Personalizing Your Wedding Day!

Planning a wedding will pull you in many directions, you will collaborate not only with your fiancé but also with your friends and family. There will be all kinds of information thrown at you from wedding traditions and stories of their own to vendor referrals and gobs of inspiration. So how do you customize the wedding day to make sure that it reflects you? There are so many ways you can customize your day and bring out your personality. Sometimes this customization may be dependent on your budget or what your venue allows and other times there is no limit.

It’s your party, party like you! So, let us dive into just a few ways you can make your day all about you as a couple!

Creating Your Wedding Day Timeline

You’ve spent days, months, possibly years planning one of the biggest days of your life. Your wedding day! You will spend so much time and effort thinking about how everything will go and how at the end of what will for sure be an exceptionally long day you get to finally say you are MARRIED! I hate to break it to you if you have not already heard, it goes by so fast. I have lost count of the number of times at the end of that wonderful night I hear “I can’t believe it’s over!”

However, a sure way to help your day seem to last longer and be more enjoyable is to have a plan and better yet someone who can execute that plan for you. But this blog will not be about why a coordinator is important (check out this podcast for that), but instead, equip you with a few tools on how to make your plan flawless (or as close to it). So, what am I talking about…Creating Your Wedding Day Timeline!

Wedding Invitation Do’s and Don’ts!

A wedding invitation is more than just the way to get guests to your wedding. They can set the tone for your big day and give a glimpse of your overall color scheme and theme. It is a place to show a level of formality and personality. But invitations also contain potential hidden costs and etiquette faux pas. Let’s unpack some of the things to consider with your wedding invitation.

Wedding Entrance Songs for the Bridal Party

Trying to make a lasting impression as you make your grand entrance into your reception as the newlywed couple? First, pick a song that matches your energy and excitement. Second, pick what unique entrance you want to do if that’s showing off your dancing skills, bouquet catching abilities, sipping on your favorite drink, or something funny and unique to you as a couple. Third, coordinate with your photographer and videographer to make sure they know where you will be making your grand entrance so they can capture these great moments.

Now it’s time to gather your bridal party and decide what songs they want to make an entrance to. Most choose a different song for their bridal party, or you can pick one song for all of you. We also get requests to do a different song for every couple, this is doable, but remember the clip of the song is typically not lengthy. Your guests will get a kick out of what the bridal party comes up with for their entrance and as we stated above there are endless options on entrance ideas, just be creative and don’t forget to have fun!

We’ve categorized top wedding entrance songs into three sections, from the old school to the new school, and some pop hits from the 90s and early 2000s and in between! All the songs listed and more are also featured on our Spotify playlist: wedding entrance songs if you want to listen while you read on!
