When we think about wedding day fashions, our thoughts immediately go to what the bride is going to wear… what she’ll look like coming the aisle…. And how fabulous she looked on her wedding day! But what about the groom? After all, it’s his wedding day too! And while he shouldn’t upstage the bride, he should look his absolute best on his wedding day.

​It’s no secret, the week leading up to your wedding will be one of the busiest weeks of your life. On top of being filled with various emotions, you will become a family wrangler, an advisor for traveling guests, and a professional assistant tasked with picking up and delivering various items… all while finding those hidden moments to spend with your soon to be spouse. It can be overwhelming and exhausting, especially if you have not hired a Day of Coordinator to handle all of those many pre-wedding tasks. So how do you keep your sanity the week of the wedding? I’m going to share 5 tips that will help you to wake up on your Big Day, stress-free!

​While many brides would love to hire a full-service wedding planner, it’s not always in their budget, and having cashflow to spend on catering or flowers tops the list of priorities. There are also a lot of brides who enjoy the idea of planning all the details from A to Z on their own. However, one aspect that many brides overlook is the value of enlisting the help of a professional on their wedding day.

So I want to put to rest some common misconceptions about Day Of Coordination and share my top reasons why you need to hire a professional coordinator for your wedding day.
