About 10 years ago finding your wedding accessories took alot of running around. Many expo's later, and piles of wedding magazines gone through you would still be at a loss on which candle to get, and the garters to choose through were either hand made or very few far and between.
Fast Forward to the present- with the age of the internet and One Stop Shopping Boutiques, things have really changed. Now, you can find everything you need with the click of the mouse. The selections are unique, fun, and price ranges vary from very expensive high quality items, to very affordable novelty items. Shopping has really come into the 21st century.
There are strip malls dedicated to wedding vendors only, and now their are special "One Stop Shopping" Boutiques where brides can go into one store and select from the preferred vendor catalogs, see the samples, and relax while they go through the different items. They are not everywhere yet but this is a new trend that will soon become very popular. The key here is to be an organized bride.
Here are a few tips and time saving ideas for you.
GETTING ORGANIZED:
First thing to buy is a
wedding organizer - though they may seem like an added expense it has an area for notes, all the things needed to do in a time table, and even customs that you may have forgotten. Some of the nice ones have pockets that you can put articles in and this can also be a great place to put quotes from vendors.
Second -
Delegate no need to be forceful about this, being a bridesmaid or groomsmen does not obligate them to being pushed around or forced into anything they are not comfortable doing but, if someone does ask, and you know they are good at helping you out definately take them up on it. Your bridal party can do the dreadful little things that take so long to get together. Such as call around for the best prices on a specific tux, or attend an expo for you and get all the information for you. Friends can be fun to have around and they are usually glad to help in any way possible just be sure to show your appreciation.
Finally- If you must go to several different stores to find what you need
map it out try to hit all the stores in a specific area in one day and plan another day for those out of the way boutiques. But, if you can avoid the stores the best way to shop is via the internet. Comparison shopping can be done with ease, and the shipping methods are quick and reliable.
