Saturdays from April to October are the busiest days of the year for venues, florists and stylists in Atlanta. Here is what to expect and how to plan around it.

The earlier you book your styling team, the more choice you have on design and timing.

Most venues allow vendors in three to four hours before the ceremony. Popular venues often host two events on the same day, so the time can be even shorter.

• Book your stylist six to nine months ahead
• Ask the venue for the exact access time and loading rules
• Confirm the final guest count four weeks before
• Plan for ceremony décor to move to the reception

A good timeline is the best decoration on a busy Saturday. Share it with every vendor and the day runs itself.
