I love developing the timeline for the day and supporting the couple with customizing their wedding details to include their own traditions and wedding features that embodies them.
Favorite Color Palette And Why!
I love creating custom designs for my clients based on their preferred colors and the venue.
My most recent client color palette was navy blue and burgundy for a winter wedding.
Favorite Tip For The Day Of Timeline
If there are multiple locations involved in your wedding day, consider the type of transportation you would prefer to get you both, your family, wedding party and guests to the specific locations. Consider using a range of times to accommodate for several trips or multiple guests so no one misses anything (i.e., 4-5pm: Travel To Cocktail Hour).
