💝Repeat after me, “Planning a wedding is fitness training for a strong marriage…” Remember your “why” and the rest is details. Surrounding yourself with those (friends, fam and stellar vendors) who will point you back to your “why” is just as vital.

Before my couples walk down the aisle, I meet with each party individually (or together, if you’ve had a First Look!). We take a deep breath, let go of the curveballs or tensions and REMEMBER YOUR WHY.

🪄Then I give you this sweet tip to try at the altar: Stand close enough to hold hands with arms relaxed (don’t worry about blocking the officiant - it’s not about us, it’s YOUR moment!), gaze into each other’s eyes and occasionally squeeze each other’s hands. Then you will not miss a moment standing at your altar as you step into marriage together. Your ceremony is your literal launch of your marriage - you want to take in every moment with each other.

This also takes out the nerves of “being on stage” or “being in the spotlight” because it’s just the two of you and your officiant having an intimate conversation (if your officiant does their job right!). It’s not a performance.

You don’t have to be one of those couples who says “I don’t even remember standing at the altar.” Breaks my heart to hear this so often from couples I didn’t marry. 💔

These are things to talk to your officiant about. Make sure you can stand this close, without a mic stand being in the way, or the officiant needing to be the center of attention. If you have a new officiant (say a friend or relative), give them the best tools to help make your time at the altar more than you even knew was possible. Make your ceremony memorable for the right reasons!

After many stories of new officiants making mistakes, I created Officiatelikeapro.com to help new officiants do a spectacular job for their loved ones. I believe you should have someone you trust standing with you up there! And here’s how to set them up for success!

Thanks for these li’l reminders! ✨

“Dream Team” is right Phytology Flowers! So fun to be with such fabulous women creating a special event to honor mothering and perpetual love.

When Morgan & Ashby came to my office, I could tell immediately they had a special bond. Their ease with each other and care for one another was obvious as we went through what they would like for their ceremony. They made each other laugh easily and working with them was a joy. Then their wedding day was filled with laughter and that same sweetness between them. Seeing these photos as my cabin is surrounded by snow, reminds me that the winter leads to amazing Summer wildflowers and Fall colors. Excited for our upcoming season!
