TFYP 05 | Stress vs. Celebration

Your wedding day is naturally a whirlwind due to the people, the schedule, the paparazzi (aka: your photographer and videographer teams), and the fact that you’re marrying the love of your life. This whirlwind can actually be fun and celebratory, or it can be stressful and busy. But there’s one major portion of your day that can either add to the stress or help create the celebratory environment, and most people don’t even realize it.

TFYP 04 | Plan for a Planner

The single most important aspect of your wedding day is the fact that you and the love of your life are promising your hearts and lives to one another for the rest of time. You should be able to enjoy and remember a day so important! Hiring a wedding planner will allow for exactly this.

If you’re busy making sure all the bridesmaids are dressed and your mother is keeping the flower girls from crying, you’ll miss the chance to live in the moment. With a wedding planner, you’ll be relaxing on your wedding day, not stressing out about the minor details that make a big difference.

We couldn’t have said it better.

TFYP 03 | Don’t Forget The Groom
