In case you haven’t noticed yet, another new feature added to ELD is Every Last Vendor (ELV for short)! Every Last Vendor is a vendor guide that includes vendors from all over who have been *approved* by me and understand the need for a focus on details in weddings!
Vendors can be found using four different search criteria, and you can use all four or just one or two to find your perfect vendor…
1. Location: Currently you can search for vendors by state and each vendor’s listing includes the city (or cities) they service. There is even an “Internet” location available too for those vendors who can be a part of your wedding from anywhere (like Etsy shops and such)!
2. Type: Of course you can find a certain type of vendor in ELV- photographers, planners, rental companies, venues- every single possible type of wedding vendor is available!
3. Price Range: This was a big thing for me because when I was planning my own wedding and I found vendors online, I was never too sure about whether or not they would be in my price range. To tell you the truth I actually always assumed they were out of my budget, which was SO not true!
So with that said, there are 3 price ranges that you can search for vendors in: $, $$, and $$$. These ranges are based on what your TOTAL wedding budget is, since you’ll have different amounts that are spent with different types of vendors. “$” is for total budgets up to $35,000, “$$” is for total budgets from $35,000 to $70,000, and “$$$” is for total budgets from $70,000 and up. Some vendors are listed in more than 1 budget, so don’t worry if you see them twice in your search. And you don’t HAVE to stick to these areas- you can look everywhere- but don’t be upset if you fall in love with someone and they’re out of your price range. This is your warning. ;)
4. Style: Of course I’m ALL ABOUT knowing your wedding style, and the same thing goes for vendors- they have to know their style too! Classic, Eclectic, Modern, and Vintage are the four main styles that I’ve focused on with the new ELD. So if you want modern and classic, just select both styles and you’ll be guaranteed to find vendors who have a modern and classic aesthetic to their work.
And then of course once you do the search, all of the vendors in your selected categories will come up. Once you click on one of the vendors, their listing will come up- some vendors even have a photo gallery where you can see all their work!
So there you have it! The nitty gritty details of Every Last Vendor! Since it’s just launched, new vendors are joining every day- so keep checking for new additions! And brides, if you have a favorite vendor who has done an amazing job for you and that you would recommend to other brides, please tell me! Your recommendations are always the most trusted! Happy searching! :)
