With Hosaki and her team from Elements, we know that planning a wedding at Haiku Mill will be seamless; however, the wedding planning process in and of itself can still seem daunting for many of us. With that in mind, we asked Hosaki for some tried and true words of advice to keep us organized (and sane!) throughout the wedding planning process. Here are a few of her favorite wedding planning tips: 1. Don't Let Others Take the Reins This may sound funny at first, as those closest to us play such integral roles in our lives, but Hosaki reminds us not to lose ourselves in other people's suggestions: "Remember what was most important to the two of you when you first started planning and then decide if you should entertain suggestions." 2. Information, Information, Information! (Request and Provide) When sending out RSVP cards, be specific. Ask guests for information such as what they want to eat, where they will be staying and what email address they are most likely to check. Finding out this information in advance prevents you from using precious planning time to track it down later. Additionally, provide your guests with information. Send out a detailed booklet or a website where they can find important details about the wedding, and enlist a professional concierge service to aid guests in their travel arrangements. 3. Schedule Couple Meetings In the hustle and bustle of wedding planning, it can be easy to lose track of one another as a couple. Aim to schedule meetings twice a month at which you and your fiancé sit down to discuss the wedding. This way, you can ensure that the two of you stay on the same page and carve out time to work on your planning. 201-674-0098 64 East Madison Avenue, Dumont, NJ 07628 larkspurbotanicals.com • design@larkspurbotanicals.com @larkspurbotanicals
