Choosing the right suppliers is one of the most important steps in wedding planning. A team of professionals aligned with your style and vision will make the big day perfect. Here is a guide to make the best decisions.
1. Define your style and priorities
Before you start looking, be clear about the wedding style you want. Classic, bohemian, modern or beach wedding? This will help you filter suppliers that fit your vision. Make a list of priorities: what is most important to you? Music, food, photography?
2. Research and ask for recommendations
Talk to friends, family and, of course, your wedding planner. Trusted recommendations are a great starting point. You can also search on social media and specialised portals. Don't just stick to the Instagram feed: ask to see complete weddings, not just the best shots.

"Don't hire under pressure or because of fashion. Take the time you need to get to know each supplier and make sure they connect with your story." — Jay Blanco Ruiz
3. Ask the right questions
Prepare a list of questions for each supplier. Some key ones are:
- Availability: Are they available on your date?
- Experience: How many weddings have they done?
- Style: Does their style fit yours?
- Budget: Do they fit your price range?
- References: Can they give you contacts of previous couples?
4. Trust your instinct
Personal connection is essential. A supplier can have an incredible portfolio, but if there is no chemistry and trust, something will be missing. Choose those who show genuine interest in your wedding and give you confidence.
5. Review the contracts carefully
Before signing, read every clause of the contract. Make sure it includes all agreed services, dates, times, payment methods and cancellation policies. Don't be afraid to ask or request modifications.
6. Build the perfect team
A good team of suppliers works in harmony. Communicate the wedding style and colours to each one, and make sure they are all aligned. Coordination between photographer, florist, decorator and catering is key for the result to be coherent and spectacular.
"The best suppliers are not the most expensive, but those who understand your story and make it shine." — Jay Blanco Ruiz
Choosing your suppliers well is investing in peace of mind and an unforgettable memory. Take the time you need, trust your intuition and surround yourself with professionals who share your enthusiasm.
