What to do when it rains for your outdoor wedding?

Onyx & Keys celebrated their wedding day at this venue with a gorgeous view. They have a daughter who was part of all. She was the cute flower girl. This sweet couple had a Christian ceremony with a very intimate celebration

The day started with a big storm but just before the ceremony it cleared up and the sky was beautiful!!

Tampa Florida can be a tricky place to have a wedding. The summers are so pretty, but you never know when a day of rain will come through. No matter where you live, it is a good idea to have a “plan B” for possible weather problems. It will save you a lot of stress on the wedding day if you have a secondary plan to execute. A detailed plan of attack when switching between your ideal plan and your alternate plan can mean all the difference to how smooth your day runs. If your venue doesn’t provide help with this, make sure you call up the groomsmen or other attendants before the wedding to ask for assistance and designate when you’ll make the final call, as well as who will take care of what.

Post Pandemic Wedding | Beach Wedding | Detail Wedding Photos

Thao & Gabriel got married just when the pandemic Florida reopened from the pandemic last year
They rented an /Airbnb for their venue.
Thao’s sister couldn’t join because Mexico was still closed and she was in Playa del Carmen Quintana Room, Mexico. At that time there were still a lot of states still closed. Even tho his sister was not there. They were able to share this day with some friends and family.

They are just adorable!

The thought of having to postpone again was daunting. We’re at a point where it feels like it needs to happen no matter what, which is not to say that we’ll proceed with an event that does not feel safe and comfortable.

Detail wedding shots are a must-have. In addition to your full invitation suite, items to consider having are copies of your other day paper goods (menus, programs, place cards), your rings, ring boxes, ring dishes, wedding dress hanger, your jewelry, perfume, shoes, veil, bouquet, and welcome gifts for guests. Wedding detail shots showcase the color and aesthetics of the wedding that you’ve so carefully planned. To make sure that you get these stunning shots for your wedding, here are a few examples and tips!

Wondering what to expect from wedding detail shots? It depends on your wedding style, but the following are common detail shots:

• Styled flat lay images with your invitation suite and wedding rings

• Photos of your wedding dress carefully hung in the bridal suite

• Wedding bands in antique ring boxes

• The bride’s jewelry nestled in the wedding bouquet

• The groom’s accessories lying next to a handwritten note

• All 3 wedding rings — the bride’s engagement ring and wedding band, and the groom’s ring!

• Complete invitation suite — save the date, wedding invitation, envelope, and any other ribbons or materials the suite was mailed in

• Flowers

• Bride’s wedding shoes

• Veil

• Ring boxes

• Accessories from the couple — the bride’s necklace and earrings, and the groom’s cufflinks and tie

• Personal family heirlooms

• Handwritten notes

Why having a Wedding Budget is so important?

by– Jewelanee Flores Wedding Planner & Podcaster

---

One of the most difficult questions that a couple finds hard to answer is: How much is your Wedding Budget? Some couples can give out the exact amount, while most couples ask back; How much do you think it will cost? There are even the couples that are risky enough to say they do not have a maximum budget.

No matter how much you are comfortable spending on your wedding, whether is $2,500 or $250,000, is extremely important to know your number. Ask yourself; How much are you comfortable spending on your wedding day? Once you figure out your number, you are ready to start working on your budget.

Your Wedding budget is an estimated amount of funds you have allocated towards every aspect of your celebration. Budgeting allows you to create a PLAN. Which means that you will have enough money for the services you want on your wedding day and you will be away of overspending. 

Is no secret that money talk is not easy, and they stress out most brides. But, Why is it so stressful? Most of the time brides do not know how much they will need to have the wedding of their dreams. If you do not know how much you will need, most likely you do not know exactly what you want. If you do not have a clear vision and set priorities for your wedding, you will be investing in services you most likely will not even need. Having a set vision and priorities will make easier choosing the services you will really need.

Most brides ask me why is so important to have a budget and monitor it consistently?

1. 1. You will have CONTROL over your money.

2. 2. You will be stress relieved because you will have a clear idea of where your money is going.

3. 3. You will be informed. You will know exactly where the money is coming from, where is it going and how much is still left.

4. 4. You will maximize the use of your money. Since you will establish a maximum cap for each item you will not overspend.

5. 5. You will have an organized expense.

Are you ready to start building your budget? Here are 5 steps to start.

1. 1. Where is money coming from?

   1. a. Yes, you need to have the uncomfortable conversation; Who will be paying? Bride family? Groom’s family? You and your fiancée? Will everyone contribute?

   2. 2. What do you need for the Wedding?

   3. a. Not every wedding has the same services, but the most common are the following.

      4

      • • Ceremony/reception venue

      • • Wedding Planner

      • • Officiant

      • • Photographer

      • • Cake

      • • Food and Beverage

      • • Decoration

      • • Invitations

      • • Stationery

      • • Stylist

      • • Transportation

      • • Wedding Rings

      • • Outfit for bride and groom

   4. b. Choose the top priorities for your wedding. This will not be negotiable and will be the most important for you and your fiancée.

   5. 3. How much will you invest on each item?

   6. a. Assign a separate budget for each item. For example – You could have a budget of $10,000 in total and a venue budget of $3,000.

   7. 4. Where is your money? 

   8. a. Monitoring your budget is the key factor. Write down the cost for each contracted vendor, deposit, and payments. This way you will track your money and will know exactly how much you have spent and what is left.

   9. 5. What if something goes wrong?

   10. a. Do not forget to have an emergency fund. You need to have a set amount for any last minute emergency. Is better to have it and to not need it than to need it and not having it.

   11. The most important thing about budgeting is to keep focus. If you and your partner work as a team and start building up your budget funds you will get to your goal when you least expect it. No matter the type of event or how much you want to spend, with the right tools, good planning, consistency and focus you will achieve your goal.

       Your budget and wedding board are the key to plan a wedding where you feel 100% confident with every decision you make. The best part is that you will be reducing your stress and enjoying every step of the process before walking down the aisle.
