Tasteful Tatters

Sometimes I meet with couples and it's like we were just meant to be friends. It actually happens more often than not. But these two were special. It actually started before we even met up. I have a questionnaire on my website that helps me get to know my couples better and I ask a few questions about their fav dance jams and coffee order - you know, stuff like that. What I got was something I have never heard back from a couple before. They answered all the questions with style and flair and then they shot back a question for me: what was my top 3 music artists? Oh. my. word. I was being put on the spot. I immediately was panicking... would they not hire me based on my answers? I was SO nervous. But also excited - but I love this question. I love music too and used to work in music, so it was the most terrifying and excited email to get from a potential client hahaDarrick and Lindsay were an absolute dream to work with. They had some rad ideas and we were able to collaborate on a ton of details. Their love of music was intertwined throughout the entire day while still keeping the overall look and feel elegant and timeless.

My biggest advice about wedding planning is get organized. There are so many amazing resources online, especially Pinterest, with checklists, sample timelines, and sample budgets. It is easy to get really excited and just jump in and start planning, but getting organized helps so much in the long run. Working with Emilee was an incredible help as well! Outside of organization, make sure not to sweat the small stuff. Unexpected things will happen on your wedding day, but you have to just roll with the punches. The biggest thing is to remember the day is about you and your partner and no one else! Don't let anything get in the way of the overflowing love you will receive on that day.
