What does a coordinator do? 🤷♀️🤪
✨Handle vendor issues (WITHOUT YOU KNOWING)
✨Set up your personal decor like memory tables, welcome tables and signage.
✨Set personal items on tables (in this case that was setting the whole table)
✨Put out floral arrangments
✨Handle a flip (when a ceremony space becomes the reception space)
✨Put out couple provided food or drinks when not handled by the cater
✨Put out any fires 🔥 like fixing the dress
✨Stress free cleanup and assisting to load up cars.
P.S - I DID THIS WITH AN ASSISTANT PLEASE DONT EXPECT ALL OF THIS FROM ONE PERSON! 🤪

Wedding Letter Time Capsule 😍😍😍
✨Great alternative to a guest book
✨It can be an activity for during cocktail hour or the reception.
✨You can custom pens as as favors but they’ll also get used right away!
✨ Each guest gets an envelope, a piece of paper, and a pen.
✨ Each envelope had a pre determined number on it. This is the anniversary when the couple will open your letter.
✨ Have a box or mailbox for guests to put their letters when they finish. My couple called it a “Time-capsule”
What are your thoughts?!

5 TIPS to control your Wedding Budget!
1. 🏨 Find a Venue with Value Added
⭐️tables and chairs 🪑can save $5+ pp
⭐️In-house linens and China 🍽️ can save $10+ pp
⭐️Allow outside Alcohol and Catering
⭐️Include a REAL day of coordinator (be careful this rare. Venue coordinators are NOT 🛑 the same)
2. BYOB 🥃🍸🍹 caterered bars add up quickly
⭐️Keep a simple menu 💋
⭐️Buy in bulk and return the unused if allowed in your state. 😏
3. Hire me! I mean… hire a planner 😅
⭐️A good planner 💪 will keep you in budget and manage your expectations of what is possible
⭐️Many have decor rentals and industry connections to save you money. 🤑
⭐️It’s a fixed cost that will pay for itself twice over if you hire the right one. 💁🏼♀️
4. STAY AWAY FROM THE DOLLAR STORE!!! 💵
⭐️Impulse buying without a plan leads to unused items and wasted money. 🗑️
⭐️Many items are actually cheaper when you buy them in bulk elsewhere OR if you rent them. (Vases, candles, floral items etc) 🙌
⭐️ $1.25 is not free my friends!
⭐️ monogrammed and dated items can’t be sold or returned. AND they usually get thrown away or left behind 👎
⭐️If you dont want 100 favors at your house I recommend forgoing them.
5. REUSE DECOR ♻️
⭐️Use as much from your ceremony at your receptions as you can.
⭐️Welcome sign flowers can be used on your seating chart 🌸➡️🌸
⭐️Arbor flowers can be used behind or on your head/sweet❤️ table
⭐️Aisle decor can be used for centerpieces etc.
‼️BONUS TIP‼️
6. Dont spend money on something if its not going to bring you or your partner joy 🤩 OR releave stress on your wedding day 😪
⭐️costs of weddings per person are $100+ 😱
⭐️If someone isn’t going to bring you joy on your wedding day maybe they don’t need to be there 🤷♀️🙃

Should you do a first dance? YESSSSS👍…. NO🛑…MAYBE🤷♀️…SORT OF 😅
All of the above! 🥰
If you want to do a first dance, absolutely do one! But if having a first dance seems scary, doesn’t feel authentic or is causing stress then dont.
Some great alternatives i’ve seen are…
- First video game 🎮 - where we set up a projector screen and gaming consule for the couple to play a match of their favorite game.
- First Shot 🥃 - I’ve done this during cocktail hour to open the bar (so cute) or at the end of the couple’s welcome speech.
- First Karoke Song 🎤🎶- both times I did this my couples did Karoke at their wedding instead of the dance floor and they started it off by singing together.
I plan weddings that feel authentic, which means for me there are no rules. 😉
