Planning & Advice

Don’t let planning pitfalls get in the way of your big day. Here’s how to stay stress-free and on track. Planning a wedding is incredibly exciting – but with so many details to think about, it’s easy to make a few missteps along the way. The good news? Most common mistakes are totally avoidable once you know what to look out for. From budgeting blunders to invitation timing, here are the top wedding planning mistakes couples make (and how to dodge them like a pro).

Your wedding day will be filled with countless beautiful moments — but in the blink of an eye, it will fly by. That’s where photography comes in: preserving your memories forever. As a wedding photographer, I often get asked: “Which photos are absolutely essential?”

Let’s be real for a sec: the only bad part of a wedding (other than maybe someone grabbing the mic for an unsolicited speech) is when you’re stuck in an awkward limbo with no drink, no food, and no clue what’s happening next. As a former wedding coordinator and full-time guest-experience enthusiast, I’m here to make sure that never happens on your Big Day.

… it’s simpler (and cheaper) than you think!

You’ll have spent months, maybe years, planning and crafting your wedding day thinking about the ceremony, walking up the aisle and dancing the night away. However, not many couples remember that the morning part of your day is just as important. You will make memories to last a lifetime during the process of getting ready to say your vows. 

If you’re recently engaged, congratulations! Once the excitement settles in, you’ll start thinking about how to keep your guests in the loop – starting with stationery. When it comes to save the dates VS invitations, what’s the difference?

Once you’ve selected your wedding venue, your next task is to consider how you can bring everything together beautifully. This is where wedding table shapes come in!
