The entire wedding industry is surrounded by myths, half-truths, and misconceptions. While planning a wedding you have a ton of important decisions to make and plenty of people offering unsolicited advice. We’re going to debunk ten common misconceptions about wedding planning everyone thinks are true.

With restrictions easing and wedding season on the horizon, email volume is increasing significantly for all wedding vendors, (CUE that flooded inbox)! One of the (many) advantages of a wedding planner is their ability to coordinate all vendor communications on behalf of a client and build a detailed itinerary based on all prior correspondence. If I am not emailing a vendor directly, I always ask my clients to cc me on messages to ensure I am looped into the latest updates.

If you are taking on most of the vendor communications on your own, I’ve assembled a list of recommendations as you detail your wedding day plans this season.
