There's no way around it, weddings are fun, but planning them can be terrifying for those who haven't had any experience. And even though we always recommend that our couples hire an experienced wedding planner, their main job is coordination of the vendors you choose, so naturally, you'll have to make sure you choose them first! That's why it's important to know what should be happening, and when, so you don't find yourself trying to hire a makeup artist (or wedding photographer!!) last minute just to find that your date has been booked for a year.
