How to Coordinate Your Vendors

A great wedding is a group effort. You’ll be working with a venue, a caterer, a florist, an officiant, and a whole host of other wedding vendors. To ensure that everything comes together as you want it to, you’ll need to know how to coordinate your vendors.

Many vendors’ work will begin to overlap as you get into your planning. If you have decided on fresh flowers to decorate your wedding cake, for example, you’ll need to make sure your florist and caterer are communicating with each other to make this happen. Every vendor will need to be in contact with your venue, if only to find out when and where they will need to set up on the day.

Coordinating vendors can be tricky, and if you are hiring a wedding planner, they will be able to help with the coordination. If you aren’t, it can be helpful to choose vendors who have worked together in the past.

One way of doing this is to get a list of recommended vendors from your venue. Another great way of coordinating your wedding vendors to meet and book them at one of our Southern California bridal shows. You’ll get a chance to meet SoCal’s best wedding vendors all in one place, which can be a great first step towards coordinating their work.

How to Find Your Perfect Wedding Dress

Your wedding dress – it’s one of the most important parts of your wedding planning, and the one that your guests are probably most looking forward to seeing. The perfect wedding dress is something that every woman dreams of, but actually finding it can pose a challenge.

If you’re looking for your perfect wedding dress, the best place to start is by getting some inspiration. Flipping through bridal magazines can be a good start, but you often only get one angle of a gown, and can’t see how it moves.

The best way to get the full picture of how styles really look is to see a bridal fashion show. A fashion show, like the one you can see at any of our Southern California bridal shows, will let you see some of the best bridal trends in action. You’ll also get to see bridesmaids fashions and help your fiancé figure out the perfect look for him!

If you can’t wait, get to today’s Bridal Showplace show at the legendary Queen Mary in Long Beach! We also have bridal shows in Long Beach and the South Bay through the year, so check out our upcoming events!
