ā€œI regret thisā€

"I wish I hadnā€™t rushed finding my wedding dress. I had one day where my sister and step-mom were visiting to help me shop and I was determined to find the dress with them there. Ended up rushing to a decision instead of really enjoying the best shopping experience over more time.ā€

ā€œI'm so glad I did thisā€

ā€œI loved how people were dancing all night! I spent a lot of time on music ā€œmust playā€ and ā€œdonā€™t playā€ lists I shared with the DJ so he had a great idea of the type of music to stick to and avoid and everyone had such a fun time!ā€

In this section we'll be sharing tips straight from the pros! Wedding planners, photographers, florists, decorators, caterers, venues, etc. We want to hear from you!

Tips for your big day from Wedding Planner, Maggie Marsh

Seating Arrangement: Seat your family and friends on the opposite side of you during the ceremony so they can see your face instead of your back. It makes the experience more enjoyable for your guests and ensures they capture the best views of your special moments.

Designate Friends As Photographers: Although you will have a photographer, it is always smart to have two or three friends or bridesmaids to take your photos as well. This way you are able to see a sneak peak of some photos right after the wedding!
