You shouldn’t be the one wrangling vendors, answering questions, or managing a timeline on your wedding day—and honestly, neither should your mom or your maid of honor. You need a dedicated point person whose sole job is to keep things running smoothly so you can focus on soaking in every moment. In this blog, I’m breaking down why having someone in charge (who isn’t you!) is one of the smartest decisions you can make, plus how it keeps stress low, timelines on track, and emergencies handled before you even know they happened.

The first time you see your partner on your wedding day is a big moment, and how you choose to experience it can shape the tone of your day. Should you opt for a first look before the ceremony for a private, intimate moment? Or would the traditional aisle moment, filled with anticipation and emotion in front of your loved ones, be more your style?

In this post, we dive into the pros and cons of both options. From the smooth timeline and reduced nerves a first look can offer, to the suspense and tradition of the aisle walk, we’ll help you make the right choice for your big day. Whether you’re looking for intimacy or a public reveal, it’s all about what feels most meaningful for you and your partner.

Choosing your wedding party can be tough, but it’s important to surround yourself with people who truly matter. Focus on those who have been there for you the most and consider how they’ll contribute to the day. Be open with those you can’t include, explaining your decision thoughtfully. Clear communication and staying true to your relationships will help keep everyone feeling valued, even if they’re not part of the wedding party.

The first look is often reserved for the couple, but what about sharing that moment with other loved ones like your dad, mom, dog, or wedding party? A first look with your dad or mom can be emotional, while seeing your dog in their little tux or dress adds a cute touch. Sharing a moment with your bridesmaids or groomsmen can also be a fun way to celebrate your friendships. These first looks offer unique memories that enhance your wedding day, and a coordinator can help make sure these moments go smoothly.
