As a wedding planner, I have seen my share of wedding ceremonies. Watching a couple exchange their vows and share their first kiss can be the most meaningful part of the day.

Below are some tips for making sure you have a smooth wedding ceremony.
1. Clearly communicate reserved seating ahead of time
I have seen on more than one occasion the front 2 rows empty because family members (outside of the processional) were unsure where to sit. Also keep in mind aisle seating for readers to they can easily get out to speak.

2. Determine the side of the bride and groom
The traditional side for the bride to stand on is the left with the groom on the right. However, Jewish ceremonies flip the sides. I also have brides that prefer one side for photos. Also talk about if you want your family seated on the same side as you or if you want them on the opposite side so they are looking directly at you as opposed to your back.

3. Have everyone take their seats
After the bride has made her way down the aisle and joined the groom at the altar, make sure the officiant tells all the guests to take their seats. It seems pretty straight forward but you would be surprised how often guests keep standing without instructions telling them to be seated. It also helps for photos if all the guests are not standing for the entire ceremony.

4. Make sure the officiant steps out of the way for the first kiss
Be sure to give the officiant a moment to step out of the way before the kiss. No one wants the gorgeous first kiss shot ruined by the officiants head behind them.

5. Practice the dip beforehand
If you are planning to do a dip during the recessional, please practice it ahead of time. Make sure you know which way you are dipping and what you are doing with your bouquet.

I recommend that you save this post for later when you are finalizing all your ceremony details.

A Fairytale in Black & White ❤️🖤

Imagine the most romantic winter wedding set against the historic charm of Boston. That was the enchanting reality for Stephanie & Joe as they celebrated their love story.

From the moment I first met with them, I knew their wedding would be an elegant and unforgettable affair. The classic black tie attire, stunning all-white floral designs illuminated by flickering candles, and sophisticated black accents created a timeless ambiance and palette that perfectly suited the grandeur of Emmanuel Church and the upscale Rochambeau restaurant. Surrounded by family and friends the couple celebrated their love story and danced the night away.

It was an absolute joy and honor to be entrusted with bringing Stephanie & Joe's wedding vision to life. Knowing that I was able to relieve their stress, ensure a seamless flow to the day, and manage every detail behind-the-scenes so they could be fully present and enjoy this momentous occasion means everything to me.

Thanks to the amazing vendor team who helped bring this wedding to life.

A Masterpiece of Love: Amanda & Ahmad's Artful Union

Every once in a while, a wedding comes along that feels like it was painted from the imagination. Set against the backdrop of Worcester's White Room art gallery, Amanda and Ahmad's long-awaited celebration was a work of art in itself.

It was an honor to witness the way this couple wove together their unique heritages—Palestinian/Lebanese dabke dancers and Brazilian-inspired cuisine created an atmosphere that was both festive and deeply personal. The earthy tones of green throughout the decor perfectly complemented the gallery's blank canvas.

Planning Amanda and Ahmad's big day meant not only curating each thoughtful detail, but also supporting them through a season of immense change. Juggling a move, soon-to-be parenthood, and their postponed wedding plans, this couple needed a steady hand to hold. Walking alongside them to craft the perfect itinerary and ensure seamless logistics was a true joy.

Thanks to all the vendors who helped bring this special day to life.

There's no denying that Mother Nature has a mind of her own. When planning your outdoor wedding, make sure to listen to her cues and be prepared for anything.

Here are our top tips:

Beat the heat: If you're getting married in the summer months, make sure to provide shade and cooling stations for guests. Bonus points if you provide fans or misting fans as well!

Prepare for wind: From tablecloths to flower arrangements, anything that can fly away should be weighed down or secured beforehand.

Plan for rain: Have a backup indoor space ready to go in case of a sudden downpour. And don't forget to have plenty of umbrellas on hand for guests!

By planning ahead and taking into account Mother Nature's whims, you can ensure that your outdoor wedding is a success.

A Romantic Bostonian Wedding with Paraguayan Flair

What an honor it was to help Bethany & Raul bring their dream wedding to life! The day began with a beautiful ceremony at the historic Harvard Memorial Church, where their adorable cats made quite the entrance as "ringbearers" in their very own cat stroller. The couple also had a special moment in the ceremony to honor their respective parents who were no longer with them by watering an orchid and tree.

The celebration continued at the elegant Bostonian hotel, with the sophisticated blue and red color palette woven throughout the decor. One of my favorite unique touches was the talented harpist filling the room with traditional Paraguayan melodies. It was so special to help incorporate Raul's cultural heritage into their big day. The couple also included their beloved cats with representative cat figurines on the cake.

I'm thrilled that Bethany & Raul trusted me to manage all the logistics and details so they could relax and soak in every romantic moment.

Thanks to all the vendors who helped bring this special day to life.

A Perfect Boston Beginning for a Joyous Journey Ahead

There's nothing sweeter than a classic, intimate wedding celebrating two people deeply in love. Carly Carly Houldridge and Michael's elegant day was filled with romantic details, from the traditional church ceremony to the cozy restaurant reception at charming Mamma Maria in the heart of Boston's North End.

Carly carried a bouquet of pure white roses, a beautiful complement to the pops of blue from the bridesmaid dresses. After the vows, they strolled through scenic Boston Common for photos, the newlyweds riding in style in a vintage car.

It was an honor to help this sweet couple enjoy a stress-free wedding before their exciting move abroad. Helping them stay present, soak in every moment, and begin their greatest adventure yet was so fulfilling.

Thanks to all the vendors who helped bring this special day to life.
