Stop Looking, Get Booking

Hello Lovelies,

Last week I promised alternatives to booking vendors by attending bridal shows. Undoubtedly, bridal shows are one of the most popular ways. But, it’s easy to see how bridal shows may not be for everyone, considering all the work involved.

​Sure it seems simple enough, all you will have to do is:

---

Find a bridal show, find a bridal show that fits your schedule, rope a fiance into attending with you, coerce a friend into attending when said fiance bails, buy a ticket, venture out of the house on a weekend-in the winter, interact with strangers, develop a game plan should you run into your nemesis, attend bridal show, navigate the crowds, find your “perfect” vendors booth, deploy game plan because the nemesis has been spotted, sit through a fashion show, smile at more strangers, and not feel defeated when you leave sans booked vendor.

So what are alternatives to attending a bridal show? Well, let’s see there’s…

• Knowing Someone- Rely on vendors working past weddings you attended or hoping your friends and family “know someone”.
• The Wild World Web of Weddings- The tried and true internet. Baseline searching involves Google, Facebook, Instagram, The Knot, Wedding Wire, Wedding, and Martha Stewart.
• Serendipity- A vendor falling in your lap after a series of trials and tribulations that will undoubtedly make for a great horror story to tell when in five years when you meet a newly engaged couple.

​
If you’re reading this and wondering “there’s gotta be another way”, we agree and we found it. 
Imagine answering a few questions from the comfort of your home (or over a cup of coffee) about the three vendor types you want to book. Pay a flat fee, send your answers to Assorted Artistries and within 2 weeks you will have not one, but three vendors who will be:

• Available for your wedding
• Within your budget
• Waiting for your call!

Can it really be that simple? Yes! Assorted Artistries Vendor Referral Program really is that easy! We do the research of prospective vendors, ask all your questions, and even follow up with the vendors you did (and did not) select. Our program also includes an initial and final consultation to discuss all the details if you wish. So skip the crowds, get your vendors booked and leave the stress to us! 

Keep Celebrating,
Anika
