Wedding tips: For the day!

-

 Ah hello gems! Welcome back to a wedding tip blog and one of the key items is the DAY OF! The day you have been planning comes quick but it also passes in a blur. Here are some tips to make sure you are fully present and enjoying it to the fullest:

1. Prioritize your partner: From the moment you are together, and throughout the reception, ensure to focus on time with your partner. A lot of people are there to celebrate you but don't get distracted taking shots or photos with friends when the truly important item is making memories together. You want to look back and have a similar recollection of the day's events, especially that you were side by side. This was a tip we were given a few months prior to the wedding and it was so true!

2. Something will go wrong, accept that: Something will go wrong inevitably, no matter how much planning you do you cannot control all items and that is something that is better to anticipate rather than trying to avoid. Big or small, the unavoidable happens and let the day go by with a smile on your face knowing nothing can truly take away from the magic. 

3, Limit drinking: We all love to have a good time but your wedding is not the time to over drink and feel sick. Guests mean well and want to cheers you, bring you drinks, etc. but you can politely turn them down or sip slowly. It's a marathon not a sprint!

4. One person for issues: My sister gave me the GREATEST tip prior to my wedding: If something goes wrong you do not need to tell many people but only flag it to one person and have them handle it. If you advise many and point out something that may have gone off plan, you are making it known to the whole wedding when no one would have likely noticed. 

5, Take a minute to take it in: We made a point to have a moment alone each time we sat at our sweetheart table, every time we sat down, we made sure to remind each other to take in the room, the people, the energy, etc. and absorb it. These people were never going to be together again in one room, here to celebrate your love and your new marriage. 

At the end of the day, ensure to focus on your partner, your love and celebrating all that you are bringing together.

Furniture shopping

 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We...

New Year Update!

 Hi Gems,  Wow it has been a while. The last time I wrote and published on here was in October which honestly feels like a lifetime. As the holidays came and went, we rang in the new year and I find myself thinking a lot about not only lessons learned this year but the direction I want to aim for when going into 2024.  As you may know if you follow my other platforms, I am getting married this year which feels surreal! It's been so far away for so long and here we are counting down less then a year! I also am so proud of Tia things on Instagram , TikTok and Youtube because I really have pushed myself to create more all while having fun! With all of this in mind, here are some of my goals going into 2024: 1. Have a life outside of wedding planning  Wedding planning has genuinely been so fun and even in the stress-inducing times, I would not change anything for the world. I am so proud of how much we have done, saved, planned, etc. as we put together our perfect day....

Wedding Planning Tips

 Hey gems,  Reporting live is your 2024 bride here! Happy to report most wedding planning is complete, but we certainly aren't done just yet! As the process of planning a wedding is always both fun and stressful, here are a few tips I learnt along the way: Photo by Brightsight visuals  1. Have a vision Yourself and your partner should have a vision along with some general guidelines for the event and how you see it coming to life. Big, small, theme, style, etc. This is something that we were pretty lucky to align on from the start, but even then, when family and friends start offering input and suggestions, pushing for you to say YES to what they are thinking is a brilliant idea, it is sometimes so confusing to stick to your original vision. There are plenty of ways to compromise and make everyone happy, but knowing what your basis vision is really helps field some of those moments.  2. Learn about your circle Listen, everyone says you learn who your true friends are...
