First and foremost…congratulations! Wedding planning can truly be one of the most magical times in your lives. I know, I may be partial to that, but in all seriousness, it’s so exciting!

I could start by rattling off everything you need to do, but let’s be honest…it can be overwhelming and intimidating! It’s best to start by taking it all in and celebrating this milestone.

BUT SOON…

It will be time to start planning!

So what’s our advice on one of the best ways you can plan and make it truly memorable at the same time? By attending the Winter Park Wedding Stroll, of course!  Whether you are interested in a traditional wedding, a cultural-focused wedding, an LGBT wedding, or even a destination wedding, Orlando’s wedding professionals and venues are here to help!

Why should you register for the Winter Park Wedding Stroll? Let us explain…

As fun as wedding planning can be, it can also be stressful. So many decisions to make, budgets to be mindful of, and dreams that want to become reality with many opinions taking note. But attending the right bridal event can help alleviate the stressors that may make you feel frustrated and alone.

At the Winter Park Wedding Stroll, couples are encouraged to engage with some of Orlando’s top wedding vendors. Asking your questions, getting to know who can help you, and talking with a variety of vendors in different budget categories can open your eyes to realistic possibilities.

Not sure how to get your Pinterest board to come to life? Need to please your future in-laws with just the right caterer? Or worried your significant other needs some ideas and serious help planning the honeymoon? Ease your worries, talk to professionals, and learn how it all can come together perfectly at the Winter Park Wedding Stroll.

While some of us may have a secret wedding planning book we’ve been hiding for years, some of us have no idea what we want our weddings to look like. That’s okay! And, that’s exactly what the Winter Park Wedding Stroll is for.

As you mingle around a variety of locations, take note of room set-ups, chair options, table linens, place settings and floral creations. If you notice set-ups that catch your attention, make sure to take pictures and notes on what specifically you like. And remember…do the same for things you do not like. You don’t want to realize on your wedding day that a white table cloth is a hot button of what you don’t like.

In addition to what you see visually, begin to find inspiration with wedding professionals as well. You may find that someone with an outgoing personality is exactly what you are looking for in taking over your floral and decor planning but a laid back and gentle photographer makes you feel more comfortable taking pictures.

Oh, and if you are the one with the secret wedding planning book, you never know what new and trendy ideas you’ll pick up that freshens up that book of yours!

Tips, tricks, and exclusive offers. Take advantage of these during the Stroll!

Wedding professionals and venues gather on Sunday, February 18 to help provide you the best advice, insights, and savings tools for you to make the best decisions for your wedding day. Don’t miss out on the Stroll for this reason alone.

If you’ve always wanted a tent but think it will be out of your budget, now’s your time to ask a wedding planner or design company how to go about it in a budget-friendly way. If you want an open bar but your parents are against it, go ahead and ask the venues and caterers their opinions on pros and cons. Or if you love photography but are afraid you can’t afford what you really want, come see if any of the Stroll’s wedding professionals can help you make your decision easier.

Take time to get to know each vendor and ask them about their work. Also, don’t be afraid to ask if they are providing any exclusive offers for couples that attend the show and if so, how long the special offer is good for.

Think about what you could truly use help with, what questions you would love to ask a professional before making a decision, and what budget you’d like to stay within. These simple questions alone can help you navigate your way through the wonderland of the Stroll!
