Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful milestones of your life - a day filled with beauty, reverence, and joyful celebration. As your special day approaches, here are several time-honored tips to help you feel prepared and fully present from the first moment to the last dance.

1. Pack a Bridal Emergency Kit
Even the most prepared bride or groom may encounter a small hiccup. A well-stocked emergency kit including items such as safety pins, stain remover, extra bobby pins, breath mints, and tissues can be a lifesaver. Keep a kit in each dressing suite for easy access.

2. Don’t Forget to Eat
With so much going on, it’s easy to forget to eat. Be sure to have light, nourishing snacks and plenty of water available in the getting-ready suites. Staying hydrated and fueled will help you feel your best throughout the day.

3. Designate a Point Person
Assign a trusted friend or family member to serve as your go-to person for the day. Your wedding coordinator will answer vendor questions, handle minor issues, and keep things on track, but it's helpful to have a person for them to go to if any decisions are needed.

At Bowing Oaks, we believe your wedding day should be joyful, peaceful, and truly meaningful. With the right planning and support, you can relax and savor every moment.

Whether you're saying "I do" beneath our majestic oak canopy or under our covered ceremony pavilion, incorporating time-honored elements like a live string quartet or special family traditions add a sense of heartfelt meaning to your ceremony.

➡️ Floral Arrangements That Feel Forever Romantic
Classic florals like white roses, hydrangeas, and soft greenery pair beautifully with the rustic-yet-refined setting of Bowing Oaks. A simple greenery arch or timeless bouquet creates a look that will be just as stunning in your anniversary albums as it is on your wedding day.

There’s something timeless about the bond between a father and daughter, and on a wedding day, that connection takes center stage in the most tender, heartfelt ways. From a quiet first look to the emotional walk down the aisle, these shared moments are more than tradition - they are memories that linger long after the last dance. At Bowing Oaks, we’re honored to witness these powerful exchanges, framed by the beauty and stillness of our surroundings.

Weddings aren’t just about two people joining their lives; they are about the love that brought them to this day. We believe in creating space for every meaningful moment, especially the ones that happen quietly, between a bride and the first man who loved her. Let Bowing Oaks be the setting where your most treasured memories unfold.
