    8 Wedding Planning Tips for the Busy Memphis Bride

    Memphis Wedding Photographers 1. Prioritize First, it's simple.  You have to reduce the number of things to plan. Prioritize what the most important aspects of your wedding are for you and your spouse.

    • Do the invitations need to reflect the latest innovations in origami?
    • Are programs really necessary?

    Weddings are pretty commonplace, after all — most people know what’s going to happen. Not only will this save you time, but it will save you money, too.

    2. Register Online Online registries are all the rage these days, reflecting the needs and lifestyles of modern couples. Avoid spending your precious weekend in the aisles of Bed Bath & Beyond and create a wedding gift registry at CardAvenue.com. The site allows you to select gift cards from hundreds of favorite retailers, restaurants and even airlines. It’s as easy as creating a registry, selecting the cards, and sharing the link with friends. Done and done!

    3. Delegate People close to you enjoy being part of your big day, so let them! I relied heavily on my mom during planning and she was thrilled to be involved. Similarly, a good friend of mine asked me to set up her reception space while she prepared herself for the aisle. Granted, her meticulous instructions took time to create, but ultimately it allowed her to focus on what’s most important – getting ready for the ceremony.

    4. Get Pinning The days of shopping for wedding magazines and scouring wedding websites are over, thanks to Pinterest. Ideas ranging from the highly traditional to the totally off-the-wall are all available in one easy-to-use website. Better yet, there are several DIY ideas that help you stay within budget and make your day truly unique. No time for DIY? Refer to tip 3 – that’s what bridesmaids are for!

    5. Go All-Inclusive Depending on your budget, couples might find it easier to select a venue that offers access to music, catering, rooms to get ready in, and all the other details that make wedding planning chaotic. The all-inclusive convenience will likely jack up the price of the venue, but if you can afford it you’ll save a lot of time.

    6. Keep it Simple Avoid pouring over dress styles and let your girls select their own dresses in your preferred color palette. Ditch the formal dinner in favor of a buffet to bypass seating arrangements and dish preferences. And finally, make the reception as carefree as possible — the big moment is over and it’s time to relax and enjoy time with your guests.

    7. Think Small It’s a fact of life — it’s much easier to organize a small group of people than it is a large one. Keeping the guest list small has multiple benefits, not the least of which is saving you money. After the wedding, send a marriage announcement to everyone in your extended network, thanking them for their well wishes.

    8. Stay Local From food to flowers, keeping your vendor selections local will reduce the headache associated with coordinating out-of-town services. It’s much easier to have a friend swing by a shop to pick something up than it is to order a last-minute necessity and hope it gets where it needs to be on time. TheKnot.com’s Local Vendors page offers easy access to nearby vendors of all kinds.

     

    Disney Inspired Wedding - Mr. & Mrs. Lipe

    It's not every day that Mr. Incredible marries Ariel.  I adored this Disney inspired themed wedding.  What I adored even more, she let the wedding party pick the characters they wanted incorporated into their flowers.  The hints of Disney were perfect.  Not too much, but just enough to feel magical.  I will never forget this beautiful night!  So happy for you guys!  :)

    Mr. & Mrs. Tubbs

    There is just something about this couple that makes me happy.  Perhaps it's because they took in two puppies that were brother and sister when I was trying to find a home for them together so they wouldn't be split up.   Or... Perhaps it's because I am obsessed with her eyes.  I can't decide.  :) Check out their beautiful wedding at the Bank's House in Hernando, MS.

    Mr. & Mrs. Fry

    There is no other way to describe these two beautiful people other than..

    A cup of hot cocoa on Christmas morning.

    The way they love each other is so beautiful.  So peacefully easy.  So timelessly charming.
