[quote=Anonymous]OP, all the planning details are only as stressful as you allow them to be.  If you get all caught up in matching the ribbon of your bouquet to the dinner napkins, yes, it'll be a pain.  If you chose competent vendors and let them have some free reign within your parameters, you'll be fine.

We went to ONE florist for our wedding that a friend recommended.  I said, "here is our budget, I need some kind of decoration by our wedding site where we say our vows, this many bouquets, and this many table tops arrangements, and I want flowers in blues and purples that have sort of an English country-garden feel, and I hate lilies."  From there, the florist came up with a proposal that made the most for my money (because I wasn't specific about flowers, she could pick the ones in season) and she was creative about things like doing arrangements that could be moved easily from the wedding site to the reception site.  Our entire meeting took an hour and a couple of calls to confirm the proposal and the details of the wedding.  No muss no fuss and my flowers were gorgeous.

Another example --we had a piano player at the reception.  I did not create and provide a playlist.  I just said "Cole Porter, Gerschwin, that kind of thing."  Again, it was maybe 2 phone calls.  He was a huge hit.[/quote]
