What common mistakes do you see couples making?
Planning a wedding can be stressful! while making sure everything is perfect for the big day, I often see couples get lost in the wedding shuffle. They become consumed with making the day perfect for everyone, but often lose focus of what they want for their big day! With opinions coming at you from social media, moms, grandmas, your girlfriend, and so many others, it is important to remember why you are planning this wedding in the first place. This day is to celebrate your love as a couple! Remember that, when things get overwhelming, those moments will remind you to focus on how you want your day to be.
What’s the best tip you have for a couple planning a wedding?
Ask questions! More than likely, you will only get married once! So, your wedding planning expertise may be limited. Ask your vendors questions! Let them walk you through the process of wedding planning! Lean on their expertise! They are in the business to serve you. If you’re not getting the answers you’re looking for, ask around!

What questions should couples be asking that they don’t know to ask?
Oftentimes, I think that we all have questions about a service or process that we are unsure of. We may even be scared to look a little silly in front of professionals. If you’re unsure or curious about something, reach out to your vendors! I’m positive they would love to explain their processes and help you understand their service! There is nothing wrong with questions! It helps streamline communication and allows everyone to be on the same page come wedding day.
What your best piece of advice for couples planning a wedding?
Carve out a time for just the two of you! There are so many things that go into planning a wedding. From the planning itself and all of its appointments to bridal showers and events leading to the big day, you may start feeling distant. Be sure to carve out time for each other! Plan a special date after engagement pictures! Take a break from the planning and enjoy a movie or tv show together. Go on walks, talk about how you all are doing with the process! Plan time into your wedding day just for the two of you to escape! Enjoy this beautiful time of your lives!!
