Save my day-of timeline to help keep everything running smoothly this winter ❄️

Timing is key in the winter months, as shorter daylight hours and cooler temperatures can impact your schedule. To make the most of your day, it’s important to plan your ceremony earlier to capture those beautiful natural light photos before sunset. Plus, a clear timeline ensures that every moment is enjoyed, allowing for cozy indoor festivities that your guests will love!

What’s one thing you can’t wait to include in your wedding day?

Things you're probably forgetting for your wedding day

Arranging meals for vendors
Snacks for the bridal party and family
A printed copy of your vows
A designated quiet area for you and your partner
A few touch-up items, like hair spray and lipstick, for quick fixes during the day
A list of key contacts (planners, family members) with your venue and vendors for quick communication

It's easy to overlook details like this when it's not the first thing on your mind like your timeline or the meal. But having snacks on hand for your wedding party and ensuring your vendors are well-fed throughout the day are just as important as the big stuff!

To the grooms:

Making wedding decisions, checking off to-dos, and supporting your soon-to-be wife during your engagement season are all pretty self-explanatory steps in the wedding planning process. But have you thought through having a groom's day kit or writing a note to your fiance for her to read before the ceremony?

These small things can make a significant difference in how you feel on your wedding day!

What’s one meaningful detail you’re including in your wedding plans?

12/11/2024

By choosing a date outside the typical spring and summer months...

You can take advantage of discounted rates from venues and vendors, who often offer lower prices for fall, winter, or early spring weddings. Plus, you’ll have a better chance of securing your dream team of vendors, since their schedules are more open. More flexibility, more savings, and a more personalized experience😌

To me, there is no "perfect season" to get married because each one has its own advantages, allowing you to create the atmosphere that you want!

SPRING:
- Select flowers that are in season for cost-effective arrangements
- Consider a garden or park venue for a naturally beautiful backdrop
- Plan for potential rain with a backup option or provide umbrellas
- Incorporate pastel color palettes

SUMMER:
- Schedule your ceremony for the cooler parts of the day, like late afternoon
- Provide fans or shaded areas to keep guests comfortable
- Offer refreshing drinks, like iced teas or signature cocktails
- Choose bold, vibrant colors that pop in the sun

FALL:
- Utilize warm, earthy tones for décor and attire
- Consider incorporating seasonal foods, like pumpkin or apple dishes
- Choose a barn, vineyard, or indoor space for your venue
- Create cozy seating areas with blankets and cushions for guests

WINTER:
- Opt for indoor venues with fireplaces or warm lighting
- Use rich color palettes, like deep reds and greens, to create warmth
- Serve warm drinks, like mulled wine or hot cocoa
- Add seasonal décor, like pine branches or twinkling lights

What season do you envision for your wedding? 🌸☀️🍂❄️

This simple step can make a big difference👇🏽

If you miss playing through each ceremony song before your rehearsal, you may find yourself scrambling to get the flow and timing just right, and you might even end up changing certain songs because the flow just doesn't feel right. Here's how I suggest you go about this:

1. Listen to each song in the exact order they’ll be played to ensure the flow feels natural. You don’t want any abrupt or awkward transitions!

2. Check the timing to make sure each song fits perfectly with key moments like the processional, vows, or any other part of the ceremony.

3. Communicate with your DJ or musicians to adjust any timing or transitions so that everything lines up as planned.

This helps make sure the right mood is set, with no surprises or uncomfortable pauses on the big day. A smooth soundtrack makes for a smooth ceremony!

A piece of advice coming from a wedding planner:

When you're thinking through your tablescapes, choose a centerpiece that complements the theme and isn’t too tall, so guests can easily chat across the table 🌿

Last year, I got to check off a bucket list wedding destination: Petoskey. And having the wedding at the Perry Hotel was the cherry on top!

Save my formula for how to do this seamlessly:

🎵 Pick your favorite part of the song: Choose the most meaningful or upbeat section.

⏱ Aim for about 1.5 minutes: This keeps the moment special without feeling too long.

🎧 Communicate with your DJ: Let them know exactly where to start and stop the track.

Your dance, your way! Make it as memorable (and as comfortable) as you’d like.

IN. LOVE.

With these engagement photos and the way Lauren & Evan love each other. Every glance, every smile - they just glow!

I can’t wait to see their wedding day come together ✨

Use your full names for a formal touch
Mr. comes before Mrs. once married, but Miss goes before Mr. before the wedding
Spell out street names fully: Street, Avenue, Boulevard, etc.
For the return address, just use the last name instead of full names
Pick an address that’s easy to handle in case any invites get returned

📌 Save this for when it's your turn!

PRO TIP:

Have a designated person the day of your wedding to film iPhone videos so you can go back and watch your wedding day from behind the scenes in addition to the final result 🎞️

How cute are these cowgirl favors? 🤠 Hats and bandanas for the win!

Thinking back to this sweet birthday party, the favors REALLY stood out to me. They added the perfect touch to embrace the venue and made everyone feel welcomed and included. It's those little details that make a big difference!
