There's nothing like seeing the details of a wedding come together! 🩶

Every color, linen, floral, table - it’s all been so thoughtfully chosen. It's a joy to watch the vision come to life.

Every. Single. Time.

Coming from a wedding planner of 10+ years, I've seen ceremony mistakes happen 🫢

Pay attention to some of the small things that can sneak up on you if no one tells you:

🪑 Seating feels too far back: If chairs are placed too far from the altar, it can make the space feel disconnected. Bring guests in a little closer so it feels more intimate (and so they can actually hear your vows).
🕒 Not padding your timeline: Ceremonies almost always take longer than you think. Build in a few extra minutes so you’re not rushed or cutting things short.
🌦️ No weather backup plan: Even if the forecast looks perfect, always have a rain (or wind!) plan. A tent, umbrellas, or even a Plan B location will save the day.
☀️ Ignoring the sun: Direct sunlight can be brutal on guests (and photos). Know where the sun will be during your ceremony and plan shade or timing accordingly.

The good news? A few smart choices up front can help you avoid all of this - and let you actually enjoy the moment.

Wish someone could just take over? That’s literally me.

Your ceremony is filled with little moments that tell your story 🩶

Here are a few you might want to include:

💍 First look (or no first look!) - decide if you want that emotional reveal before the aisle… or save it for the walk down.
📖 Readings like a favorite poem, scripture, or words from someone special.
✨ Unity rituals like candles or sand - whatever feels meaningful to you.
🙏 Prayer or blessing, a grounding moment to start your marriage with intention.
🎶 Special music that means something to you as a couple.
💐 Honoring loved ones through a mention or small gesture to include those who can’t be there.

Every couple’s list looks different - and that’s the beauty of it. Pick the ones that feel true to you!

Fall color changes fast, so if you’re planning a fall wedding, keep this in mind:

🍃 September can still be mostly green
🍂 October brings in light yellows, oranges, and deep reds
🌼 Flowers blooming right now won’t be in season later - check with your florist!

Make sure you scroll through your venue’s Instagram or tagged photos from your wedding month to see what it really looks like!

Your ceremony space sets the tone for the whole day, so let’s talk about the details that matter:

✨ Light: The time of day changes everything.
🌿 Backdrop: Even simple greenery makes a difference.
🪑 Seating: Angled or circular layouts feel so much more inviting.
💐 Aisle: Don’t overdo it - less can be more.
👀 Guest View: What they see is just as important as what you see.

A few intentional choices can take your ceremony from "pretty" to unforgettable! If your Pinterest board needs a real-life plan - reach out 🩶

MOH on duty?

Here’s what *actually* happens when your bestie walks down the aisle.

Once the bride makes it to the altar, the groom will meet her and lead her up. That’s your cue to step in, fluff her train, and take her bouquet. If the bouquet is on the heavier side, don’t be afraid to pass yours to the next bridesmaid so you’ve got a free hand.

After the ceremony - and yes, after the kiss! - you’ll hand the bouquet back to the bride before the introductions begin.

Quick tip: you shouldn’t need to step all the way forward to do this. A simple reach with your arms keeps everything smooth and seamless 👏

The ceremony florals for this wedding were an actual dream 🌸

From the arch framing the altar to the lush arrangements lining the walkway, every detail pulled the space together beautifully. Guests were even given little packets of dried flower petals to toss as the newlyweds made their walk back down the aisle. It was such a fun and thoughtful touch!

Here are some common mistakes I see couples make when making their guest list (and how to avoid them):

❌ Inviting people “just in case” and ending up with a bigger crowd than planned
❌ Forgetting to prioritize close family and friends first
❌ Not considering your venue’s capacity early on
❌ Leaving plus-ones open-ended without clear guidelines
❌ Skipping a plan for kids or guests with special needs

Stuck on your guest list? I can help make sense of it 🤝
