Advice Week: Day two

This is SO important. Heed this warning: have a contract for everything for your wedding!!

Get everything in writing. According to Tennessee based attorney Karen Beyke advises, "Be sure your contract has a 'time is of the essence' clause, which states that a wedding provider must deliver the items or services at the proper time on the wedding day. Too many brides have complained that the flowers showed up at the church after the ceremony, or they had to wait an hour for the cake to be delivered. If you have this phrase in your contract, the vendor will know you mean business, and you'll be sure to get timely treatment. f the item is not delivered on time, then they are in breach of contract, and you don't have to pay".

Make sure that you read everything in the vendor contracts, you don't want to be hit with unexpected fees. Once you sign the dotted line, you are held by law to that contract. Even ask to take the contract home and read it, before you sign it! Everything is negotiable. If you don't like something in the contract, talk to the vendor. They want your business!
