“Don’t Get Too Caught Up In The Details. Take a step back and remember what is important—you are marrying the love of your life! The dresses, cake, flowers, food, and drinks will have no bearing on the success of your marriage, so don’t sweat it and always focus on keeping a realistic perspective.”

-Kelly + Matthew

“Some things may not go exactly as planned but the most important thing is that you are marrying the one you love. At the end of the day, that is all that matters.”

“Stop to Feel the LOVE!
Make sure you take a moment to look around and just take it all in. The day goes by so quickly, but it’s such an incredible blessing to have the most important people to you gathered in one place to show you love and support. So many moments throughout our wedding day our hearts were so full of love we thought they would burst! That’s what it’s all about.”

Tiffany and Jordan

“Soak in the day. Every piece of it. Feel the gravity of the celebration that is about to take place on earth and in heaven as the two of you join to become one soul! It is a priceless feeling and a once in a lifetime kind of joy. The day will fly by, so try to press in to every moment and memorize the blessings of that day. Marriage really does get better with time, but it won’t always be the fairy tail it is on your wedding day. So capture the memories of the steadfast love and unwavering vows you made that day and it will carry you through even the hardest of times.  It truly is a gift to be enjoyed in full!”
Stewart + Lindsay

“If at all possible,  hire a wedding planner.  It will help you enjoy the experience. Our planner did a fantastic job of getting to know our tastes and narrowing down every decision to just a couple of options.  This made our lives so much easier and made the whole process much more fun.  And, more importantly, I enjoyed every minute of the day without stress.”
-Holly + Griffin

“Create a schedule. We created a schedule for all members of the bridal party and families for the wedding weekend. On that schedule we included a phone directory with everyone’s phone number that was involved. This made everything go smooth and allowed me to not worry about everyone getting where they needed to be on time. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat!!!”

Matthew + Bethany

“Choose a photographer that you connect with personally — they spend all day with you! ”
-Catherine + Lance

“Think about seeing each other before the wedding.
The most special moment of the day was my first look with Ian. It was so sweet to have a few moments alone before the events of the day began, and seeing him made all of my nervous energy melt away.  We spent a lot of time trying to decide between having a first look before the ceremony or waiting to see each other for the first time as I walked down the aisle. I am so happy we chose to steal a moment together to reflect on the importance of the day.”
Allison + Ian

“In life, you need creativity and love to be happy. Most people have creative outlets through their jobs and love through their marriage. When one is out of balance, the other suffers. Communication in both is key.”  quoted from Father John
