3 Tip for Staying Sane on Your Wedding Day

Calm vibes only.

Wedding days are a magical whirl wind of love, joy, maybe a little stress, dancing and smooching.

For many this is the biggest and/or more important intimate celebration you will ever plan. That is why I am ALWAYS committed to making your day as stress free as possible. I am so honored to have been invited to celebrate with so many couples celebrating their love and partnership.

So today I am psyched to share my top 3 ways to stay sane on your wedding day, based on what I have observed!

| 1. structure |

| 2. flexibility |

| 3. delegate |

1. Structure

even if you are the most go with the flow person, everyone needs guidance, your vendors need to know when to be places as does your wedding party

-timeline of the day for both partners - you can find a customizable one when you subscribe here!

-share timeline with wedding party, planners, important people in day - less questions heading your way

-set clear expectations around your timeline - is this a loose plan, do you absolutely want to stick to it, are there certain non-negotiable items?

-surround yourself with people who are ready to support the vision you have for your day, even if that means hiring a planner.

-have a plan for the little important things in your day, from where your chapstick will live to who has your back up deodorant on hand, and who will communicate with your vendors - venue/bus company/florist/planner - if needed.

2. flexibility

this may seem confusing given point 1, but really both are needed for a perfect balance, things happen that are out of our control

-be ok if things are a little behind - you will catch up, or not, as long as you get married that’s what counts, everything else can get sorted, the ceremony won’t happen without you

-you may need to make adjustments as you go - rain plan, change photo locations, stand in flower girl, back up shoes

-know what your non negotiable are, it’s ok to be firm on certain things, and flex on others

-things happen, do as much prep for your day ahead of time and be ready to make adjustments

3.delegate

you worked your butt off for your wedding day, it is ok to assign some tasks to others so you can be worry free

-ask your bffs, family, vendors to help where appropriate, we are all here to support you!

-choose people you trust/know you can depend on when delegating - you may love em, but if you know your BFF4L will be drunk by 2pm maybe they’re not the best one to give you cell phone to

-back to that timeline, make sure to share it with everyone, and expect they will be where they are supposed to be

-ask for help on the spot, when you need it, it’s your day

**all of these are suggestions, and you know yourself best** you can take these to what ever extreme you need to, to relax on your wedding day
