Last time we talked about how much time should be put aside for bride and groom portraits, now lets chat about how much time for the bridal and groomsmen portraits⬇🥰

Certainly! Here are three concise tips on how much time to allocate for bridal party and groomsmen portraits:

1. Schedule 30-45 minutes for both bridal party and groomsmen portraits to ensure a relaxed session with time for various group shots.

2. Plan these sessions before the ceremony or immediately after the first look to ensure everyone is present and looking their best.

3. Include a buffer to accommodate any delays or spontaneous moments, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Lets talk about one of the most IMPORTANT wedding topics...

Ceremony etiquette🙌🏻👏🏼 Don't be that person that is talking, recording, or doing anything distraction throughout the whole ceremony.

Instead do this⬇

1. Arrive 15-30 minutes early to ensure you're seated before the ceremony starts.

2. Turn off or silence all electronic devices to avoid disruptions.

3. Sit where instructed, usually bride’s guests on the left and groom’s on the right, unless directed otherwise.

Lets talk about the perfect amount of time for newlywed portraits⬇🥰

1. Schedule a minimum of 30-60 minutes for newlywed portraits to ensure a thorough and unhurried session. This timeframe allows for a variety of poses, candid moments, and different settings around the venue.

2. Plan your portrait session during the golden hour (late afternoon or early evening) to take advantage of the optimal natural lighting. This enhances the quality of your photographs and provides a romantic ambiance.

3. Incorporate some buffer time into your schedule to accommodate any unforeseen delays or spontaneous moments. This approach ensures that you remain relaxed and can fully savor the experience.

Information you can give to help your wedding planner (aka me🥰)

1. Keep your wedding planner updated with your ideas, preferences, and budget. Regularly share any changes or new thoughts to make sure everyone’s aligned.

2. Try to make quick decisions on important things like the venue, vendors, and guest list. This helps your planner stay on track and get the best deals.

3. Give your planner all the important info, like family quirks, special requests, and key contacts. This helps them manage everything smoothly and avoid surprises.

Micro vs. Full wedding, and what will benefit you🥰🙌🏻

1. Think about what aspects of your wedding day are most important to you. If you value intimacy, attention to detail, and personalized touches, a micro wedding might be the better option. On the other hand, if you dream of a grand celebration with a large guest list and all the traditional elements, a full wedding might suit you better.

2. Take a realistic look at your budget and how it aligns with your vision for the day. Micro weddings can be more budget-friendly since they typically involve fewer guests and fewer expenses. However, if you have the financial means and desire to go all out, a full wedding could be the way to go.

3. Micro weddings often require less planning and coordination, making them less stressful for some couples. However, if you enjoy the excitement and challenge of planning a larger event, a full wedding might be more fulfilling for you. Additionally, consider the comfort and preferences of your guests when deciding on the size of your wedding. Some guests may prefer the intimacy of a micro wedding, while others may enjoy the energy of a larger celebration.

Which one would you choose?

Let's talk about wedding table decor and how not over to do it👏🏼😉

1. Keep the table decor balanced by mixing different elements like flowers, candles, and small decorative items. Avoid overcrowding the table with too many items.

2. Choose a cohesive theme or color palette for your table decor to maintain a unified look. Limiting your choices helps prevent the table from looking cluttered or chaotic.

3. Opt for a centerpiece that enhances the table without overpowering it. Consider using varying heights to create visual interest without overwhelming the space.

4. Ensure that your table decor doesn't obstruct guests' views or interfere with their dining experience. Choose low-profile items or elevate taller pieces to maintain functionality.

5. Remember that simplicity can be elegant. Don't feel pressured to fill every inch of the table with decor.
