Liz & Trevor were very intentional about their table decor and place settings. In order to continue their woodsy venue & theme, they included natural elements such as loose greenery, rocks from the North Shore, and wrote personalized notes for each guest to find at their seat. They wanted to stay connected to nature and sustainable through the use of reusable or compostable drinkware and tableware as well, which all tied into a beautiful, eco-friendly celebration!

As a planner, I love to encourage my couples to choose sustainable products and vendors. Let's chat about all the ways we can be better for the earth when planning our events and weddings!

On a chilly, snowy day like today, my mind wanders back to the romance of those warm summer sunsets. ☀️

A few ways you can slow down amid the hustle and excitement on your wedding day:
- take a walk just the two of you
- sneak away for sunset photos with your photographer
- grab a cocktail and find a quiet place to sit together
- take a refresh right before or after your ceremony
- wait a couple of minutes together after your guests find their seats before you join the party
- private pre-ceremony dance
- first look photos
- stop where you are and look around, taking in the details and smiles
- talk to each other about the day during dinner
- ask your caterer for your two plates to eat quietly during cocktail hour (then greet your guests during their dinner)
- grab your phones and take your own photos of each other

There were so many amazing vendors that came together to make Liz & Trevor's wedding day amazing, but I think the llamas took the 🎂. Thank you to Carlson's Llovable Llamas for sharing the love!

Want to include animals in your wedding?? Let's do it!!
(As with any non-traditional idea/vendor, be sure to check with your venue first!)

I genuinely love the couples I work with and am so honored to be a part of their best day ever! ❤️

Your wedding day will fly by.
Be sure to step away with your new spouse, just you two, to be in the moment together. Take in the joy, the love, and that "holy crap, we're married!" feeling, appreciating all of your hard work coming together in celebration of you two.
Then get back to partying!

Get with the program!

Some venues and wedding day timelines are more complicated than others and it may be helpful for guests to have something to reference throughout the day. There are so many awesome resources for creating wedding programs these days, plus your photographer will appreciate having another item to use in their detail shots 😉
Ask me about some fun ideas for keeping your guests informed of your wedding day plans!

You want to be comfortable on your wedding day, so plan accordingly when shopping for your attire. Think about what the weather will be like during the season in which you're getting married. Will you be comfortable in a heavy, multi-layered gown or long sleeve button-up with a thick suit jacket? Or would a lighter option be better?

I can help with suggestions for how to get the look you're dreaming of without sacrificing comfort! Let's chat!
