Your wedding is a very important day, but it is just that: one day.

This episode focuses on the importance of reviewing contracts carefully before signing them. While it may be tempting to just scroll down and sign, it is important to take the time to read and understand the terms of the contract. Michael Gaddie, Sharon Rumsey and Kristina Stubblefield noted that vendors often have things included and not included in their contracts. They discussed that importance of asking questions about anything that is unclear. Michael shared that he goes through his entire contract with potential clients at the consultation, which Sharon mentioned she loves. Michael mentioned specific details of his contracts, such as not sending pictures of flowers. Ultimately, it is in the best interest of the couple to take the time to read and review the contract. They encouraged couples to look for details such as what is supplied, what is not supplied, and potential due dates. They agreed that it is important to read contracts carefully to avoid potential issues on the wedding day.Timestamps: 00:03:00 Reviewing Vendor Contracts and Asking Questions 00:05:00 The Importance of Reading Contracts Carefully Before Signing 00:07:00 Understanding Venue Policies and Cancellation Policies 00:14:00 Discussion on Vendor Requirements for Weddings 00:18:00 Discussion on Wedding Planning Logistics and Contract Considerations 00:20:00 Discussion on Contract Amendments and Date Changes For more information on The Ring The Bling And All The Things Podcast, visit: https://www.ringblingallthethingspodcast.com/ Connect with us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVEfTglDwhfMsdRFL_nFIzw Instagram: https://instagram.com/theringtheblingandallthethings TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ringblingallthethings Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/theringtheblingandallthethings Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theringtheblingandallthethings The Ring The Bling And All The Things Resource Platform: https://www.ringblingallthethings.com/ Kristina Stubblefield Website: https://kristinastubblefield.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinastubblefield_ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kristinastubblefield Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristinastubblefieldpage Michael Gaddie, Lloyd's Florist Website: https://www.lloydsflorist.net Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lloydsflorist/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lloydsflorist/ Sharon Rumsey, A Perfect Plan Events Website: https://aperfectplanevents.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/APerfectPlanKentuckiana/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aperfectplaneventskentuckiana/  Love this episode?

Kristina Stubblefield, Michael Gaddie, and Sharon Rumsey discussed the importance of not sharing all of one's wedding planning immediately after getting engaged. Sharon explained that while it's great to share the news with family and close friends, it is better to not make a big announcement in places such as work. This is because until wedding planning begins, the guest list is uncertain, and people may think they are invited when they may not be. Furthermore, everyone will have an opinion and this can add to the stress and overwhelm that comes with planning a wedding. The trio advised that wedding planning should be fun, rather than a source of anxiety.   The trio discussed how to enjoy the process of wedding planning and not let it become overwhelming. They suggested that when people ask about the details of the wedding, couples should smile a lot and talk less, saying that they're still working on the details and figuring things out.   Sharon Rumsey and Michael Gaddie discussed the importance of tempering out details when planning a wedding. They advised that it is important to limit the number of people who accompany the couple to try on wedding attire and make other wedding decisions. Sharon noted that it can be helpful to bring a friend or family member for support, but it is important to remember that the wedding should be about the couple's vision and not about what other people may want.  For more information on The Ring The Bling And All The Things Podcast, visit:https://www.ringblingallthethingspodcast.com/Connect with us:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVEfTglDwhfMsdRFL_nFIzwInstagram: https://instagram.com/theringtheblingandallthethingsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ringblingallthethingsPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/theringtheblingandallthethingsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theringtheblingandallthethingsThe Ring The Bling And All The Things Resource Platform: https://www.ringblingallthethings.com/Kristina StubblefieldWebsite: https://kristinastubblefield.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinastubblefield_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kristinastubblefieldYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCODw_E9Qq-7f7F9tMZGWWYg/videosFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristinastubblefieldpage Michael GaddieWebsite: https://www.lloydsflorist.netFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lloydsflorist/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lloydsflorist/ Sharon RumseyWebsite: https://aperfectplanevents.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/APerfectPlanKentuckiana/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aperfectplaneventskentuckiana/Love this episode?
