No Regrets: 5 Things Couples Wish They'd Done on Their Wedding Day
Your wedding day will be one of the most magical days of your life, but it also goes by in a flash. After months, or even years, of meticulous planning, the day itself is a whirlwind of emotions, moments, and celebrations. In our experience as wedding planners, we often hear from couples after the fact about the little things they wish they had done differently. The good news? With a little foresight and planning, these common wedding day regrets are entirely avoidable.
We want you to end your wedding night with nothing but happy memories, free from any "should have" or "wish we had" thoughts. To help you do just that, we’re sharing five key things to prioritize to ensure your day is as perfect in reality as it is in your dreams.
Ten Common Wedding Misconceptions
The entire wedding industry is surrounded by myths, half-truths, and misconceptions. While planning a wedding you have a ton of important decisions to make and plenty of people offering unsolicited advice. We’re going to debunk ten common misconceptions about wedding planning everyone thinks are true.
Vendor Communication 101
With restrictions easing and wedding season on the horizon, email volume is increasing significantly for all wedding vendors, (CUE that flooded inbox)! One of the (many) advantages of a wedding planner is their ability to coordinate all vendor communications on behalf of a client and build a detailed itinerary based on all prior correspondence. If I am not emailing a vendor directly, I always ask my clients to cc me on messages to ensure I am looped into the latest updates. I find every vendor has a very different communication style and some don’t respond regularly which can create much stress for couples when they are not working with a wedding planner. If you are taking on most of the vendor communications on your own, I’ve assembled a list of recommendations as you detail your wedding day plans this season.
