Today in the Tips for Brides series, I’m compiling a few pieces of wedding planning advice from my amazing brides! I love their different insights and experiences (one couple got married in the midst of a hurricane!) and how helpful it is to newly engaged couples. Read below for all the advice and click here to join my email list for wedding planning resources, tips and upcoming announcements delivered right to your inbox!
Kate, Wren Chapel Wedding and Yorktown Freight Shed Reception
“I would tell a new bride that you just need to take your time. It is probably the first big task you and your groom will do as a couple, so work together and enjoy it.”
Jess, Virginia Arts Festival Wedding
“I think my biggest piece of advice would be not to stress out. I told myself that if I ever stressed I needed to take a moment and breathe. Planning your wedding is supposed to be a time of enjoyment and if you don’t let yourself enjoy it, you won’t have fun throughout the process and on your special day. The piece of advice really helped especially since our wedding was in the middle of the hurricane. “
“I would encourage any bride to consult a coordinator. Even if it’s just a “day of” coordinator, I would definitely recommend it. There were things that I, nor my family, could take care of on the days leading up to our wedding and on the day of our wedding. She made sure that all of my thoughts came to fruition on our special day; my visions were her reality! From wrangling vendors to making sure flowers were on their proper tables; Denise Kelly was a Godsend. I can’t say enough about Denise… GO DENISE!!”
