We're doing a Christmas Giveaway!

The offer is only valid until January 1st, 2023, so move fast!

This is an offer for those of you who want that full wedding, but getting everything together and paying for each and every one of those vendors is not working for you.

Instead of giving up and going to the courthouse, buy your own wedding and give up all your Christmas worries!

This offer stands for the first three couples to book their very own wedding.

You'll get to pick your own color and style and let us do the rest for you! For just the cost of your vendors, this is a great wedding deal.

You'll get that $40,000 wedding for less than half the cost and none of the stress that comes along with planning it.

Comment on this post or DM me for more details!

It's Wednesday! Time for our wedding tip for the week.

Planning a wedding can be very stressful to say the least. Here are some tips on how to stay sane during the wedding planning process!

1. Hire a wedding planner! This may seem like the obvious, but I'll never say it enough! If you are too busy to plan a wedding, a wedding planner is for you. If you just don't know where to start, a wedding planner is for you! Yes, you can plan a wedding on your own, but a wedding planner has a wealth of knowledge from planning so many other weddings! They are an invaluable resource that you should at least look into before starting to plan your wedding!

2. Take everything one step at a time. This is something people often put to the side. When planning an event, you are likely to start thinking of all the things that need to happen between now and then. This is only amplified for a wedding because it's one of the most special days of your life! But take a deep breath, and take everything one step at a time. Start with something you know needs to happen and only move on once that task is complete. You will overload yourself if you start thinking of everything at the same time.

3. Remember, your job is to enjoy your wedding! Sometimes, couples can get so caught up in planning their wedding that they forget, this is supposed to be a celebration! Enjoy the time you are engaged and look forward to the time when you will be married! Getting too caught up in the planning of a wedding can force you to loose sight of what you're really planning for. Don't forget to enjoy!

It's Wednesday! Time for the wedding tip for the week.

Everyone always feels like they didn't ask the right questions or they're forgetting something.
This tip is for you! Here are three things you might be forgetting to ask your venue!

1. How much parking do you have available? Sometimes a venue may be able to hold hundreds of people, but they don't have enough parking for everyone. Sometimes venues have special directions for where people are supposed to park or where handicapped guests can pull up to. Sometimes venues may even have parking further from the venue site. This is a great question to ask venues when touring, especially if you think any of your guests might have trouble accessing your venue.

2. Do you have a rain plan? I love outdoor ceremonies, especially during the fall, but weather here in Tennessee is very unpredictable! Make sure to ask the venues you're touring if they have a rain plan! It will be so stressful to have to come up with a last minute plan if it starts to rain on your big day. (This applies to any inclement weather! Snow, extreme wind, even if it gets too hot for your liking!)

3. Do you provide clean-up services? This is a great question people often forget to ask. The last thing you want to think about after you've just married the love of your life and thrown an excellent party is how you're going to clean everything up. Whether someone threw up or made a mess or you just don't want to pick up all that trash, a provided cleaning service is a lifesaver after your wedding.

Tear-down is something we offer in our Day-Of Coordination as well! Be sure to check out the link in our bio and schedule your free consultation today!

It's time to start Wedding Tip Wednesdays!
This is something I've seen other vendors do and I thought I'd give it a try!
Check our account every Wednesday for a new Wedding Tip!

Today's tip is all about allocating your wedding budget.
Allocating the budget is hard because you don't necessarily know how much everything will cost, you don't know how much you want to spend, and it all seems very overwhelming.

Well take a deep breath and check out these tips:

1. Talk with your fiancé and whomever may be contributing to your wedding fund and agree before you do any budgeting what the maximum amount you want to spend should be. Once you have this in place, you can more easily allocate money to stay below your set price.

2. Talk with your fiancé and come up with your top three vendors. These are the vendors that will make or break your wedding day for you and they must be perfect! These will be the vendors you will likely spend the most money on. (Keep in mind, your top three vendors could still be less expensive than others depending on what you're looking for)

3. Remember that how many people you're inviting to your wedding can affect the price your vendors charge you. The biggest example of this is your catering. Even if all your catering options cost the same amount per head, the more guests you invite to your wedding, the more your catering quote will be!

What is Full Planning?

Great question! Full planning is for those couples that have so much going on, they don't have time to plan a wedding on top of everything else. Or you may be that couple that just doesn't want to spend ALL your time researching different things, or wondering what all you're forgetting.

Full Planning is for EVERYONE!

Here's what you'll get when you book with Forever Weddings:

- Budget planning. This includes the WHOLE budget, including small detail allocation. We use this budget throughout the whole process to keep everything affordable for you!

- Design planning. Yes, we design your dream wedding! We go through all the pictures, all the colors, all the themes. We want to know exactly what you want to we can get it for you!

- Vendor EVERYTHING. We do the research, we get the quotes, we negotiate for you, we do the calling, the emailing, the texting, all the back and forth you don't want to do. We plan everything for you from the venue to the guest book. And you can be as involved or as hands-off as you wish!

- ALL the details. We are a treasure trove of knowledge for you! We've done weddings so many times so you only have to do this once. Your dream wedding is important to us! We'll make sure nothing is missed.

- EVERYTHING on the big day! Everything that you get in our Day-Of Coordination package, you get too!! This means coordination, set-up, tear down, and even the wrangling of your bridal party.

What is Day-Of Coordination?
This is a question I get asked all the time!

Our Day-Of Coordination package is perfect if you'd like to plan your own wedding or you already have everything laid out!

Our package starts around 6 weeks before your big day and includes the following:

1. Creation of a timeline for your big day. This will be given to all your vendors to make sure everyone is on the same page!

2. Rehearsal coordination. This is exactly what it sounds like! We'll walk through your whole ceremony and make sure everyone knows exactly what's going on. We want everyone prepared for your big day!

3. Set-up. We are in charge of making sure your big day looks exactly like you want it to! We will take your vision and make it a reality without you having to worry.

4. Coordination. This sounds like a given, but I still get a lot of questions. Coordination includes everything from greeting and managing vendors to wrestling little ringbearers and flower girls. We will handle EVERYTHING on your big day so all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy!

5. Tear Down. This one is pretty self explanatory! We are in charge of working with your venue to make sure everything is put away at the end of the night. You are free to enjoy your first day together with your husband and go prop up your feet after a long night! We will make sure everything goes in the right car, all your decorations are saved, and you get to eat your top tier on your 1st anniversary ;)

You do not want to miss out on this amazing opportunity to relax on your big day!
