Picking great vendors for your wedding day makes all the difference! They are your powerhouse team making sure that your dream wedding day happens. Tipping your vendors is always MUCH appreciated. We often don’t expect it but we always appreciate it. I know that your wedding budget is important and sometimes it doesn’t allow for generous tips in the end. If that’s you, don’t sweat it! I have three tips for any couple to implement after their wedding day!

Invitations are the first taste of your wedding that a guest receives. It sets the tone for the wedding day and invites (obviously) your favorite people to join in on the celebration. I often get questions about where to order, when to send, and when to receive RSVP's. Here’s everything you need to know about the wedding invitation timeline!

There are lots of things that go into coordinating a wedding day. I create a timeline for the day, communciate with vendors, set up and clean up, line up the bridal party for the processional, and so much more. All of those things are very essential to having a smooth wedding day, but let’s talk about the things a Wedding Coordinator does that you might not know about.

When my husband, David, and I were dating in college at UNC Charlotte, we would escape to Boone to visit my family on the weekends. I would turn off my phone for the whole weekend and we would just focus on being together. Sometimes we’d find ourselves huddled up in a coffee shop studying for our exams for hours and sometimes we’d drop all responsibilities and enjoy our favorite local spots. We both remember Boone being this oasis for us as we navigated through the angst of dating in college.

Food is one of the central parts of a wedding. Couples want guests to enjoy a delicious meal and believe me, guests want to enjoy a delicious meal, too! I’d be willing to bet that what no one wants is to have hundreds of dollars worth of food scraped into a trash can at the end of the night.

From a very early age, my parents told me to find something I love to do and then find a way to get paid for it. Their advice and creative encourgement is what led me to a love for wedding and event planning.
