The One Wedding Tip Every Couple Needs (But Often Forgets)
If I Could Give One Piece of Wedding Advice, It Would Be: “Always Remember to Be Present.”
Planning a wedding can feel like managing a Broadway production—there are scripts, costumes, lighting cues, and a very real pressure to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. But amid all the spreadsheets, vendor calls, and Pinterest boards, there's one thing I always remind couples: Be present.
Being present means remembering why you're doing all of this in the first place: to celebrate your love. It’s easy to get lost in the details and forget to soak in the moments—the look on your partner’s face during your first look, the way your parents hold back tears during the ceremony, the joy of your friends tearing it up on the dance floor.
Some Real Talk & Planning Hacks:
💡 Build breathing room into your timeline. Don’t cram your day so full that you’re running from one thing to the next. Leave space for quiet moments, hugs, and actual meals.
📝 Don’t skip the ‘unsexy’ stuff. Things like having a bad-weather backup plan or prepping a vendor contact sheet seem minor—until you need them. You’ll thank yourself later.
🎧 Hire vendors you trust, then let go. This one’s big. When you hire professionals who get you, you won’t have to micromanage. They’ll keep the day running smoothly while you focus on living it.
🧺 Create an emergency kit. Bandaids, snacks, safety pins, extra deodorant—it’s amazing what can save the day. Assign a bridesmaid or groomsman to be in charge of this.
🎤 Make communication easy. Whether that’s through an online portal (like SOUNDfonix Online 😉), shared docs, or group chats, keeping everyone in sync reduces stress for everyone involved.
One Last Thing…
After the cake is eaten and the music fades, the most unforgettable part of your wedding won’t be the signature cocktails or the table linens—it’ll be how you felt. So give yourself permission to step out of planner mode and just be there with the people you love.
Now it’s your turn!
