Kevin and Elizabeth’s love story began in high school in the library when Elizabeth gave Kevin a piece of chocolate. We, at Dee Lee Designs, made sure that Kevin and Elizabeth’s love story rang as sweet as the day they met. During the wedding planning process it is important to take into consideration our couple’s love story. What does their story entail and then carefully curate vendors that will ultimately bring their wedding vision to fruition. It is important to think about the professionals that are best for their budget, style, and personality. 1. Style Is the Vendor’s work style in line with the wedding theme? For example, when hiring a photographer it is important to take note of the style of photos they curate. Some photographers are a light and airy, dark and moody, fine art photographer, while others are lifestyle or photojournalistic. Knowing the style of photography that fits your wedding day design is everything. Make sure to check the photographer’s portfolio to see if their aesthetic matches your vision. 2. Chemistry/ personality It is important to pick a vendor that in sync with the bridge and groom. At the end of the day, we want our clients to feel comfortable and taken cared of. It is not always about pricing when it comes to great service but rather compatibility. Find a vendor that is on your wave length and understands your vision. 3. Budget This is everything! Ask yourself what is your financial comfort zone. How much are willing to spend and is this reflective of actual pricing or feasible for you wedding day? Balance and knowing where to prioritize your spending is everything. Our rule of thumb is to consider 3 vendors from every category, so you can get an average feel of pricing. - Venue: @sheratonsangabriel Photography/ videography: @888prod Florals: @lvfloralevents Beauty: @beautyinmotionstudio Cake: Cathy Baker DJ: @thegreyorange.creative Emcee: @kateleungevents Photo Booth: @lxpixphotobooth Rentals: @tmmprorental - #deeleedesigns #luxuryweddingplanner #weddingplanning #highschoolsweethearts #weddingtips
