1. Have an Unplugged Ceremony

Let guests know in advance that your ceremony will be unplugged. Phones and cameras can wait—this moment is about being truly present, and it ensures your professional photos stay timeless.

2. Trust Your Vendors

You’ve chosen your team for a reason. Put your trust in them and let go of the details. We’re here to get the best result for you, and if you need referrals, we know some of the best local talent.

3. Add Buffer Time

Build breathing room into your schedule. Things often run behind, and that’s okay. A flexible timeline keeps the day flowing smoothly and reduces unnecessary stress.

4. Accept Wet Weather Early

It’s Australia—you can’t control the forecast. But you can prepare. Have a backup plan, and embrace the day for what it is. Rain brings its own beauty and magic.

5. Don’t Stress About the Dress

Your dress is meant to be lived in, hugged in, danced in. A little dirt or a stray mark won’t matter—it’s part of the story.

6. Eat Breakfast (and Snack Often)

It sounds simple, but in the rush of hair, makeup, and nerves, food can be forgotten. Start the day with a good meal and keep small snacks nearby to stay fueled.

7. Stay Hydrated

Between champagne toasts and the whirlwind of the day, it’s easy to forget water. Keep a bottle handy—you’ll thank yourself later.

8. Delegate, Don’t Carry Everything

You don’t need to manage the day. Give small tasks to your bridal party, family, or planner so you can be present. People love to help—it makes them feel included.

9. Soak In the Quiet Moments

Write each other a morning love letter, take a deep breath before walking down the aisle, or pause to look around at your guests. These little moments are what you’ll remember most.

10. Remember What Matters Most

The cake, the flowers, the speeches—they’re all beautiful. But at the heart of the day is the two of you, committing to forever. Keep that in focus, and everything else will fall into place.
