The difference between a calm morning and chaos comes down to one thing, your timeline. ⏱️
Here are 5 mistakes I see brides make again and again (and how to avoid them).
Because a flawless day doesn’t happen by chance, it’s designed. 🤍
1. Not planning enough time for transportation
👉 Whether it’s shuttles, Ubers, or vintage cars, travel between locations always takes longer than you think (and loading people takes even longer).
2. Not accounting for bustling the dress
👉 Bustling often takes longer than brides expect, especially with layered gowns or detailed trains. Between finding each bustle point and securing them properly, it can take 15 minutes or more. Plan that time into your schedule so your guests are not waiting and your entrance feels seamless.
3. Assuming guests move quickly
👉 Guests often take their time moving from cocktail hour to the reception space getting drinks, finding seats, saying hello. Build in grace time so transitions feel natural, not rushed.
4. Leaving décor installs or styling too close to guest arrival
👉 Design magic takes time. If the setup team is still lighting candles when guests arrive, the ambiance suffers. Give your creative team breathing room to perfect it.
5. Scheduling toasts or special dances back-to-back
👉 Guests lose attention and your flow feels rushed. Space them out with dinner or courses to keep energy high.
Save this for later and thank yourself on wedding day.
