 When planning the perfect wedding, a memorable experience for your guests is a top priority. By no means are we saying people please and create a wedding about other people; however, we are saying that your wedding can be both unique for you and memorable for your guests. Every detail, from the personalized website to the food selections, will leave an impression on your guests. Here are some tips on how to create a truly memorable wedding experience.
Personalize Your Website and Share Your Favorite Things to Do: Creating a personalized website with fun activities and precise details about your big day is one of the simplest ways to show your guests how much thought you’ve put into making their experience special. Plus, it’s free for them to access and explore! Send Welcome Messages: If you know when your guests have arrived, consider sending them welcome messages or even small gifts as a token of appreciation for making the trip out to celebrate with you! It’s these thoughtful touches that will make them feel welcomed and appreciated. P.S. You can schedule these messages in advance. Provide Last-Minute Essentials: Consider setting aside funds for last-minute essentials like snacks, drinks, or toiletries that your guests may need while they stay in town. It’s a nice gesture that shows you care about their comfort during their stay. Inclusive Menu Offerings: Make sure that menu offerings are inclusive of diverse dietary needs by including vegan/vegetarian options or offering gluten-free dishes. One way to seamlessly collect this information is when your guests RSVP on your wedding website. This way, everyone can enjoy delicious meals without worrying about potential food allergies or restrictions. Infuse Personality Into Every Aspect Of The Big Day: Most importantly, infuse unique personality into every aspect of the big day - from decorations and music selection all the way down to small details like place cards and personalized favors! Showcasing your love story through different elements helps create an unforgettable atmosphere for everyone involved on such a momentous occasion! For destination weddings specifically, leaving time for exploration helps create an unforgettable experience for everybody involved in such an important celebration! With these tips in mind, you can ensure that every guest has an enjoyable time at your wedding, no matter where it takes place. So don't be afraid to get creative when planning - this is YOUR special

When it comes to the big day, all eyes are on your beauty. A bride deserves soft curves and radiant skin in their wedding photos. How much time should be allotted for hair/makeup: Let's take a quick moment - Bride should be allocated:
90 Minutes for Hair and Makeup Have you heard the saying "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?" This rings especially true when it comes to getting ready for your wedding. Most brides have wished that they had more time before their big day. We haven't had a single bride complain about being ready early, not a single one but I have had many of brides complain about the wedding starting late, missing out on dancing during the reception, first look, personal photos, sunset photos, and just moments in general. Trust us, it can feel like too much time but consider a traditional salon experience, your stylist has all her tools setup at her disposal and access to everything that she could need or she can ask her counterpart for something quick but on your wedding day, they are often traveling with alot of tools and doing their very best. Plus the salon doesn't have 5 of your besties all chatting, drinking, and talking all at once. There is so much to take in. Not only are these things happening around you but your stylist and makeup artist who may have only one interaction with you might find that you want some changes made to your hair or some adjustments to your original look, like tell me you had your makeup trial and didn't go into a dark hole on Instagram for other looks? Guilty? Be ready 2 hours before the wedding ceremony start time. Does being done with hair and makeup 2 hours before your wedding sound insane? Well, let's break down what you may still need to do after you are done with hair and makeup:
Brides should (almost) NEVER go last for hair and makeup on your wedding day. For the love.... please just look at the list above. Your maid of honor, bridesmaid, mother, sister, auntie, great cousin, niece, or whomever you have in your mind is not thinking of the million things swirling in a bride's head on their wedding day. Even if they are conscious of the timeline and love you to the moon and back, they will still have time to get finished without missing out on moments. The bride should (almost) never be last in the chair unless there's a situation where the vendor has to leave early to get things done and it still leaves us two full hours of being fully complete and ready to go for the wedding day. You know what they say, "The bride is always on time but the makeup and hair never are." So when it comes to your big day? Make sure you're giving yourself enough prep time by starting early! What if you're antsy in the waiting?
What if you don't have the kind of time needed to allocate the recommendations for a bride's hair and makeup timeline?
 There’s no doubt that wedding planning can become an overwhelming project for you and your spouse. Especially as we enter the Holiday season, it can feel like your list of to-dos doesn’t have an end. If you’ve found yourself spending every weekend and afternoon off calling vendors and editing seating charts, then it’s time to take a break!
Here are 6 ways you can de-stress before your wedding day. Be smart about your planning It’s important to balance the fun planning, like cake tasting and make-up trials, with the more daunting tasks, like rounding up RSVPs. Powering through the tough tasks with the promise of rewarding time for you at the end is a great way to stay motivated and positive through the process. Invite your friends to help Your family and friends are also excited about your big day, and many will be happy to help you prepare! Invite your friends for a Saturday in of movies, drinks, and addressing invites to enjoy some quality time while getting ahead on your planning. Making these tasks fun for everyone helps it feel less like a chore and creates meaningful memories of your wedding planning days. Plan a spa day at home Few things beat a good facial to help you relax and recharge. These spa day printables are perfect for a self-care day for yourself, a date night with your partner, or a weekend celebrating with your bridal party. Create DIY hair masks and facials, get a nail polish that matches your wedding colors, then sit back and relax! Go on a date with your fiancé Wedding planning is a huge amount of work and it’s always good to reconnect with your partner to enjoy time together without talking about the wedding. Revisit your first date spot, enjoy a meal from your favorite restaurant, or plan a game night for two. Whatever brought you together in the first place is a great way to spark all of your excitement with none of the stress. Prioritize your health The key to stress management is always putting your health first. If you’ve been skipping weekly yoga to meet with your planner, adjust your schedule to make sure you can still sweat the stress out. Make sure you’re eating well, too. A balanced diet can regulate your body and emotions, helping you feel more energized and in control. Take a week off You deserve a break from planning, so don’t be afraid to take a week off. If you have any must-dos, see if you can delegate the tasks to your parents, wedding party, or wedding planner. This week is all about you and your favorite things, so grab a good book, plan a day with your friends, and enjoy a week without wedding stress. Everything will still be there when you get back, and nothing is more important than you’re well-being.
