Rain or shine, we're doing the dang thing!
Clay and Sophia, we watched you get married in the rain, and it was STUNNING. You were absolute gems to work with, and I'm so glad you trusted me to pull your vision together. All of the blessings as you move into this next chapter! Congratulations, my friends!

Having a kid-free wedding? Make sure to note that on your RSVP card and your website!
You can say something as simple as, "as much as we'd like to acommodate everyone, this will be an adults-only event, so make it a date night! We can't wait to celebrate with you!"

To prevent rain on your wedding day, bury a bottle of bourbon!
Is this old wives tale an old southern superstition? Yes. Did it work for Johnathon and Madison's wedding? Also yes!
This bride and groom were nervous about rain on their wedding day, so after their rehearsal the night before, they buried a bottle of bourbon to chance their luck!
Right after their rain-less ceremony, they dug it up and took a sip to celebrate a dry day before heading to their covered reception space (where it POURED).
Here's to wedding season, the chance of spring showers, and a new-to-you superstition to try!

Disclaimer: not all weddings fail without a professional Day of Coordinator.
BUT, a lot goes into coordinating someone's day and ensuring everyone and everything is where they're supposed to be at the right time.
If you plan to have a family friend coordinate your wedding, make sure they're good at organization, timelines, and managing lots of things at once. So many venues require licensed and insured coordinators/planners because so many "good family friends" have messed up big time.
If a coordinator isn't part of your budget designation, that's okay! No shame here! Just make sure that whoever you choose to help you behind the scenes is actually going to make your life easier instead of running to you every 30 seconds to ask questions about where things/people are supposed to be.
When you hire Weaver Weddings, we make sure that you're able to enjoy your day instead of running around and managing people and logistics.

Have you been shocked at some of the quotes you've received? That's normal. Weddings are expensive. Take a breather!
Make sure you're spending the big money on the things that matter the most to you. Are you okay with spending extra money on that thing and having to cut down on something else? Or are you choosing to go a little over budget?
Do whatever is right for you as long as you won't regret it later!
It's amazing what our brains convince us is necessary for weddings. Think about the weddings you've been to and what could have been forgotten because no one really appreciated it like the couple expected. It's okay to step away from the expectations and put your practical hat on instead.
If you're not sure about what to do, we're here to be a third party/unbiased resource!
It's amazing how many people come out of the woodwork with their opinions about YOUR wedding.
Want to be traditional? Great!
Want to stray from tradition and do something sentimental to the two of you? Also great.
You don't want to do a seating chart, but your mom is demanding you do one? Do what you want.
This day should be about you and your partner. Do what YOU want to do, especially if their idea costs additional money. Don't spend extra money just beacuse they expect you to.
Need a third party opinion? We're here for you!

This happens a lot!
Prior to 2020, the rough estimate for attendees was 60-70% of the people you'd invite would attend your wedding.
Since 2021, that number is closer to 80-90%, so make sure you are mathing correctly when sending those invites!
This happened at mine and Matt's wedding. We invited 190, expecing 130 to say yes. We also deliberately got married at Thanksgiving, thinking it would automatically knock out some people. It didn't. Only 6 people RSVP'd no, so we had to set up more tables and move the food to the covered deck. It all came together, but we spent more than we expected. Even in the midst of rearranging everything, we felt so, so loved at how many of our friends showed up!
If you're nervous about this, let's talk. You can send invitations in rounds as you receive RSVPs, or you can choose to spend some additional money on catering, place settings, and table decorations.
Your wedding, your rules. Do what you want!

It's the biggest day of your life! Keep it together, watch where you're going, smile pretty, and walk slower than you think you should.
