provide your wedding coordinator, cake designer, floral designer, and any other vendor related to the design of your wedding with a copy of your invitation. It serves as a useful design reference and hints at the style of your wedding.
Tip from Mona Hirata
Mona says...
When hiring live
musicians,
singers, or a DJ,
it is not necessary to devise an entire play list for your wedding.
Instead, a little direction, such as identifying preferred genres of music or favorite artists, along with a few key song requests, will provide your hired professionals with the necessary information to ensure an entertaining event.

Mona says...
If you're planning to save the top tier of your cake for your one year anniversary, choose a flavor that holds up well in the freezer, such as chocolate or vanilla, and avoid anything with fresh fruit.
Tip by Mona Hirata
ask the bridal salon to hold onto your gown as long as possible, preferably until the day prior to your wedding. This will help to keep your gown in mint condition, free of wrinkles, and out of view of others.
