggle. Ask about wedding packages, special offers or discounts you can avail of.
DON'T be too strict.
Sometimes the things you want are not available, and that's okay. Be flexible. It's not worth stressing about. Ask for alternatives from your wedding supplier.
