NOTE —

If your blog post's featured images are fairly low resolution, you may want to delete the top image canvas. Your blog will still look gorgeous, but the top banner section looks best when you upload an image that's 2500px on the long side. You can also use our fave TinyJpeg to make them small so your blog posts still load quickly!

DAY 3: RESEARCH VENDORS

Start your Research! You may already have your dream planner in mind (me) LOL or your favorite photographer, now it’s time to start reaching out and get their actual pricing. Start reading their reviews, if you have a friend who used them ask what their experience was.  If you have no clue who to book, start your research online. Start with your favorite wedding blogs like Carats & Cake and see if they have a recommended list. Another good way to research is to see if someone you have been looking at is aligned with the vibe of the wedding you want.

From this research create your dream list! This step might seem like it’s getting ahead of the game, but knowing the pricing from vendors that work at venues you are looking at, or work you like, will allow you to create a realistic budget for your wedding day!

3 Steps to Researching Vendors: 

  1. Follow Vendors you like on Instagram. It sounds funny but I will stalk vendors that I like and see if I like their personalities.  You can tell a lot from instagram stories.  
  2. Start to find Wedding blogs that you like and see who they are featuring.  Most Wedding Vendors will submit their work to blogs they feel most represent them.
  3. Ask your friends who they recommend if you had fun at a particular wedding! Lot’s of my clients come from past Weddings, they experined my work had a great time and want that same vibe for their wedding.

BEHIND THE Wedding

MEET Victoria


Growing up, my mother had a dinner party for just about everything. She would make name cards, put out her best china, let me help her pick flowers, and always cook something spectacular. She taught me, “Presentation is everything.” Long-story-short, the attention to detail, organization and joy that give me my knack for event-planning are in my blood (because truly, I got it from my Mama). My whole life I’ve had a passion for all the elements that make events experiences. Beyond that, I’ve always been told that I throw a really effing fun party, so I decided to leave my career in hospitality and pursue event-planning for real. 

What I’m told draws many of my clients to me is my eye for the details, understanding of who they are, and calm attitude even when things get crazy. What keeps me so fulfilled is my relationships with my clients themselves. Nothing makes me happier than working with a couple to make a vision come to life and genuinely having fun all along the way. 

Thanks for learning a little bit about me; I look forward to learning a little bit about you!
