The best-laid plans of mice and men (and brides) often go awry, but that’s no reason to throw planning out the window. If you spend the time early on to lay out details and set up backup plans, when setbacks do occur, you’ll be able to take it in stride.

In this section you’ll find checklists, a budget worksheet and suggested questions to ask prospective wedding vendors. This is your copy of Pacific Coast Weddings, so mark it up, take notes and scribble ideas in the margins. And remember that all of these worksheets are available at PacificCoastWeddings.info!
