Don’t let others stand in the way of YOUR big day with the love that YOU found and nourished. At the end of the day this is about you and your love. Period. Leave that on business. I said what I said…now let’s talk about the endless ways to personalize your wedding day from the decor, sentimental items added into your wedding. You can pick and choose any traditions you want to keep in your wedding timeline. You can make your own traditions.

Plan ahead!

Minimize your stress and butterflies & plan ahead. Who wants to stress, coordinate & solve problems are your wedding day? Not you, this isn’t what you paid for and what your day is all about. The getting ready process is crucial to your day running smoothly and where a lot of time gets used up. There has been weddings where the vow books, rings, dress, tux were forgotten. Learn from their mistakes and have everything ready to go. Make a list, check it twice and do everything you can before hand for a stress free experience. Steam your attire the day before & save time the day of. I always ask my couples to have all their details all in one box so I can start with that when I arrive at the venue. I had a bride once raise the bar and had all her details boxed and labeled with sticky notes on where they go after I am done taking pictures of them. “Groom, reception decor, brides room ect.” Super helpful, one less thing I have to bug you about on who is responsible for these items when I am done with them. Don’t forget the important little details on who will be setting up, who is taking care of your fur babies and everything in between. The unexpected always happens but it never hurts to try and get count all your ducks so you know if any or missing and what to do with any new ones that come your way. Things that eat up time, Steam dresses, iron the suits

Steam your wedding attire.

This still falls under the plan ahead category but steaming your attire the day before is a life saver the day of. Have your entire bridal party steam their attire so all that needs to be done the day of is touch up steaming. Each dress and shirt can take up to 10 minutes to steam. Save that time for literally anything else! Have everything already steamed and dressed-for the wedding day you just need light little touch ups.

Capture the Candid Moments: Hire a roving photographer to follow you around for an hour, capturing candid, real-life moments as you interact, laugh, and enjoy your day. These will be some of your most cherished photos.

Host a Private Vow Exchange: Find a secluded spot away from the crowd to exchange personal vows, just the two of you. It could be under a favorite tree, by the water, or in a cozy nook of your venue.

Take a Joyride: Rent a cool vintage car, scooter, or even bicycles and take a quick spin around the block. It’s a fun way to break away from the crowd and enjoy a moment of freedom together.

Game On: Set up a mini game station with your favorite board games or video games. Challenge each other to a quick game and let your competitive sides shine.

Stargazing Moment: If your wedding extends into the evening, take a moment to step outside and gaze at the stars together. It’s a peaceful, romantic break from the festivities.

Craft Cocktails Together: Set up a DIY cocktail station and mix up your own signature drinks. Have fun experimenting with flavors and toasting to your new adventure together.

Remember, it’s your day—embrace the unexpected, have fun, and make it uniquely yours!

Take time walking down the aisle- soak it all in

Soak it in, smile at your guests or keep your eyes locked on your love down at the alter waiting for you. Live in the moment, this is an important one. Feel all the feels, it is all gravy. I have seen newly weds dance down the aisle, run down the aisle to walking to the beat of the chosen song. Do you boo. This is your moment.

Have Cater Set Aside food for you

This is important. Make sure to talk with your cater on what you would like after the ceremony and a great place for them to set it. You will be hungry and you don’t want to miss out on your delicious cocktail hour food and drinks.
