Wedding Day Advice from a Wedding Planner
1. First Look
One of the sweetest moments of your wedding day, a first look may also be the only quiet moment you share alone together. Take it all in and enjoy what the day is truly about starting your new life together.

2. Photos
Don’t skip the photos that matter most to you. When the day is over, your photos will be what you cherish forever. Your planner or coordinator should build your timeline around your photo priorities to ensure you have enough time throughout the day.

3. Personalization
Make your wedding a reflection of you. Incorporate your favorite colors, flowers, music, and meaningful details. From monograms and pet photos to hobby-inspired guest books or seating signs—bring it all in and make it yours.

4. Signature Drinks or Late-Night Bites
Enhance the guest experience with a “his and hers” signature drink during cocktail hour, complete with a fun name or sign. A late-night snack is another great way to treat your guests—many couples choose this in place of traditional favors.
