Minimize multiple meetings

With a plan in place, you can (and should) eliminate back and forth with vendors says Kisha. Send ideas and photos prior to meeting with vendors. Your meeting with the florist is the perfect example. By doing the legwork ahead of time, you can walk into your first appointment seeing full samples and receive a price quote ahead of time. This cuts down on the need for scheduling, commuting and attending multiple meetings.

Avoid Pinterest

"Stay away from Pinterest and all other wedding related pics for a few days," says Kisha. All those wedding ideas can easily become overwhelming and before you know it, your wedding is no longer yours - it's a miss mosh of random ideas you love from everyone else's wedding. In order to make sure your wedding is uniquely yours, refer back to the plan you hand wrote. Find ways to bring those ideas to life. Search for specific images, rather than pulling up everything wedding related. Don't let your wedding design be decided by others (unless you've hired an event designer to come up with something based on your vision).
