Couples tend to spend a good amount of money on flowers for their weddings & as the flowers I know are so beautiful, make sure it’s okay to take the flowers home after the wedding is over!!

At this wedding, I was cleaning up some things that return to the couple & I was told people were trying to take THE ENTIRE FLORAL CENTERPIECE HOME!!!

Normally flowers are okay to take home in some cases, but 90% of the time, the vase/compote/jar, etc that they are in is probably RENTED and is the FLORISTS or RENTAL COMPANIES product!!

This wedding, people just took the florals and their floral foam block out of the compotes and took that home which the couple was fine with!

If someone did end up taking home a vase/compote, jar, etc, then I guarantee the couple will probably be charged to replace that item!

I was glad I was able to stop the compote thieves before they left 😂😂🙌🏼🙌🏼

when the couple has a moment to themselves after their ceremony 🥹😍

(Us vendors ran away right after don’t worry)

Right after your ceremony, everyone will be saying “congratulations” and chatting with you but what about you?
If you can, TAKE IT ALLLLLL IN with your now spouse, you have all night to chat!! This couple even got to attend their cocktail hour for awhile too to talk with their guests!
You are the GUESTS OF HONOR not a HOST; the day goes by soooo fast so try to enjoy it!

She didn’t just walk down the aisle... she walked into her forever.
From the sparkling gown to the dreamy bouquet, every detail was pure elegance. Capturing love stories like this at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa never gets old.

Most couples think the rehearsal is just a quick run-through.

What they don’t see is the planning happening behind the scenes:

✨ Organizing the processional
✨ Answering last-minute questions
✨ Fixing ceremony spacing
✨ Coordinating family members
✨ Making sure everyone knows exactly where to be

Because when wedding day arrives, the goal isn’t perfection—it’s confidence.

A smooth ceremony starts long before guests take their seats.

find yourself a wedding planner that loves their job😎🙏🏻

between timeline updates, making vendor friends & messing with them, and getting a tan all while being apart of a couples love story is something we will always treasure🤍

(funny how I had the mic moved but I forgot to move it back, all jokes, you’re the best, Greg😂)

guest experience is sometimes underrated for wedding ceremonies!!!

can guests hear you? (If a mic is needed then it’s very important there is one-if guests miss vows or readings, they disconnect immediately)

is the seating comfortable? (Sun, shade, length, cramped- guests remember how they felt more than what was said)

confusing flow (Guests not knowing when to sit/stand, where to go, or what’s happening next makes things feel awkward and disorganized)

Logistics issues (not enough chairs, seating imbalance like one side packed, other empty and even poor signage)

don’t let this be you, make sure you have a planner or coordinator like me and I’ll make sure your wedding ceremony goes off without a hitch 🕺🏼😏

every love story I’m apart of means so much🤍

You don’t always need to go over the top for your wedding; no need to go into debt. As long as you still get to marry your best friend at the end of the day, then everything went perfect and you won’t care about what color napkins you had or what your centerpieces looked like.
