We know that wedding planning is stressful, and you probably have some questions that your best friend, your mom, and your coworkers just can’t answer. We’re here to help. We’ve enlisted some of the area’s top vendors—a wedding planner, a photographer, an invitation expert, and a makeup artist­—to answer your wedding-related queries. We’ll have a new roster of vendors every month.

Here’s how it works: Send your question (include your first name and where you live) to vendorchats@washingtonian.com, and we’ll pass them on to the vendors. Every Thursday, we’ll present their answers.

And now, introducing our September experts.
