What if I want to cancel aspects of my wedding, but not the whole thing?
There are a couple things you can do if you want to cancel certain aspects of your wedding. When you're wedding planning, you definitely want to ask your vendor if you're contracted to them for a certain date, or if you're contracted to them for a certain amount. So those are two very distinctive things. You can be contracted to someone and say, "I will be booking your services, and therefore I'm giving you a deposit, but I can spend from x amount with you and up." So realistically, if you're booking, say, a florist, and that says, "You're going to give me a five hundred dollar deposit, and I'm going to keep that deposit to book your date, but you can change whatever you want. So if you decide to just get your personal flowers with me, meaning bouquets, boutonnieres, things like that, and you cancel all your centerpieces, that's okay." Whereas maybe another florist will say, "No. You're contracting with me for ten thousand dollars, so therefore you cannot go below that amount, but you can allocate that money in any way that you prefer." So if you're at all concerned about your budget, you need to be sure that you book the first vendor, which says that you're booking for a date, but not a set amount of money.
