Let's find your wedding team
Planning your wedding is a major life event, one that will involve your beloved family and friends. However, wedding planning can be very challenging because of the various details to keep track of and check off your list. Our wedding and vendor directory focuses on helping you manage each phase of your wedding planning process successfully. Plus, our directory showcases many vendors, allowing you to find someone in your area.
One of the essential items that need to be addressed right away is finding a venue for your wedding. Some wedding venues can offer you a place to have the ceremony and host the wedding reception. Chapels may be the perfect location for your ceremony but require you to find a reception venue. The practical aspects of planning your wedding include accommodations for your guests, such as a local bed and breakfast, hotel, or even cabins and cottages. Turn your wedding into a weekend event, planning special events leading up to the ceremony for your wedding party and guests. That could even include adventures and outdoor recreation.
Creating a wedding theme can help you determine your wedding venue, accommodations and even help you decide on the type of catering or beverage services you need. If you are struggling to find a suitable wedding theme to fit you both as an engaged couple, consider checking out our list of bridal magazines and planning guides. They can give you a host of ideas. Another option is to head to a local bridal show. There you can meet with various vendors, from photographers to musicians and other entertainment options, along with rental vendors who provide decorations, favors, candles, cakes, cake toppers, candy, and more.
Of course, no one can show up without their wedding attire, so we showcase bridal shops, tuxedo shops, and other attire services, including alterations, cleaning, and wedding gown preservation. Plus, you want to find a jeweler who has a wide selection of wedding rings to choose from before your big day and clean them as well.
Flowers are also a big part of your wedding, giving color and beauty to the reception, wedding rehearsal, and even the bridal shower. Check out our directory to find local florists in your area who can work with you to provide the bouquets that fit your theme. Don’t forget to create a gift registry for your guests.
There are various practical aspects, from decorative ice sculptures to wedding invitations and photography, but you also need to consider what happens after the wedding, including planning your honeymoon. Destination weddings and honeymoons can be a great way to combine a lovely destination and travel with your special day. Cruises have also become a popular way to enjoy a trip with loved ones and make memories as you embrace your new life of wedded bliss. Our directory provides a list of travel services and agencies that can help you coordinate your group’s travel plans, regardless of the destination.
Transportation may also be required from where everyone is staying to the big event, especially for a destination wedding.
If all this sounds like more work than you want to take on, consider finding a wedding planner or organizer. Wedding coordinators and bridal consultants can also help keep you organized as you prepare for your big day, including helping your maid or matron of honor plan the bridal shower. Don’t forget to have fun shopping the lingerie for your first night as a married couple. Looking past your wedding and honeymoon, there is the step of finding a home for you to start your married life. If you need to combine homes, our real estate category can be a great way to find a real estate professional and locate your new home. You can also find marriage license counseling to help you start your marriage on the right foot.
There are many aspects to planning your wedding, and our directory is here to help you do just that!
