I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: one of my favorite moments each wedding day is the recessional. Seeing family and friends’ reactions to the happy couple in the moments right after “I Do!” is just the BEST 🫶🏼

Brides and grooms, don’t forget to pause for a second kiss or a dip on your way out. It makes for the best photo. A ceremony setting as beautiful as this one helps too, of course!

When you think about your first dance, do you feel excited or a little bit anxious? Many couples tell me they’re most nervous for this event during their wedding reception. Your first dance doesn’t have to be intimidating, and it should always be a reflection of you and your partner’s personalities and relationship 🤍 Below are a few tips to follow:

1. Consider choreographing your dance, or at least portions of it. This can be a fun bonding activity AND it makes for great photos like the ones above. If you’re not interested in taking in-person lessons, YouTube is a great resource to use at home.

2. On that note, practice makes perfect! Walking through your first dance before the big day will help ease any jitters. Even if you just practice one dip for a fun photo, I promise it will be worth it.

3. If you’re not keen on being in the spotlight, talk with your band or DJ and determine a point in your song that you’d like the music to fade out or stop. There’s no rule that says you have to dance for the entire song!

Follow along for more planning tips, and comment below if you think Megan & Greg nailed their first dance 💃🏼🕺🪩

“That’s not my job” is a phrase you’ll never hear from me. On wedding days you can find me steaming dresses and veils, drying off bouquets, handing out mints before the ceremony, grabbing extra bottles of water for vendors, and more. And I love every minute of it!

Staying organized with checklists and a master timeline allows me to stay on top of the big things, while also jumping in to help with these smaller tasks in between.

The ceremony recessional is one of my favorite parts of a wedding day! Seeing the pure joy on everyone’s face is the best feeling 🩵

Your wedding day should be a reflection of you and you partner’s unique love story and the life you’re building together 🤍 It was so fun to include Jordan and Nate’s pups, Honey and Rocket, in their ceremony.

And working with cute pets is just a bonus in this job!

The First Look ✨

Have you been considering including this intimate moment in your timeline? Let’s talk about why this is a wonderful way to personalize your wedding day.

✨ A first look provides you with the opportunity to read private vows before your ceremony, or just soak in a few minutes with your partner alone.
✨ You’ll be able to spend a few more hours with your partner on your wedding day.
✨ A first look allows you to wrap up all of your formal photos, including family portraits, before your ceremony.
✨ You can then join in on the fun of cocktail hour with your wedding party and guests.

Ultimately, it’s up to you and your partner whether or not you decide to do a first look before your ceremony. I love creating unique timelines for each couple I work with to meet their needs 🤍

It’s officially October, which means this week is full of 2024 wedding planning!

And I’ll be loving every minute 🤍

September is my favorite month of the year and I can’t believe it’s here! 🤩

What’s your favorite fall activity?

Tips for a stress-free wedding morning 🧖‍♀️🫧🥂

1. Choose a getting-ready space with plenty of room, light, and amenities 🤍 Don’t forget that hair and makeup artists, photographers, and other vendors will be in the space as well as your wedding party. Bigger is always better!
2. Delegate tasks among your wedding party ahead of time 🤍 Who will steam dresses? Who will bring coffee and snacks? Who will manage the Spotify playlist and bring a speaker?
3. Build buffer time into your schedule 🤍 I cannot stress this one enough! Hiring a planner or a coordinator is a great way to ensure that your timeline is manageable.
