Six Tips for a Stress-free Wedding
THIS.... This is how you don't get lost in the sea of an event, but instead fully indulge in what matters most - the intention of the wedding being about the two of you and your union. Maureen and Philip nailed it.
How? Here are the 6 things I noticed:
1. The first photo is 100% how I found them. Relaxing with an espresso martini, fully engaged with each other before the ceremony started.
2. They hired a team of wedding planners who managed all of the logistics for the day @noblevents
3. And this is important - they worked out all of the details of the day and had very specific instructions for the wedding planners. Too often couples disengage with the logistics believing that the coordinator/planner will just take care of everything.
4. They had a small guest list for the ceremony and opened the doors to guests for the party. So, they could engage with their immediate families and close friends - get their group photos, and not have to worry about entertaining others until later in the night.
5. They kept their wedding party down to one each. One for the rings, and one for the dress and bouquet. That is literally all you need.
6. And my favourite, they fully customized the ceremony script to reflect on their values and the meaning of what marriage means to them. Each relationship is going to be different and they took the time to outline what they envisioned for themselves.
Overall, if you take the time to plan everything out ahead of time and hire great vendors to make it happen - you can release yourself to relax and enjoy your big day.

I really loved the tips you shared for a stress-free wedding! It's so important to stay organized and keep everything in perspective. One thing I’d add is to consider adding a unique touch, like planning a relaxing post-wedding activity. After the big day, why not unwind with eco tours in St. Augustine? It’s a great way to experience nature and create lasting memories with your closest friends and family. Plus, it fits perfectly into the theme of a relaxed, stress-free celebration. Thanks for the helpful advice—it's definitely giving me some great ideas!
