If you're newly engaged, congrats! Luckily for you, this is 2010 and there are tons of great wedding blogs full of inspirational photos and ideas to make your wedding completely unique and reflective of you and your fiance (you can check out some of our favorite wedding blogs listed on the right hand side of this site or check out
The B-List for a more comprehensive list of the best bridal blogs). The wedding industry is also full of super talented wedding professionals who can take your ideas and bring them to life and choosing those vendors is one of the more important tasks you'll cross off on your to-do list.
In your search for the best wedding vendors, I recommend reading through our
Wedding Vendor Hiring Guide. Okay, I admit I am completely biased here because I wrote it, however it is chock-full of questions to ask and things to keep in mind as you hire the wedding vendors you'll be working closely with over the course of your engagement. The guide is free and
downloadable as a PDF so that you can print it out and stick it in your wedding planning notebook to take with you to appointments.
Happy planning!
