What is the norm and what are you planning to do?  I have the following vendors and I'm not really sure what's expected but I feel I'm paying alot already.

- Florist

- DJ

- Photographer

- Videographer

- Wedding Cater (from hotel venue)/(somewhat acting as a wedding planner/day of planner)

    You tip like you would any other service. About 15-20% is average (even in Mexico where I was married a few weeks ago). Though, for photographer and videographer, you can wait till you recieve your pictures and videos. I had envelopes with cash tips labeled for each vendor. That way I knew what went to who. Each went at the time they rendered their service.

    I think this completely depends on where you are getting married.  We just returned from Scotland, where we will be getting married next Summer, and the vendors do not expect any tips, and it is not customary at all to give them.  I asked multiple people, and vendors, this just to make sure that we do not short anyone.  We will still probably bring some cash to give anyone who is just exceptional.
