Spoiler Alert: Your Wedding Should Feel FUN!
I’ve seen it too many times—couples spending months planning their dream wedding, only to feel stressed, rushed, or overwhelmed when the day finally arrives. 😩
But guess what? Your wedding day should be the most joyful, relaxed, and love-filled day of your life. And I’m here to help make that happen!
Here’s how to actually enjoy your wedding day (instead of feeling like it flies by in a stressful blur!).
Build a Timeline with Breathing Room
Biggest mistake couples make? Packing the day too tight.
Instead, add buffer time between key events (getting ready, first look, family photos, etc.).
A little extra time = less stress, more fun!
💡 Pro Tip: Your wedding photographer (hi!) can help you create a realistic timeline that keeps things smooth & relaxed!
Have an Emergency Kit (Trust Me on This One!)
You hope nothing goes wrong, but if it does? You’ll be SO glad you have:
Mini sewing kit (for surprise dress/tux fixes!)
Blotting papers & powder (for shine-free photos!)
Snacks (because nobody wants to be hangry on their wedding day!)
💡 Pro Tip: Assign a bridesmaid or groomsman as the “Emergency Kit Keeper” so you don’t have to think about it.
Plan for Real, Unfiltered Moments (Not Just “Perfect” Ones)
The best wedding photos? The ones where you’re truly in the moment.
Dance wildly with your friends.
Laugh when things don’t go as planned.
Steal a quiet moment alone after the ceremony.
💡 Pro Tip: Give your photographer permission to capture the in-between moments—not just the posed ones!
Actually Eat & Hydrate! (Yes, Really!)
You’d be shocked how many couples forget to eat on their wedding day.
Have someone bring you a plate during cocktail hour.
Keep a water bottle nearby (hydration = happy couple!)
Sneak in a private dinner together before rejoining the party!
💡 Pro Tip: Ask your caterer to pack a to-go box of your wedding meal so you can enjoy it later (you’ll thank yourself at midnight!).
Delegate, Delegate, Delegate!
This is NOT the day to be running around handling last-minute details. Let your people help!
Give key tasks to your wedding party or planner.
Designate a “Point Person” so you’re not the one answering questions.
Let go & trust your vendors! (We got you!)
💡 Pro Tip: If something goes “wrong” (a little rain, a minor delay), don’t stress! Focus on the big picture—you’re getting MARRIED! 🎉
Final Thoughts: Your Wedding Is About JOY, Not Perfection
At the end of the day, your wedding isn’t about the details—it’s about the love, the laughter, and the memories you create.
