1. The Details That Tell Your Story
I always tell my couples to have their details ready before I arrive. Things like:
Your invitation suite (with envelopes and any inserts)
Both rings + ring box
Jewelry and perfume
Vows or letters
A family heirloom or sentimental keepsake
These items tell a piece of your love story and deserve to be captured with care. Pro tip: put them all in one box or bag the night before to avoid last-minute scrambling!
2. Time to Breathe
It’s easy to get caught up in timelines, but don’t forget to build in little pockets of time to just breathe. A quiet moment alone, a deep breath before the first look, or even five minutes with your partner can make a big difference in how the day feels.
Remember: this day is about the two of you. Let it sink in.
3. Snacks + Water (You’ll Thank Me Later!)
I always carry extra snacks in my bag (yes, really), but having your own stash—especially for getting ready—is a lifesaver. The adrenaline is real, and it’s easy to forget to eat. Stay fueled so you can enjoy every moment.
Bonus: throw a few straws in your bag so you can sip water without ruining your lipstick!
4. A Pair of Comfortable Shoes
Your heels are cute. I get it. But bring a backup pair—trust me. Whether it’s sandals for walking between photo spots or sneakers for dancing, your feet will thank you.
5. Your People (and a Plan to See Them)
Your wedding day will fly by. So make a mental (or physical) list of the people you don’t want to leave without hugging. Whether it’s your grandparents, childhood best friend, or out-of-town cousin—you’ll never regret making time for those connections.
Even a quick photo or two can mean the world later.
