How To Choose What Linen Provider To Use

Submitted by: Shannon Collins

As little girls we wait our whole lives for that big day our wedding day! After the excitement of the engagement we are then faced with the challenge of starting the planning process. We read through all the wedding magazines and ask our married friends for advice on where to start.

The hardest part of wedding planning is achieving your dream wedding while keeping within the budget .wouldn t it be easy if we had all the money in the world and didn t have to worry about realistic!

Before you decide on your wedding d cor you should identify the things that are most important to you regarding the d cor for the ceremony and the reception hall. Do you have a theme or color scheme you have envisioned, what does the venue include, what is your budget for d cor? You will want to take your time researching different vendors because the d cor will be the one thing that can transform any venue and will make the biggest impact on your guest s first impression.

The most important thing to remember when booking a vendor to provide your wedding d cor is to book far enough in advance. It is recommended to book your wedding decorator at least 6-10 months in advance, especially if you are planning on getting married during the summer which is the prime wedding season. Some people will leave the wedding d cor until then end, which is risky when you have hundreds of other brides getting married on the exact same day. Be sure to research different vendors, what they offer, what their pricing is and what makes them different then everyone else offering the same thing?

Chair Covers, Sashes and Table Overlays are simple ways of transforming a venue and are an easy way of incorporating your theme and color scheme into the venue decor. Every venue will have different chairs that they use, some will be old, some will be new but most of the time they won t coordinate with the overall elegance you envisioned for your wedding.

Once you have found a wedding decorator you feel comfortable with be sure to meet with them in person to see the linen to ensure their colors match the theme you are thinking of. You would be surprised how many different shades of green there are that people call Sage! Ask if their linen is professionally dry cleaned and hand pressed, what is the quality you can expect on your wedding day?

Another key thing to remember is to ask if they include set up and take down in their prices. Most vendors wont include the actual set up in rental prices and this is a cost you want to factor into your budget at the start instead of being surprised with it a week before the big day.

Be sure to contact the venue to see when your decorator will have access to the venue. It could be a few hours before the wedding or as much as a few days in advance. Either way you and your decorator will have to discuss what needs to be done and how long they have to get everything done.

Remember that this is your wedding day; you want to be able to enjoy it and not have to worry about any of the details. Choose your wedding d cor carefully and be sure you trust the person you have chosen so you know that things will be done they way you want them done.
