Tips for Enjoying Wedding Planning

 

Welcome back to the WDW Blog, lovebirds!

 

Today we are talking about a subject you know we are all too passionate about: wedding planning!

 

Since we help you with one of the first steps of wedding planning, it is important to us to help you throughout the rest of the planning journey too.

 

Wedding planning can be so hard. It is a brand new endeavor that you have never tackled before and most likely never will again either. 

 

There are so many details, so many costs, so many questions! It can be completely overwhelming!

 

However, if done correctly, wedding planning can be really exciting and enjoyable too!

Here are some of our favorite tips for making the process a lot more fun and lot less hectic for you and your love!

 

Tips for Enjoying Wedding Planning

 

Hire HELP!

We know we might sound like a broken record, but this is the most important piece of advice we can give you: HIRE A PLANNER/COORDINATOR.

These professionals are incredible and are going to make the wedding planning process so much better for you. They will help you with timeline, details, bookings, etc. Trust us, if you are feeling overwhelmed you are going to feel so much better when you hire someone to help with all the little details you haven’t even thought of yet!

 

Hire Help You Connect With!

Hiring people you bond with is also SO important. If you hire someone you don’t like or don’t trust it is not going to help anything. In fact, it may do the exact opposite and make you feel even more stressed! No fun! Make sure you really vet the people you hire, interview them, see if you can really get along with them before putting them on the job.

 

Take Time Off

You might feel like planning your wedding is a second job. In some ways, it kind of is, especially if you are on a tight timeline. However, just like a normal job, it is ok to take time off! If you need a day (not weeks or months!!) to clear your mind and not think about all things wedding, take the day to have a little break. The break will help immensely and you will be ready to jump back in and tackle more details when you revisit everything.

 

Make it a Team Effort

You don’t have to go through this alone. After all, you are getting married to someone, so let that special someone help you and jump in! They say there is strength in numbers, so let your partner join in on the fun, make decisions and be collaborative with you! It will make the process all the more special too if you work together because come wedding day you can look at the amazing day you created together!

 

Make it Fun

Wedding planning doesn’t mean you have to be on the computer or on the phone all day bored and alone. Especially if you have your partner helping out, make it a fun and relaxing experience. Maybe go on a date and during the date look at all the florists you love on Instagram. Eating and planning can totally go hand in hand. Plus what is more romantic than talking about your upcoming wedding day??

 

Hopefully all these little tips will make your wedding planning process much smoother, lovebirds!

 

It is our hope for you all that you love the journey and enjoy every moment that leads up to your special day.

 

If you are struggling or need more help, let us know! That is why we are here. 

 

Until then, take a deep breath, enjoy the process, and watch your beautiful wedding unfold!

 

Cheers,

Tips for Summer Weddings

 

Happy Summer, lovebirds!

Are you so happy that Texas Summer is here or are you yearning for the days of cooler weather?

 

We are total suckers for summer time. Warmer weather, pool time, yummy cocktails…what’s not to love. That’s why we were inspired to write about some tips that may help those of you who want to do a Summer wedding in Texas!

 

We are so ready to help you tackle the heat and keep all your loved ones cool on your big day!

SO…how can you help tackle the heat and make your warmer wedding a smashing success?

 

Here are our Tips for Summer Weddings

 

H20

 

Hydrating is important for so many reasons!

When it comes to you, drink lots of water before you head down the aisle. You don’t want to get to the ceremony and be dying from thirst or feeling woozy from being dehydrated1

 

For your guests…hydrate them too. Provide your guests with cooling beverages BEFORE and AFTER the ceremony. If you are planning on having an outdoor ceremony, think about providing a beverage station with at least water to your guests so they can grab a sip ahead of sitting in the sun waiting for the ceremony to begin. Trust us when we say your guests are going to be SO happy they had something to quench their thirst.

 

Pop Up

 

Summer weddings mean summer treats! 

 

If it is going to be especially warm during your wedding, think about treating your guests to some popsicles or ice cream! You can even get creative and get boozy pops made or incorporate ice cream into your signature cocktail. Plus, this will make for such great photos! Talk about a win-win for you and your guests!

 

Sunnies

 

Love the sun, but hate to squint? Us too! Sunglasses are summer’s best friend!

 

How about some sunglasses to help guests get a better view during a sunny ceremony? Sunglasses are a great thing because, 1. They provide shade and sun relief to guests 2. They are a great prop for photo booths or reception fun 3. They can be your guest favors! Plus, you can get creative and customize them with your names or wedding date! These items are not only fun but oh so useful!

 

Fan Please!

 

Whether we are talking electric or hand held, this is a great idea!

 

Fans can be an absolute lifesaver when it comes to a warmer event. Whether you make the fan out of our ceremony card or have hand held options available, these will make any guest feel cooler and breezier while outside. This is another great way to personalize a detail for your wedding day! 

 

Calm, Cool and Delicious

 

Who doesn’t love yummy eats come summer time?

 

Summer food is delicious food. One way to keep guests cool and not bogged down during the party is offering some cooler options to eat. Think salads, fruits, cold soups, etc. Cooler food can be just as delicious, we promise!

 

These are just a few of our ideas lovebirds. If you are loving the thought of a Summer event and need more ideas, let us know!

We are big summer lovers around here and would love to help!

 

Until then, enjoy the pool and plan plan plan!

The We Do Weddings Experience

The We Do Weddings Experience!

 

Welcome back, lovebirds!

 

Today we thought we would do a little refresher on all things We Do Weddings! Welcome to the We Do Weddings Experience! 

 

We wanted to tell you all about us, the website, and what we hope your experience will be when using WDW.

 

Now, if you are reading this, you most likely know what We Do Weddings is all about. But it never hurts to read and maybe learning something new… are we right??


WHAT is We Do Weddings?

Well, we are a brand new wedding website (we launched in November 2020). We noticed that couples were looking for venues specifically based on date availability and while there are other websites out there that can give you venue ideas, nobody can help you connect with a venue who is actually available on the date you want! Thus, WDW was born!

 

WHO is We Do Weddings?

We Do Weddings was actually created by people who know the business well, wedding venue owners! Karen and Ken Moise own Dripping Springs wedding venue, Ma Maison! They have been in the wedding business for over 30 years and are passionate about helping couples in any way they can.

 

The gals behind the day-to-day, us, are Conor and Kaitlyn! Kaitlyn is daughter to Karen and Ken and Conor is an extended part of the family too. From doing social posts, meeting with venues, connecting with couples and so much more, we love doing this! Weddings are such a wonderful part of this world and we love being able to help couples navigate the tricky waters of wedding planning.

 

The We Do Weddings Experience…

Our hope for all our couples is that We Do Weddings will help ease any stress of the burden of finding a wedding venue. While building our site (and as it continually evolves with the help of YOU), it was most important to us that the website be user friendly and helpful! 

 

When you register or login, our hope is that you can put in your preferred date and details and easily find venues that you will fall in love with and instantly connect.

 

Our site offers an easy instant email option to venues or you can go to their website and connect organically that way too. Options and ease are the name of the game and we hope to succeed in both for all of you!

 

Have any questions or need additional help connecting with your venue?

Please let us know! That’s what we are here for!

 

Also, if you ever need wedding inspo, look at our social hubs! We constantly are posting about our partnered venues and showcasing the different styles and designs that can inspire your very own wedding!

 

Thanks for reading our refresher lovebirds! We love working with you!


Until next time, cheers to love!
