🍍 QUESTION: What are the pitfalls to be aware of when doing a DIY wedding?

After having my own wedding in March, I can tell you that choosing your bridal party shouldn't be that hard! 🥂🙌
Everyone has different expectations about having even numbers, boys vs girls 'sides', and reciprocating when you've been in someone else's bridal party ... but at the end of everything, that's all just superfluous B.S.! You should be making the decision based on YOUR HEART!! ❤❤❤
So here are my top tips!!
You wanna choose a bridal party that ticks all these boxes:
1. They love you unconditionally
2. They’ve got your best interests at the forefront of every decision and piece of advice they give you
3. They’ll be honest and compassionate when they do give advice
4. They’ll make your wedding day better just by being there
** Sorry no bloopers this time ..I was obviously just on point 🤣🤣🤣

How to create your wedding day timeline!
👉 WEDDING DAY TIMELINES 👈
I find them super easy, but that's probably 'cause I've done them for 10 years LOL.
But most people haven't had the opportunity to do it before, so it doesn't come naturally. Totally understandable!
Sooo many people get really overwhelmed & confused by creating their wedding day schedule ... BUT don't panic!
'Cause once you've got the skeleton in place, then it's really easy to fill in the blanks.
.
What you wanna do to get started is:
1. Open a spreadsheet
2. Put in the ceremony start time
3. Put in the reception start time
4. Fill in the blanks!
.

Let me know below if you've got any questions about YOUR wedding day schedule! ❤

Let's talk about that dress train, girls! 👗
It's something most brides don't think about until they're standing with their alterations chick & feeling like they've gotta make a quick decision.
GAHH!!
So, some quick tips & things to consider in advance.
Like, are you having a bustle, or looping your dress train over your arm??
Just some things to consider 😍❤💍
Girls, I think we've all had the experience of wearing heels for a long night out and regretting it instantly!!

So my best tip to staying comfortable on the wedding day is to give your feet all the love!!
You've gotta be comfortable at your wedding and one of the best ways that I helped myself when i got married 2 weeks ago, was to invest in good quality leather heels and have a spare set of Converse ready so I could keep dancing the night away!!
.
.
.
If you're interested, i got my heels from Wittner Shoes & my Connies from rebel sport (yeah weird choice but it was, like, 2 days before the wedding so i had limited options 😝😂👍)
