Hi Everyone, I am just familiarizing myself with this board and realize the more information we can share the better. I was at the bridal show a couple of weekends ago and know someone who works at I Cakes. He told me to book my vendors in Nov/Dec as they're not as busy (I'm getting married next Sept but want to start booking things soon). He said vendors are really busy in October because of all the bridal show deal and then busy again in the new year (people getting engaged over the holidays and the big bridal show happens in January) so in Nov and Dec they're not as busy and therefore willing to be more flexible with their prices. Hope this helps.
