BRIDES: Advice from a wedding planner— after working over 200 weddings, I’ve seen it all.
Here are 10 things I would absolutely skip if I were planning a wedding:
1. Ceremony programs — most people don’t read them, and they blow away in the wind.
2. Too many DIY signs — they add clutter, not charm.
3. Chair covers — expensive, time-consuming, and almost always unnecessary.
4. A long photo shot list — trust your photographer to capture the magic naturally.
5. Skip the garter removal it usually makes people feel uncomfortable.
6. Personalized cocktail napkins — no one remembers them.
7. Unassigned seating — sounds easy, becomes chaos.
8. Too-tight timelines — no breathing room = stressed couple and rushed photos.
9. Table numbers with zero order — guests wandering confused? Not ideal.
10. That one extra decor rental you don’t actually need — save your money for what matters.
Wedding days feel so much better when you skip the fluff and focus on what you’ll actually remember.

One thing you should not skip is booking your wedding officiate in advance, don't wait till the last minute. Make sure you get a photo with your officiate it will be a great memory.

This was a true western themed wedding in a barn. This was one of my favorite weddings a few years ago to officiate. Next weekend I have another western themed wedding at Madison Wedding Barn.

I have performed several weddings at this venue. It has everything that you need for your special day. The staff is chill and easy to work with and I think it is also affordable compared to other venues. Weddings by Pastor Pat Avery.

It was a beautiful day in Florida for a wedding. Congratulations Timothy and Alexandria. This was a beautiful wedding with all the right elements. Simple but sweet, laughter and tears, vows of commitment, a large group of family and friends. I did not post a picture of the wedding party, but the bridesmaids were beautiful the groomsmen were handsome.

It was my honor to officiate the wedding of this cool couple Bryson and Sami. It was a beautiful afternoon and I loved the theme of their wedding, “Till death do us part.”
