"The best advice I can offer is to research, research, research," Heather says. "I spent a lot of time reading reviews, checking wedding websites for vendor referrals, and e-mailing potential vendors before making final decisions. I truly feel that we had the most amazing vendors and I found almost all of them after doing a ridiculous amount of research before even meeting with anyone. We also DIY'd our invitations, programs, menus and placecards. It was a lot of work, but we got a lot of help from family and friends. It was amazing to see everything come together on our wedding day and feel like all of our hard work and time paid off."
