Sure, it is your wedding and you have big plans and dreams for the day, which might be on your mind 24x7.

Each time you have something in your mind about the wedding, simply note it down in the diary. So, the next time you meet them, you can discuss at length. It will be impossible for your wedding planner to keep a track of multiple messages every day, and they might overlook something in the process.

They might need your opinion on several things, like deciding on vendors, details of a theme, decorations, catering, etc. If you are not reachable, or if you keep them on hold for days, it might reflect on how your wedding turns out to be.
