    I'm so lucky that my venue allows us to choose our catering, and that our catering encourages us to supplement our menu with our own food. Our Russian guests will all be bringing bread, appetizers, or desserts, so that saves us A LOT of money.
    I just signed my catering contract! And my dress arrived at the store, I get to pick it up later this week 🥰 The only vendor we have left is flowers. Only 11 more months 😂😅

    I’m so fortunate that our venue has the best wedding coordinator included in the price. She’s amazing, friendly, so knowledgeable and always happy to answer my questions. We also have a “planning meeting” 4 months before the wedding to go through every single details. Definitely a lot of trust, and therefore less stress 😅

    Read your contracts - YESSSS 🙌🏼 you don’t want to be hit w/a room flip fee that you didn’t know about b/c you were too excited to sign. Ask ALL the questions, but please be kind. Confirm, confirm, confirm. Also, yep, pick your helpers. I got hit by a bunch of texts right as my MUA was doing my lashes 😆 thankfully my now SIL & husband navigated the vendors and early bird arrivals. You’re the BEST Jamie!! Love from Houston 🥰
