September recap 🤍

The warm, summer start slowly transitioned to a cool, dreamy fall. We stayed busy this month, and the last stretch of the season is officially in full swing!

September brought so many beautiful celebrations and unforgettable moments with our couples. It’s been such a joy to be part of these special days!

Here’s to crisp evenings, changing leaves, and all the love that September brought with it! 🍂

Why hire a wedding planner or day of coordinator? What exactly do you do on wedding day? Is having a wedding planner or coordinator necessary?

Here’s just a glimpse of what I’ll be doing behind the scenes while you’re celebrating your love:

✨ make wedding day layouts and floor plans
✨ keep your timeline on track
✨ coordinate with and greet your vendors
✨ make sure everything is set up & ready
✨ direct speeches, dances, entrances, & more
✨ handle last minute changes & hiccups
✨ keep the bridal party & family where they need to be
✨ answers all the questions so YOU don’t have to
✨ make sure vendors follow all setup & teardown procedures

Think of me as the person and the team behind the scenes making sure everything YOU dreamed about actually happens, without having to manage it yourself!

Having me and my team on your wedding day can make all the difference🤍

Ceremony Details & Tips That Matter Most🤍

✨ Take Your Time ✨
Walk slower than you think is necessary down the aisle. Soak up those moments, take in all your guests, and meet the eyes of your forever person at the end of the aisle.

✨ Practice Makes Perfect ✨
Your wedding planner (that’s me) will make sure everyone knows where to be and what to do at your ceremony rehearsal. I’ll be the one coaching you to walk slow, smile, keep a slight bend in your knees, empty your pockets, and make sure someone has the rings!

✨ Officiant Steps Aside ✨
Make sure your officiant knows to step to the side for your first kiss as husband & wife. This is THE shot, and no photographer wants to spend hours editing people or things out of the background!

✨ Bouquet Etiquette ✨
Bridesmaid bouquets should be at belly button height, and facing the correct way (yes, there’s usually a front and a back). Make sure your planner has also made it clear who’s holding the bride’s flowers during the ceremony, and practiced the pass off before and after!

✨ Aisle Kiss ✨
Do the aisle kiss!!! Take a dip & soak up one more celebratory moment & photo op as the new Mr. And Mrs. These make for some of the sweetest photos, and it’s such a fun moment to let your guests cheer you on one more time down the aisle!

Invest in someone who takes all of this and more into consideration! You don’t want to be stressed or anxious about the fine details on your wedding day - let the professionals handle that! 💐

Such an incredible look at these beautiful details, but adding just a little more character. A few of my favorites from the day:

✨ the disco ball, because you can never go wrong with the immaculate vibes for the dance floor! quickly becoming a fun trend!

✨ could not ask for a more stunning bride, dress, veil, or intricate accessory choice! detail photos are always one of my favorites!!

✨ this dance floor!! along with an incredible DJ, kept guests moving & grooving all night long & made the late night photos even more fun!

✨ such full & beautifully crafted floral pieces, tying every detail together for a perfect pop of color!
