Take your wedding planning service with you when you visit with your florist. The wedding planner can work hand in hand with the florist to be sure that your ideas and tastes come through well. They can help you to secure the type of look that you are after and take care of the contract, too.
Your wedding planning service should definitely go with you when you are buying your wedding dress. They will give you tips and advice about the look, and how you will manage the dress from day one. But, they are great at making sure that alterations are kept on track too.
