Hello June! We are officially in wedding season and could not be more excited! Many of you are just about ready to walk down the aisle. Your head must be spinning with every gorgeous detail of your upcoming wedding. To make sure nothing slips through those perfectly manicured fingers, we’ve put together a list of last minute tips to help put your mind at ease...
MAKE SURE EVERY VENDOR HAS A SCHEDULE OF WHEN TO ARRIVE AND WHERE TO BE
If you teamed up with a wedding planner, we are positive she already has this covered! But, your day-of coordinator may need a little help. By supplying everyone with a schedule, you ensure the cake is there on time, the DJ will be set up and the florist knows every location for every arrangement.
ASSIGN SOMEONE TO GIVE THE VENDORS THEIR TIPS
This is crucial! Write a few checks ahead of time and leave them in thank you notes for each and every vendor arriving at your celebration. Your maid of honor or wedding planner can distribute them and witness those ear-to-ear smiles on your behalf.
SLIP A PAIR OF FOLDABLE FLATS INTO YOUR WEDDING DAY CLUTCH
We know you looked at every wedding shoe trend (including our favorites in this post!) before picking the perfect pair. But even the most beloved heels can start to be a little uncomfortable. When those shoes are a bit too much, you’ll be happy you have a comfortable and stylish pair of flats tucked away.
PRINT YOUR BOARDING PASSES THE NIGHT BEFORE
This is likely something you do for every trip but during the wedding weekend, you may find you don't have a spare second until you arrive at the airport. By the time you go though that sparkler-lined grand exit, you’ll be ready to jet off to that incredible honeymoon and start your lives as a married couple. (We know your capsule wardrobe is already packed!). Have your travel details prepped and ready for take off the night before.
BE READY EXTRA-EARLY FOR SUNRISE-LIT SHOTS ON YOUR WEDDING DAY
Your photographer knows that there’s no better way to show your beauty than natural sunlight and there’s no time to waste! Make sure you and your bridal party stay on schedule so there are enough opportunities to get your favorite shots.
Now, for the very most important tip…
Enjoy! That means snap as many selfies as you like, actually eat dinner and spend time with as many people as possible.
Happy Wedding Season!

White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown. Select this lovely little link to read an in-depth article featured in Brides that highlights the history of Queen Victoria’s choice to wear a white wedding dress.
Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
