Bridal BFF Bootcamp: How to Be the Ultimate Hype Squad ✨👗

Listen up, bridal party! You’re not just here to look cute in matching outfits—you’re the bride’s ride-or-die crew. Here’s how to earn your MVP status:
🛠 Be a walking toolbox. Bobby pins, safety pins, pain relievers—you’re a wedding day MacGyver.

💬 Honest, but not savage. “That dress isn’t my fave” > “You look like a sad Victorian ghost.”

🥤 Hydration + snacks = survival. Keep the bride fed, watered, and not hangry. Bonus points for emergency coffee runs.

🎉 Vibes only. No drama, no stress, just all the love and dance floor domination.

Tag your fellow bridesmaids and give them a virtual high-five! 🙌💖

Wedding Truth: Pinterest is Inspiration, Not Expectation

We love a good Pinterest board, but let’s be real—some of those setups cost more than a down payment on a house. 🏡💰

Instead of copying a photo exactly, I help you use it as inspiration and find ways to bring that vibe to life in a way that works for your budget. ✨

Save this post as a reminder: Your wedding will be beautiful because it’s YOURS. 💕

Wedding Truth: You don’t have to toss a bouquet. You can eat pizza in your wedding dress. And if traditions don’t spark joy? ✨ Yeet them into the sunset. ✨

Your wedding should feel like you—not a rulebook. So ditch the pressure and plan a day that’s as magical, fun, and unapologetically yours as your love story! 💖

Drop an “AMEN” in the comments if you’re here for breaking the rules! 👇

💖✨ Happy Valentine’s Day, Lovebirds! ✨💖

Today is all about love in all its magical forms—the butterflies, the inside jokes, the quiet moments, and the grand gestures. 💕 Whether you're celebrating with your forever person, your besties, or a heart-shaped box of chocolates (zero judgment 🍫), love always deserves to be celebrated!

To all our past, present, and future couples—your love stories inspire us every day. 💍✨ Drop a 💕 in the comments if you're feeling the love today!

Apparently, it's Super Bowl Sunday 😜 🏈✨

Imagine this: Instead of the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Philadelphia Eagles, we have Team Planners vs. Team Procrastinators. One side has timelines, checklists, and booked vendors, while the other...well, let’s just say they’re hoping for a Hail Mary with last-minute RSVPs. 🫣

And don’t even get us started on Super Bowl snacks vs. wedding hors d’oeuvres. A seven-layer dip is great, but have you tried mini Caprese skewers?

No matter who you’re rooting for today, just remember—at Wand and Bash, we’re always playing for Team Stress-Free Weddings! 💖✨🏆

Spoiler alert: No wedding is truly perfect. There might be a timeline delay, a missing boutonniere, or a flower girl who refuses to walk down the aisle.

But guess what? You’re still getting MARRIED, and that’s what matters. 💍✨

With the right planner (hi, that’s me! 👋), you won’t even notice the hiccups. Just enjoy your day, and let the magic unfold!
