Your Vendors as Artists

Their Unique Craft

Your vendors are very special people. You’ve chosen them because they’ve mastered their craft. The create dazzling confections out of fondant. They shape wildflowers into romantic bouquets. They can make ice and shrimp into a work of art. Illicit their very best by treating them like the artists they are.

When you interview them, ask what kind of work they like to do.You’ll get a quick handle on whether there’s a match between the kind of wedding that excites them and the kind of wedding you’re creating. Also, share your vision with them, and ask for their feedback. You’d be surprised at how they can take your idea and make it even better.

And don’t forget that they are your commissioned artists once you’ve hired them. If you treat them like hired help, you won’t get their A+ work. But if you’re patient, grateful and easy to work with, you’ll be amazed by what they can do.
