Enjoy these awesome wedding tips from the pros about the things no one mentions when you're knee-deep in planning your wedding! We’ve listed the best advice from our very own wedding planning experts to help prepare you for this fun, exciting, and ever-so-eventful chapter of your life.

1. Budget up to 15% of your budget on photography

You should spend about 15 percent of your budget on photography. Meet the photographers in person before booking them. You will spend lots of time with them on your big day, they literally follow you around. You want someone who will understand your vision of your wedding. Give them a shot list of photo ops you want to capture. Discuss in advance. – Christina, Client Services Agent

2. Be firm on your decisions

Your color theme can change a million times! But once you find the one you like, stick with it! –Bri, Wedding Expert Team

3. Prioritize your health

Things can get overwhelming, really fast! Be sure to prioritize your health during this process.– Kim, Client Services Agent

4. Start your seating chart early

Start your seating chart even before you start getting RSVP’s. This is the thing people put off the longest, but it’s what takes the most time. And don’t try and please everyone, they should be spending more time dancing than sitting!– Denise, Customer Care team

5. Have an emergency kit

A good tip is to make an emergency kit for day-of with bobby pins, safety pins, bad aids, breath mints, lip gloss, ibuprofen, etc.– Christina, Client Services Agent

6. Create two guest lists

If you have a high guest count, it really helps to make two separate guest lists. An ‘A’ list and a ‘B’ list will help keep the guest count down.– Denise, Customer Care Team
