TRUST In Your Vendor Relationships

I am writing this today from the salon chair while I wait for my stylist to mix the solution that will soon hide the...well you know what she is going to hide.

As she walked away I said to her "I trust you."

She knows me. My personal style. Yet when I walk out of here, it may be 6 weeks until I sit in her chair again.

It takes a lot for me to use those words. Think about it. You trust someone with your kids, your livelihood, to ensure your safety on the roads, etc AND then you get engaged....

Of course you know the person that you are marrying and trust him with your heart and future but you now have to trust complete strangers with creating a day you have been anticipating for some time.

I tell my brides all of the time that you have to be comfortable with your decisions. You want to find someone that listens to you, is available to discuss your concerns, and is confident enough to offer solutions that work specifically for you.

This is a relationship that you are building!

Your planner, stylist, photographer, florist, DJ, limo company, caterer...they are all new to you. Make certain that you read reviews, schedule face time, ask questions, and choose professionals.

Your heart led you to the one you will marry and will also lead you to the right vendors.

As for my hair today, I leave the salon with a smile on my face and extremely excited that I again made the right choice.
