You wait and plan. If questions come up, you can email your planner, but they won't be contacting you unless there's a problem with your date.
We are nearing our 8 month mark, and I can't wait to finally book and get the ball rolling. Everything is just about done on my end; now I just have to wait to make it all official.
We booked ours on May 3 so a day early and the lady on the phone took all our info and passed it along. Kristi Davis contacted us by email shortly after, within a week I believe. She sent out our contract which we had to review and send back within a week or so. After we made changes to the contract we then heard from our wedding coordinator (Tanis Armstrong) within a month or so and have been dealing with her ever since. We don't chat very much. I send emails if I have any questions. We did have a phone converstion with Rosie regarding floral.
