Bridal 101
When planning your wedding, there are some important things a bride should know! Before meeting with your event coordinator, you need to know certain things. Know how many people will be attending the event. This is important when it comes to deciding what room you will be in. Also, know your colors. Your planning will go a lot easier once you have a basic idea of what you want your reception to look like. Know your vendors. Have a DJ, photographer and florist? Provide your coordinator with their numbers. This is important when it comes to the day of the event. You don’t want your DJ not showing up! Leave that up to the coordinator to make sure everyone is there and things are running smoothly. Another important thing is to make sure you have a picture of your cake or centerpieces. If you want something a certain way, you need to communicate that with the coordinator along with pictures to ensure you get the most out of your big day! Also, label your boxes. When you bring in your candles, cake cutter, centerpieces, and party favors, make sure you label your bags and boxes. That way, when you come to pick things up the next day, everything will be placed where they came from. They will be easier to track and it will be easier on the coordinator. Eliminating stress in these areas is important in the long run!
Little Ways to Save Money
When going to a venue to decide where your wedding or special event should be hosted, consider what your package includes. Before putting down your payments, consider the following questions: Are you already paying for linens? Do you like the cake? Are you finding yourself looking at outside resources for things you want to change about the venue you are about to use? A helpful hint is to use all of the things they provide that you’re already paying for, then add your accented touches to your event for a cheap price.
An example of saving money on things you don’t like that the venue provides in packages, is bringing in simple things of your own.

Here is an example of personalizing your wedding cake. Here at Bobak’s Signature Events, we provide a pastry chef to design your wedding cake. This bride brought in fabric of her own to add to the cake. This way, the cake matched the theme with items that the chef does not provide. Instead of going to a different pastry chef outside of the venue, you can save money by bringing in your own touches.
Another thing to remember: Making your cake too fancy will eventually result in you not eating it at all. Too much drapery or fondant will make the cake inedible. Keep your cake simple and classy.
