Activity for Felicity

I have a quick question. Do you normally meet in person with a photographer that you are potentially interested in for the wedding? I'm not sure of the protocol. Thanks!

How soon did you all book your photographer for your wedding? What types of questions did you ask them? Any advice would be appreciated!

How long after your engagement did you get your engagement photos taken?

We are planning on doing our engagement photos in a couple of weeks. I'm having trouble finding an outfit that works for an outdoor/park setting. Do you guys have any ideas or pictures of what you did for your photos if you did them in the spring?...

So I'm planning on getting my wedding catered by a restaraunt since my venue does not provide catering (barn venue). Does anyone know if caterers charge a fee for just having a cash bar at the reception?

Does anyone have any particular websites that they know of that have reasonably priced wedding supplies such as table linens, plastic ware, table runners, etc?

I am planning a barn wedding in the fall but I'm having trouble choosing colors for it. Anyone have any color palette ideas for a wedding like this?

Does anyone know if most venues charge separately for the rental of the actual venue or is it included in the plates per guest price? The venue information usually only gives the price per plate and not the price for just renting the venue.
