Wedding vendor search methods?
923804
The web is definitely a great place to start your search but one thing to bear in mind about wedding vendor sites is that most will list any vendor for a fee without checking company history, customer satisfaction, etc. Their business is advertising and their interest is first and foremost to secure advertising dollars and/or referral fees. So remember the old adage "Caveat Emptor" (Latin for “Buyer Beware”)\n\nI suggest you either find a vendor website that has a community and discussion forum or do a category search in Verizon Yellowpages or Zipingo. Yes, these are advertising businesses like the others, but they also provide an area for customers to leave feedback... both positive and negative (see link examples below)

I would suggest asking people you know if they can recommend a wedding coordinator.  If all else fails, you can do an internet search or look in the phone book.\n\nCongrats and good luck!

LISA, you can search every wedding invite in the free world or you can go to a printing company and have them custom made.  That way they are your very own, and no one could possibly have any like yours.  Another thing you could do id try to remember the book you found them in, and go to that site.  Perhaps they have a "contact us" section and tell them what you are looking for.  That is what the Bridal Mags are there for ... TO HELP YOU!!!  GOOD LUCK!!!!

I suggest a more romantic web address to start with. You can network at the many billions of bridal fairs that go on around the country, and advertise in the local Bride Magazine. (If you live in or near a metro area, there is probably a magazine just for local brides ~ Columbus Brides, NYC Weddings, SoCal Brides, etc)\n\nP.S. I don't think you want potential brides, you want potential customers who are already brides. If you want potential brides, log on to yahoo! personals.

Take a look at this website because they list vendors in the Seattle area, this is the page specifically for bridal boutiques... http://www.junebugweddings.com/plan/dresses.aspx\n\nThey are also members of the ABC (association of bridal consultants) so I would definitely trust what they have to say.
