Wedding Vendor + Product Scoop: Who I Booked and What I Used

Planning our wedding was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Almost everything was difficult to figure out because it all required a ton of research ( and a ton of time ), and I had basically zero event planning experience going into it. I heavily sympathize with anyone out there planning their own wedding with minimal help, so I'm sharing my complete list of literally everything I spent money on/used for our wedding. I hope you find it helpful, are able to draw inspiration from it, and ultimately feel more calm after reading through it. Now get out there and emulate your inner J. Lo in The Wedding Planner.
