Make sure your wedding coordinator knows your vendors. If you have not hired a professional to take care of the details, make sure the contact at your wedding reception has all the information. If the coordinator has not heard of a vendor, take the time to second check this vendor. This is a one way to find out if you have made a good choice in your selection.

While you are in the middle of your wedding planning, make sure you take the time to have some fun!  The actual day will go by so quickly so make sure you enjoy yourself during the planning.  Every wedding is unique and you can get lost in trying to plan every little detail.  Take the time to relax, connect with old friends, go to a spa and pamper yourself after a long day of calling wedding vendors. 

We are now in full pre-wedding season mode. My phone is ringing and the e-mails are coming in from brides who are planning their upcoming wedding. Remember this: almost 80% of your wedding takes place in the time PRIOR to the wedding day itself! Share this planning with loved ones ( maybe an elderly aunt or grandparent) that may not be able to make the actual wedding. Keep a disposable camera in your bag so when you are out and about, you can take candid shots of all this work you are doing. These will make fabulous entries in your wedding journal or photo album!

Hello Susan,

Hello Susan!

I’ve been waiting to get the best pictures to send and can’t wait any longer to say –  “a thousand thank you’s”!!!! 

The cake and gingerbread house were phenominal!!!!!!  I can’t tell you how many accolades your works of art received.

Dave and I loved it of course.   I loved it so much that I can’t let go of the topper and am looking for ways to shellack - to keep the tree as a permanent background to the dancing couple. I still have the whole top decoration pieces.  

Really,   everyone oooohhhh and ahhhhhh’d both the cake and the gingerbread house.

I promise to send pictures as soon as I have them.    You’re great!

Thanks again,

K & D

Hi Susan-I am so sorry it has taken me so long to say THANK YOU for the WONDERFULLY beautiful gingerbread house you made for me- as well as the delicious scones (a HUGE hit here in the office) and those fabulous cookies! The house was a huge hit and my husband was just dieing to eat it- so when I finally gave him the OK I think he devoured about 3/4 of it! Thank you so much- it was just awesome!!

Susan

We wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you so much for making such a beautiful and tasty wedding cake. It was wonderful. Also the birthday cake you made for the rehearsal was a huge hit with my little cousin. Thank you so much!
