Step 4: Finding the Right Wedding Vendors Starts with One Thing: Your Wedding Planner

Choosing the best vendors for your wedding day isn’t just about scrolling on Instagram—it’s about working with professionals who understand your vision and can bring it to life seamlessly.

💡 Here’s how a wedding planner helps you find the best wedding vendors for your day:

🔎 We’ve done the homework
Experienced planners have a vetted network of trusted, reliable, and talented vendors we’ve worked with—no guessing, no stress.

🤝 We match vendors to your vibe
From photographers who specialize in editorial romance to DJs who keep the dance floor packed—we pair you with vendors that fit your style, budget, and priorities.

💬 We ask the right questions
Not sure what to ask a florist or caterer? We know the red flags, hidden fees, and contract details to watch for.

🗓 We keep everyone on track
Hiring great vendors is just the start. We manage communication, timelines, and logistics so everything runs smoothly.

✨When you hire Elana Events, you’re not just hiring a planner—you’re gaining access to an elite team of wedding pros who will help you plan with clarity and confidence.

The altar is more than a backdrop. It is the heart of your wedding ceremony and the space where your forever begins. LEet our team design a setting that feels as meaningful as your vows. The altar is not just where you say I do it’s where your journey truly begins.

5 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING YOUR BACKDROP

1. Height of the Bride and Groom

Your altar should be proportionate to you as a couple. If you’re tall, a low or minimal altar design can feel underwhelming. If you’re petite, an overly grand structure might overpower you in photos. The goal is to frame you beautifully, not overshadow or shrink you visually.



2. Ceremony Backdrop and Venue Setting

Is your ceremony indoors or outdoors? Are there natural elements or architectural features behind you? Your altar should complement the environment. For example, a beach wedding might call for an open, breezy structure, while a ballroom might inspire a more floral or dramatic design.



3. Cultural or Religious Significance

If you’re incorporating cultural or religious traditions, your altar should reflect those values. This might include symbolic decor, meaningful items like a chuppah or mandap, or colors that honor your heritage.



4. Season and Weather

Outdoor ceremonies require altars that can withstand wind, heat, or humidity. Florals should be selected based on seasonal availability and durability. For summer weddings, lighter fabrics and floral choices work well; for fall or winter, consider richer textures and tones.



5. Guest View and Photographer Angle

Think about visibility. Ensure your altar is designed so that guests can clearly see you exchange vows. Also, consult your photographer about angles. An altar that’s too cluttered or tall can block key moments in photos.
