Top 10 Things To Keep In Mind For Your Wedding

Thank you for reading this post, I look forward to hearing from you soon!  :-)

Planning a wedding can feel like juggling candles in a windstorm—beautiful, thrilling, and just a touch chaotic. But fear not! Whether you’re months out or in the final countdown, here are the top 10 things every bride should keep in mind for a celebration that’s as magical as your love story.

1. Your Day, Your Way

Forget the pressure to please everyone. This is your wedding, and it should reflect your love, style, and story. From the music to the menu, choose what feels authentic to you.

2. Hire Vendors You Actually Like

You’ll be spending a lot of time with your vendors—especially your DJ. Choose people who make you feel heard, inspired, and at ease. Trust goes a long way when the big day arrives.

3. Start with the Vibe

Before booking anything, think about the feeling you want your day to have—romantic, modern, lively, intimate, elegant? That vibe will shape everything from your décor to your soundtrack.

4. Create a Realistic Timeline

Give yourself wiggle room. Hair and makeup can run over. Uncle Bob will give a surprise toast. Building a flexible timeline helps avoid stress and keeps everything running smoothly.

5. Don’t Skip the Music Planning

Music sets the mood—from the walk down the aisle to the last dance. A great DJ doesn’t just hit play—they read the crowd, keep things flowing, and create unforgettable moments.

6. Weather Happens—Have a Plan B

If you’re planning an outdoor ceremony or reception, a backup plan is your best friend. You’ll thank yourself when the rain turns into romance under a canopy of string lights.

7. Focus on What Matters Most

The flowers, the cake, the signature cocktails—they’re all amazing. But nothing matters more than marrying your person. Don’t lose sight of that in the Pinterest tornado.

8. Feed Your Vendors

A fed team is a happy team. Including vendor meals in your plan keeps everyone energized and performing their best—especially the DJ keeping your dance floor on fire.

9. Unplug—At Least a Little

Consider having an unplugged ceremony. Let your guests be fully present while your photographer captures the magic. There’s beauty in real eye contact and laughter not filtered through a screen.

10. Soak It All In

The day flies by faster than you’d believe. Pause. Breathe. Look around. Lock in those moments. It’s the little things—the way your partner looks at you, the cheers of your friends, the first beat that drops—that you’ll remember forever.
