Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and it's natural to want everything to be perfect. However, in the midst of all the excitement and planning, it's easy to forget about taking some personal time for yourself.

This personal time can be spent in whatever way feels most relaxing and rejuvenating to you. Maybe it's taking a quiet walk around the venue, having a few moments to meditate or pray, or just savoring a cup of coffee in peace. Whatever it is, make sure it's something that truly helps you feel centered and calm.

Not only will this personal time help you feel more relaxed and present throughout the day, but it will also give you a chance to fully appreciate all the amazing moments you'll experience. From the first look to the first dance, your wedding day will be jam-packed with memories you'll want to cherish forever. Taking some personal time will allow you to fully soak in each moment and appreciate all the love and joy around you.

So, if you're planning your wedding, make sure to prioritize some personal time on your big day. You won't regret it. 💍💕

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life. It’s a day when you celebrate love, joy, and your commitment to your partner. But as much as we try to plan everything down to the last detail, sometimes unexpected things happen. That’s why it’s essential to have a wedding day emergency kit.

Imagine this - your dress gets a tear, your hair gets messed up, or your makeup smudges. These are all things that can happen on your wedding day, but instead of letting them ruin your special day, you can be prepared. Having an emergency kit will give you peace of mind knowing that you have everything you need to fix any last-minute issues.

Your wedding day emergency kit should include items such as a sewing kit, stain remover, hairpins, and extra makeup. It’s also a good idea to have pain relievers and antacids on hand, just in case. By having everything you need in one place, you can quickly and efficiently fix any issues that arise.

Your wedding day is a day you’ll remember for the rest of your life, so make sure it’s a day filled with love, joy, and happiness. Having a wedding day emergency kit is just one way to ensure that everything goes smoothly. So, brides-to-be, make sure you check the blog and get your emergency kit check list! ❤️💍

When I first launched Planning Forever, LLC I positioned myself as a full service wedding planner because honestly that’s what I loved SO much! From engagement to the second the couple was sent off through a sparkler exit, I loved helping them make their vision come to life. I know how stressful the entire process can be and I always wanted to be the person that could minimize some of that stress and help the couple focus on the FUN instead. And don’t get me wrong – I’m still all about those things! But the way that I do it has changed just a bit.

Since adding a sweet little baby to our family, I wanted to find a way to offer the same level of service to my clients without jumping into the full planning role. Because honestly, sometimes a couple doesn’t need a full planning package to bring their dream day to life. After working with clients in various capacities, I’ve realized that some people need help with just a timeline creation or simply need guidance on when to do what. Others need help just during the month of their wedding, while some need hands-on help just for the rehearsal or ceremony. 

With all of these things in mind, I’ve re-structured how you can work with Planning Forever, LLC in 2024 and each of these service offerings serve as a way for you to choose what you need specifically. 
Instead of spending time trying to customize my full planning package to tailor different needs, I’ve narrowed it down to what I’ve seen couples need most. 
So, if you’re planning a wedding in 2024 or beyond and are looking for a wedding planner that has additional offers outside of full planning services, I’m your girl!
I’m honored to continue serving Georgia and Florida in various capacities and would love to connect to see which service is best for you.

Having Chalonda by our side during our planning and on the big day made everything come together so nicely! She has been very responsive and helpful since day 1 (we worked with her for over a year). She has checklists, recommendations, tips and tricks, and will find out the answer to any question or concerns that come up. She sent monthly emails to make sure everything was smooth, reminders to keep us on track, and didn’t hesitate to help anytime we reached out. She was there on our walkthrough the week before, and on wedding day her and her husband were essential parts of our team. They helped set everything up just the way we wanted, kept everything on time and organized, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Chalonda is so sweet, has great advice, and takes the stress away! If you’re thinking about booking a planner, I couldn’t imagine anyone better!

One of the best parts of being a wedding planner is that you get to be involved in all sorts of different types of weddings.

Some couples go the more traditional wedding route, others like to choose their own adventure, and then you have some who choose to honor their religion and I’ve got to say – those are some of the most heartfelt events that I’ve ever gotten to be a part of!

And that was definitely the case for Libby and Nate’s wedding on a beautiful October day in 2023.

Having a first look on your wedding day can add a special and intimate moment to your celebration. A first look allows you and your partner to see each other before the ceremony in a private setting, giving you a chance to share your excitement, calm nerves, and have a quiet moment together before the hustle and bustle of the day begins. It can create a cherished memory that you both will treasure for years to come.
In addition to the emotional benefits, a first look can also be practical. It provides an opportunity for the couple to take their wedding photos before the ceremony, allowing them to enjoy their cocktail hour with guests instead of spending time away for pictures. This can help the day flow more smoothly and maximize time spent celebrating with loved ones. Ultimately, whether or not to have a first look is a personal decision, but it can be a lovely addition to your wedding day if you’re looking for a special moment to share with your partner.

If you are renting a suit, TRY IT ON! Do not wait until the wedding. Take the few minutes to make sure everything fits and you have all the items needed.

The last thing you want is to show up on the wedding day and the suit doesn’t fit or is missing pieces.
