More Wedding Tips From Us

Wedding Planners & Coordinators

A planner or on-the-day coordinator can be incredibly helpful, especially with the small details you might not think of, like umbrellas, transport, or making sure there are enough drinks. If it fits within your budget, having someone dedicated to overseeing the day allows you to relax and stay present.

Guest List

Invite the people who are actively part of your life. Those distant high school friends you haven’t spoken to in years will understand. Weddings add up quickly, so focus on the people who will still be checking in on you six months from now.

Vendors

Remember to think about all your vendors or appoint someone who will. Your stylist, DJ, and other suppliers appreciate a bottle of water or a small snack just as much as anyone else. Include everyone involved when planning food and drinks. Happy vendors often go the extra mile, everyone is human after all.

Marriage Officiant

Choose an officiant who knows you well and understands the tone you want for your ceremony. It’s important they stick to the agreed timing. We’ve seen ceremonies run far longer than planned, which can cause guests to lose focus and leave very little time for photos sometimes with only minutes of daylight left. Gentle reminders go a long way.

Wedding Cake

There’s no right or wrong choice. Some couples love a traditional wedding cake, while others opt for cupcakes, doughnuts, or even a champagne tower. Choose what feels like you.

Wedding Favours

Favours can double as table décor, something fun to keep guests busy, a take-home gift at the end of the night, or a small accessory that ties into your theme. Keep it meaningful rather than obligatory, it doesn't have to cost thousands extra, sometimes even a handwritten note goes a long way.

Wedding Day Transport

If we’ll be moving around for bridal party or couple photos, plan ahead for transport. It often works best if you and your partner travel together, while the bridal party uses separate vehicles, this allows them to return to guests while we finish your couple shoot.

Emergency Kit

An emergency kit is always a good idea. Consider including:

• Stain-removing wipes

• Wet wipes

• Lint roller

• Safety pins

• Sewing kit

• Tissues

• Cable ties

• Nail glue

• Baby powder (great for reducing static and perspiration)

• Makeup blender

• Dry shampoo

• Hair clips

• Extra makeup

• Tweezers

• Feminine products

Accommodation

If your venue isn’t centrally located or guests are travelling far, including accommodation options on your invitations is a thoughtful touch. Many venues offer on-site lodging, which works beautifully for weekend weddings.

Bridal Suite & Getting Ready Spaces

Think about where you’ll be getting ready. Do you love clean, light-filled spaces or moody rooms with character? We adapt to any environment, but if you’re dreaming of bright, airy portraits, stone walls or dark rooms may not give that look.

Also consider space: is the room large enough for your bridal party, does it have good natural light, and is there space to move comfortably? The same applies to where the groom gets ready.

Ask your bridal party to keep the area tidy, or designate a “dirty corner” for bags and clutter, this saves time and helps keep photos clean and calm.

Be Prepared (and Breathe)

Not everything will go exactly according to plan and that’s okay. We’ll help guide you through the day. What matters most is that you’re marrying your person.

Your wedding day is special, but you and your partner are the main characters in this story. At the end of it all, that’s what truly matters 🤍
