You know that a decent portion of your wedding day money should be sunk into the food - but letting your guests know what food is being made available to them doesn't have to cost a fortune!

Design your own menus! You can use a website like Canva: it's super user friendly and they have templates at the ready if you aren't creatively inclined. You can then print them out at FedEx for a much cheaper price!

Don't want to waste all that paper and ink? Try using chalkboards above catering stations or at your guests' tables!

The last thing you want on your big day is to be tugging at your underwear the whole time!

Give your undergarments a test run to see if they're too tight, too loose, or are just too uncomfortable in general. After all, there are so many things you're going to have to focus on - checking in on what's going on under your dress definitely shouldn't be one of them.

Got any tips and tricks for keeping undergarments securely in place? Share them below!

Did you know we do engagment announcements?

Brian and Nina did! And it was such a joy getting to work with them.

Two more gentle souls you have never met. Every word, thought, and movement displayed the care, compassion, and kindness that they bring into their own lives and others'. Their buoyant, open, "let's-try-anything" natures made this shoot a breeze - along with the salty air, 😎

Looking to book an engagement announcement for yourself? DM me for more info!

Are you stressed out by a flurry of paper, color confetti, metallic ribbon, and a million different fonts?

Are you not looking forward to your hand cramping when you handwrite all of those addresses?

Then don't!

Place your itinerary, save the dates, invitations, and more on a wedding website that's tailored to your exact specifications and style!

There are plenty of places you can build one yourself for free (Wordpress) or for a price (Squarespace).

But, if you don't want to have to worry about learning how to build an entire website in addition to everything else you have to do for this wedding, we've got you covered! Your Wedding by Plain Wood Digital offers wedding websites in addition to our videography bundles. And, the best part is, it isn't some generic website that every other person gets. We work with you to give you the style you're looking for that's as unique as you are!

Hit me up in the DMs if you're interested in learning more about wedding websites!

Your wedding is an extremely special and important day. It makes sense that you would pull out all the stops!

Draping your venue in diamonds (or crystals for my thrifty brides 🥰) is just the ticket you need to shower your extraordinary day in decadance!

Unless your looking for something a little more casual (especially for a beach wedding). Something that looks more upscale but has an earthy feel is the pearl. These can be intertwined into your already rustic-looking decor for a soft, yet slightly glamorous, sheen.

Are you looking for standout sparkle or understated elegance on your wedding day? Let me know in the comments!

I know I struggle with both fine hair and extremely short hair. Well, at least the short hair was a choice!

But, anyone with fine hair knows that up-dos are a nightmare. Try doing the "messy bun" and all you get is a quarter-sized lump on the back of your head.

Hair extensions don't have to just be there to extend your hair, though! Carefully layering in a few extensions can help thicken up what you already have so that that up-don't becomes the most satisfying and luxurious up-do.

Will you be getting an up-do for your wedding? Let me know what it'll look like in the comments!

This question could be the dealbreaker for both you and your caterer.

Here's the thing: catering is A LOT of work, so it has to be worth their while.

But, if your guest list is super tiny, you might not need the amount of food that'll be worth their time.

See if there is something you guys can work out: whether they can offer you a smaller package or you can incorporate them into your rehearsal dinner at their minimum price. Just find some kind of middle ground that makes it so everyone's happy!

What kind of catering are you gonna have at your wedding? Let me know in the comments!

03/23/2023

Ah, table linens. The most expensive thing on your to-do list that not one guest is gonna notice.

So, why bother?

Seriously! Get rid of them entirely. Let the beautiful wood of your tables do the work for you. Now you can afford those slightly pricier napkin rings you were eyeballing! Or maybe there were some nice plate chargers that caught your interest? I say, add to cart!

What are you gonna do with the money you saved on table linens? Let me know in the comments!

With Bridgerton being the smash hit that it was, it was only a matter of time before it entered our special moments as well.

I mean, who doesn't want to find romance in an elegant regency garden? There's something about making your special love official in such a regal, courtly setting with all the lace, grandeur, and pomp you can muster.

But that might be too stuffy for some. Some might want to find the freedom between Bohemia and the Big City. Perhaps having modern structures and materials draped with bright and warm makeshift charm is the juxtaposition that describes you perfectly.

So, which feels more like you? Let me know in the comments!

Is your daily skincare routine not giving you the dewy, glowing skin you'd been hoping for on your special day?

You might need to add a little oomph at night. Try using a sleeping mask cream! The nightly creams can be a stronger formula that lock in moisture overnight so no tossing and turning on your pillowcase can remove what your skin is already naturally producing.

Just make sure to test it on a small patch of skin well before your wedding day to make sure you don't have any allergic issues on your special day.

You can find sleeping creams at your local pharmacy!

Most weddings are outdoors now. But, with Florida weather being unpredictable (will this thunderstorm last 3 seconds or 3 hours? 🤷‍♀️), it's best to play it safe and have a backup plan.

The good news is, you might not have to come up with it yourself!

Some outdoor venues are aware of the natural risks of having an outdoor wedding and are ready to keep the party going without a hitch. See if their plans match up to your expectations and also if there will be an additional cost to make those necessary changes.

Have you been to an outdoor wedding that had a backup plan? Let me know how it went in the comments!

Love a photo booth but hate how much it costs?

Ditch it!

All you need is a paper backdrop, a few cool and/or silly props, and a polaroid camera.

Not only will your guests be flocking to it just like a photo booth, but the nostalgic charm of it all will provide you with instant keepsakes for everyone at a fraction of the cost.

What would be your first pose at a polaroid station? Let me know in the comments!

03/15/2023

It's time to dance with your new spouse! What kind of song is it gonna be?

Will you be starting out with an emotional ballad? This type of song showcases the lasting power your relationship has. It lays the strength, endurance, and emotional depth that brings the two of you together all out on the table for everyone to see.

Or will you be jamming to an upbeat classic? Keeping things fresh and fun is a key factor in a lasting relationship. Start out really strong with a fun bop to get your guests' toes tapping - or maybe even do some silly choreography?

Let me know your song selections in the comments!

Happy Pie Day!

Let this day be a reminder that you don't have to have cake at your wedding!

Have a family member bake a pie that you both love. You can use that one to cut and then have individual pies handed out to guests in small cups or mason jars.

You could have any flavor you want! You could make a favorite that you both share, a 2 sided pie for when you can't decide, or let the locals choose for you. Key lime is a popular choice for those living in Miami or the Florida Keys.

What flavor pie are you making for your wedding day? Let me know in the comments!

This is probably the most common misconception about my career - how long it actually takes me to do a job.

I don't just show up right as your walking down the aisle, capture the perfect moments, and dip.

The camera, lighting, and sound equipment all have to be set up (which takes a few hours) and stored safely. Then I need time to capture different parts of your venue before I shoot you getting ready for the big event.

After I've captured the actual wedding portion, I have to clean all of my equipment up.

So, a question like, "How much time do you need to set up?' is not only a good one, but it's very welcome! (Mostly because I love sharing my process with people 😆)

Got any more questions for me? I'd love to help! Ask away in the comments or shoot me a DM.

Also, it's my birthday, so I wouldn't mind a few well wishes today! 😁

Tavernier is the southernmost area of Key Largo.

It brings you the salty, easy-going Keys vibe without having to travel all the way to the densely populated Key West.

With an abundance of beautiful blue waters, captivating quaint structures, and easy breezy wildlife and nature surrounding you, choosing Tavernier as your beach wedding venue is a no-brainer.

Have a barbecue for your guests right by the water or choose one the multitudes of charming food and drink locations scattered up and down US1 to host your reception.

And don't forget to capture your first kiss in front of the stunning sunset only the Keys can provide.

Would you have your beach wedding in Tavernier? Let me know in the comments!

Alcohol is so expensive to begin with. Having to face that knowledge when confronting the idea of an open bar just makes it extra daunting.

So, cut the fat!

Your wedding doesn't have to be dry to save on cash. Work with a mixologist to come up with a signature cocktail that personifies who you are as a couple.

Then, serve unlimited amounts of just that cocktail. This way, you're only using 1 or 2 types of alcohol instead of, you know, ALL OF THEM. That way, your guests are happy and so is your wallet.

What kind of drink would you make that represents you and your spouse to be? Let me know in the comments!

Not ready to settle on a traditional tiered wedding cake? Don't worry; you have options!

Serving your cake in a mason jar is a charming twist on the classic cake. You could even personalize each mason jar with your guests' names or add your wedding date on them as a memorable keepsake. Individual cakes are also great to adapt to dietary restrictions - you could have gluten free, allergen free, or vegan options for your guests in need!

Or you could get rid of the cake entirely and opt for a milk and cookies bar. You could really make this fun by adding milk options: almond, oat, soy, or even chocolate milk!

Which of these would you do at your wedding? Or do you have another idea in mind? Let me know in the comments!
