Tip 1:
Create a detailed timeline for your big day that includes when people should arrive, when flowers are set to arrive, when cake should be delivered, etc. Include exact times and locations. Share your finalized detailed timeline with everyone involved in your wedding. Don’t forget all SAP Soulmates will receive a detailed wedding day timeline from us, for you to edit and use.
Tip 2:
Don’t forget to pack snacks. Make your day better with having healthy snacks and lots of water on hands.
Tip 3:
Brake in your Wedding shoes. Practice walking around in your wedding day shoes to make sure there are entirely comfortable to stand around in during your portraits and your wedding ceremony.
Tip 4:
Pack a “wedding day emergency” kit and bring it with you on your big day. I’m glad I had this on my wedding day, my bridesmaid dress zipper stopped working. Essentials include clear nail polish for snags, makeup for touching up, travel sewing kit, pain reliever, band-aids, lozenges, tampons, and tissues.
Tip 5:
Ask for the lastest possible time for cake and flowers to arrive. Flowers wilt and cake can melt on hot Texas days. So to ensure both look great for your pictures, ceremony, and reception, ask for them to be delivered at the latest possible moment.
Tip 6:
“SPOT CHECKER” yes this is a fantastic person. Who can help out the bride with tangled trains, smeared lipstick, or hair placement? For example, this can be a bridesmaid, maid of honor, or mother of the bride.
Tip 7:
Makeup and Hair Trial Run. I can’t stress this enough. This is especially important for any bride with sensitive skin, since an allergic reaction on your wedding day is not how you want to remember your big day.
Tip 8:
Order at least 25 extra wedding invitations than you need. It’s better to have “just in case” extras.
Tip 9:
A week before your wedding, make sure everything is in place and ready to go by following up with all your vendors. This will provide plenty of time to fix any mistakes if any.
Tip 10:
Expect the Unexpected. For every wedding I have captured, something has always been wrong, and that is okay! We create a timeline with buffer time. Remember it’s your attitude and outlook that makes for a successful, brilliant day.
