Prior to giving out any information to business for your wedding samples make sure you create a designated email address. The last thing you want is to have your primary email clogged up with a bunch of ads and solicitations. At this point in planning I am getting emails from businesses I never reached out to so do not skip this step thinking it won’t happen to you. All the companies listed below are ones that I reached out to for samples: none of them require you to pay for shipping either. There are companies that will advertise “free samples” and require you to pay to ship them so tread cautiously.

The Wedding Planning Series: Pet Peeves
Why is it so popular to get married on a green lawn in the scorching summer heat? I will never understand. While I do enjoy a nice wooded area it is astonishing to me the prices people pay to rent a yard. I’ve seen brides with grass stained and muddy dress trains which is baffling with how expensive they are. Do you envision a fully indoor wedding or an outdoor wedding? Searching for venues can be frustrating and overwhelming, so before starting your search make a list of non-negotiable items. Even if some seem like a basic request, always ask, never assume. For instance, parking may seem like a simple request but some venues will expect guests to use a parking garage several blocks away or fight for street/neighborhood parking.
