How do you ensure that the cake maker, the invitation designer/stationer, the linen provider, lighting company, floral designer, candy buffet company, and favor maker all share a common understanding of the overall design plan of your wedding? Working with a professional wedding planner is one sure way to mobilize all of these moving parts in a cohesive manner. We always suggest to our couples that they visit their local hardware store and pull complimentary paint swatches - multiples of the each of the colors that they would like to see represented in their wedding, and distribute a set of those colors to each of the parties involved with design. Likewise, you could ask the stationer for swatches of the exact cardstock to be used, or the linen rental company for fabric swatches and distribute those. Having a color reference keeps everyone on the same page. After all, in "wedding-speak," when it comes to colors, it is not just "orange," but it could be "pumpkin," "tangerine," "honeydew melon," or even "salmon," and we're not talking about food, either.
