Wedding Linen Sizing Chart and Guide

Created by Liene Stevens of Blue Orchid Designs and Splendid Communications, this Wedding Linen Guide is an ebook that can be downloaded for FREE! If you're like me and terrible with measurements, this is a great chart to keep with you when working on linen rentals and ordering your table linen and chair covers for your wedding reception.  Liene also included a little glossary of common linen terms.

Created by Liene Stevens of Blue Orchid Designs and Splendid Communications, the Wedding Vendor Hiring Guide is an ebook that can be downloaded for FREE! For the bride and groom working on their own without a wedding planner, this is a great resource and will save you time, headache, and maybe even some money by preventing costly mistakes!  Liene details out important questions to ask your potential wedding photographer, florist, officiant, wedding planner, DJ, stationer, and venue with a little description of each.
