Many couples feel a sense of obligation to choose certain people to be in their bridal party, and countless married couples say they regret who they chose.
Whether it’s family members, childhood friends, or those who have used you in their own weddings; no one should get an automatic IN to your wedding support system unless YOU say so.
As you make this decision, consider people’s personalities, reliability, and commitment. Opt for those who have stood the test of friendship-time and have your back, no matter what. Choose people you genuinely enjoy being around and want to celebrate with.
Make sure your squad are the ones who have been your biggest cheerleaders throughout your relationship and will continue to be there for encouragement throughout your marriage . Think of the people you immediately wanted to call (or who already knew and helped plan the proposal) when you got engaged.
You should know with 100% certainty that your bridal party will have your back as they advocate for your choices and vision and that they will bring a calming and joyful presence on your wedding day.
If you need someone’s permission to NOT use your cousin, Sheryl, here it is! I’ll gladly be the one to tell her that she didn’t make the cut! It’s your day and you should have the best people beside you.
P.s. I'd love to be included in the people you choose to support you during this wedding season. Lets chat about how I can best serve you and be your planner bestie so you can relax WITH your bestie.

Picture this: You've spent months, possibly years, planning your wedding and have dreamt of a picturesque day celebrating WITH your spouse.
BUT...between getting ready, taking pictures, and partying the night away, you have hardly spent any time ALONE with your person! This day is about YOU as a couple, right?
Soo...I always tell my bride & groom to SNEAK AWAY to be alone and present with one another for at least 15 minutes. Take a walk, go smooch in the bridal suite, or steal the getaway car and drive around the block! This is a great opportunity to remind one another why you're there in the first place and have an INTIMATE MOMENT you'll never forget.
