Happy Tip *Thursday*!! Times are crazy, days run together.. so what if Tuesday got postponed this week 🤷🏼‍♀️ it’ll be okay party people! So lets talk TIPS TO SAVE $$!!

This week is piggy backing onto last week with the lovely topic of saving trees...menu’s. *don’t shoot the opinionated messenger* When you sit down at a wedding and look down at your plate with a napkin all ready for a yummy dinner...are you going to gasp if theres not a paper menu in front of you?? NO. Lets be honest, if its a plated dinner Sally sent in if she wanted chicken or fish a month ago (not your fault she forgot). What about if its a buffet?! Well they will figure it out as they stand up there with that plate (OR have a sign as you go up there!). If you are looking for ways to save a few dollars ladies and gents you don’t HAVE to have a paper menu in front of the guests, it adds up, kills trees and will just get thrown away at the end of the night. Sure it looks so nice on the table but if you have to cut something from the budget a menu isnnot a huge show stopper. Save your $$ and spend it on something fun...like a photo booth!

Happy Tip Tuesday!!! Mini Series #2 ... lets save ya some money!

Let’s talk PROGRAMS. Yes those little pretty pieces of paper that are fancy and look cute for pictures but are the necessary? No. You probably print them for 75 cents each but lets face it... that adds up!!! Girl trust me no one will care that you don’t have programs (unless you have a smack dab in the middle of summer outdoor wedding and grandma needs a fan). So what can you do instead? A cute sign at the beginning of the isle or at the front door of the venue! Window pane, picture on an easel or chalk board are all cute and inexpensive alternatives! All in all, programs cute? Yes. Necessary? No. So save your money!! (And spend it on an amazing coordinator 😉). DM if you have any questions or need help planning something for your program alternative!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!

Wedding season is in full swing (COVID step aside). On this Wedding Wednesday spotlight I wanted to share a hidden gem of a venue in Wilmington!

We went by to make final decisions for a wedding coming up at and I snapped a few photos of their remodeled space!! Check out this bridal suite!! Perfect for getting ready, barn doors for your big reveal and of course sealed and closed off so no one can catch a sneak peak at the bride :) If you are in the Wilmington area for sure check out !!

Its Tuesday!!

Hope all my wedding babes had a great weekend! Blue Knot had a Sunday wedding that brought yet another tip Tuesday ... Rain.

Ive talked about rain plans before but we always have gotten lucky. Well we finally had a rainy wedding. So outdoor brides lets hope for sunny days but also ALWAYS have a rain plan!! This bride and groom moved their river front wedding onto the BEAUTIFUL porch of the venue and it was still as gorgeous as ever! 😍

Happy Tuesday Ladies and Gentlemen!

Let’s talk about a tip that most people already do but maybe don’t use it after the fact... Hashtags!!

Hashtags are super fun and cute to put on an adorable little sign at the front of their venue. Well it is a huge tip I say to have one! While you are enjoying your special (yet busy) wedding day and dancing the night away, people are taking candids and pictures of you in your bridal gown that you may not even know of! Well when they use that little # sign that give you the ability to go back to instagram, type in your hashtag and see all of those wonderful moments captured!!

Now most brides and grooms already do this so y’all keep doing your thing! If you don’t have a hashtag already, think of something punny and let Blue Knot put it on a chalk board or window pane so you can see all those pictures after your big day is over. ❤️
