Brain Dump Before you even start pulling imagery to build your board, it’s important to go in with a clear vision of who you are as a couple, what your ultimate aesthetic is and what your event expectations are. Jot all of your thoughts down in one place to reference before you even start pinning imagery.

Step Two Narrow down your wedding board images to your top 10-20 images. You can add these to a new FINAL board on Pinterest to separate the final selection of imagery from the pinning you did previously. Pull your very favorite details and aesthetics those things that make you REALLY excited to have a wedding. This is what you’ll look at to refine your overall vision.

Step Three Refine your selection with these questions: What style stands out in your saved images? What details are your fave/must haves? What colors stand out and do they match what you thought you liked? What fashion elements are most prominent?

On top of asking yourself these questions, take into consideration the different planning and logistical processes that your site may require. Once you’ve narrowed down your location, it will be easier to select from venues in the area.

meet the staff and tour the place in person.

By going to tour the venue in person, you are able to make multiple observations about the setting that can help you make your decision.

This allows you to experience the energy and atmosphere of the venue, something that cannot be observed through merely a gallery of pictures. Most importantly, you need to be comfortable with not only the appeal and representation of the site, but also the staff. Pay attention to their friendliness. You don’t want a team that is pressuring you into booking their venue. Instead, you want people that simply want to assist you on creating your dream wedding. These are the people that are going to be with you on your special day. You need to like them and their communication process.

PHASE ONE

CONSIDER YOUR GUESTS’ POINT OF VIEW Part of your due diligence is to think about your guests’ convenience. Walking in their shoes while making your final decisions will give you a new perspective on the venue. Pay attention to the number of bathrooms provided, if it is handicap accessible and if the directions to the venue are easy to follow. This perspective is something that all of your guests will encounter on the day of the event, so it is always great to consider.

ASK ASK ASK! DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS. Once you have fallen in love with a venue, it is important to know what you are committing to — so ask! Here are some popular and essential questions to ask the venue so you can make sure that they can accomplish exactly what you are envisioning.

1. HOW LONG IS THE SPACE AVAILABLE FOR THE DAY WE HAVE SELECTED?

2. ARE THERE ANY DÉCOR OR NOISE RESTRICTIONS?

3. DO YOU HAVE A BACKUP PLAN FOR UNEXPECTED WEATHER?

4. DO WE HAVE TO USE YOUR APPROVED VENDORS OR CAN WE USE ANY VENDORS WE WISH?

5. DO DIFFERENT DAYS OF THE WEEK VARY IN RATES?

6. ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL FEES I AM UNAWARE OF?

7. WHO WILL BE MY MAIN POINT OF CONTACT?

WEDDING PLANNER PHASE ONE

Five Reasons Hiring a Wedding Planner Is the Best Decision You’ll Make (Besides Saying I Do!) Going back and forth on whether you should hire a wedding planner? Another vendor, another expense? You’ve got a lot of decisions to make as you plan a wedding – don’t even think twice about this one! Hiring a wedding planner may be the single most beneficial move you’ll make during the wedding planning process. How can a wedding planner help? Let us count the ways!

Bring Your Dream Wedding Design and Vision to Life The level of overwhelmed you might feel when you’re newly engaged is truly next level. Planning a wedding requires many moving parts. From nailing down your colors and your style, to all the details you want to make your day so special, it can be hard to pinpoint exactly what you want, much less explain what you’re envisioning to the appropriate vendors to make it a reality. Your wedding planner has all the wisdom and expertise to help you articulate your vision and bring it to life! Having someone who knows the ins and outs of weddings can really help you decide what you want your day to look like and help you achieve it.

Stay on Track Throughout the Planning Process Keeping up with events, vendor meetings and deadlines for your wedding can be a full-time job (wait, don’t you already have one of those?) and can be difficult to manage with all the other things going on in your life. Having a planner to check in and remind you of important dates and upcoming events can ease the stress of an already chaotic season and make engagement and the wedding planning process more manageable and enjoyable! Keeping up with all the details of the wedding budget can be a daunting task, as well. Hiring a wedding planner ensures you have another set of eyes on vendor costs, tips and all other expenses to make sure you’re staying within budget while maximizing your spending.

Don’t Stress About the Schedule Creating a timeline for your wedding day is like choreographing a dance – it can quickly become complicated! You’ll need to consider multiple vendors and contingencies, while coordinating things in a way that makes sense for everyone involved. A wedding planner can help you navigate your day in a way that best fits you and your partner, as well as your vendors! Letting your planner handle the schedule and the inevitable issues that arise along the way means you, your family and friends can simply show up, soak in the day and enjoy it. By designating your wedding planner as the key person to handle any issues on the big day, you can focus on the

big picture. Let a professional handle the details and relish your wedding day, stress-free!

Reap the Benefits of Vendor Relationships Did you know the average couple hires more than a dozen vendors for their wedding? From your florist and officiant to caterer and cake, you could spend endless hours researching, vetting and communicating with vendors. Or, you could let your wedding planner make recommendations for vendors they trust, review proposals, read over legal contracts, manage communications and more. A professional wedding planner can offer insights and recommendations for vendors who can execute your style and vision perfectly. Your planner will also know what to look for when reading over complicated vendor contracts and can give you peace of mind that you aren’t missing any major details when signing with vendors. Vendor relationships are crucial – hiring a wedding planner means you’ll reap the benefits of their connections and helps ensure your team of vendors can all work together seamlessly.

Enjoy This Once-In-A-Lifetime Season Without a wedding planner, you can realistically expect to spend more than 500 hours planning your wedding. When you consider the time you’d need to spend making endless decisions, looking at spreadsheets, emailing vendors, dealing with the nitty gritty – what is that time worth to you? What else could you spend that time doing? Soaking up this season with the love of your life? Sounds good to us!

Hiring a wedding planner ensures you’ll have a trusted confidant, reliable friend and helpful resource along the way to your dream wedding, while you get to focus on the fun and exciting parts of being engaged. It’s a win-win!

Shopping for The Dress -Here’s a Cheat SheetWhen it comes time to start the search for the perfect wedding dress, all the styles and fits to choose from can be overwhelming. You may think you gravitate toward a certain style, but when you actually try it on – not so much. Or maybe there’s a style you’re considering, but aren’t sure if it will flatter your body type. No fear! We are here to help with our ultimate wedding dress cheat sheet, breaking down each style and fit!

BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

27

PHASE TWO

Wedding Dress Style Definitions A-LINE: Universally flattering and oh-so-versatile, the a-line silhouette is a solid choice for any bride. This style is flowy with skirt that gradually flares out from just above the hips.

MERMAID: A fun, beautiful silhouette, mermaid dresses are fitted from the bodice all the way to the knee, where they flare out to resemble a mermaid’s tail. A flare starting just above the knee is called a trumpet fit, while a flare starting just below the knee is a true mermaid fit.

SHEATH: Sleek and sultry, the sheath style is a gorgeous choice for the modern bride who wants something understated and form-fitting. This contouring style follows the natural lines of the body with no extra material or flare – typically straight cut with no seam at the waist.

BALL GOWN:

The ultimate style for the bride who wants to feel like a true queen. Ball

gowns feature a fitted bodice (the uppermost part of the dress covering the chest and back above the waist) and a very full skirt, flaring out dramatically from the natural waist.

28

BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

PHASE TWO

Wedding Dress Neckline Styles SWEETHEART: Often seen on strapless gowns, this style is ultra-feminine and versatile across a wide range of bodice materials. A sweetheart neckline draws attention to the chest and is suited well for medium- or larger-chested ladies.

OFF-THE-SHOULDER: This is a dramatically stunning style for the bride who wants to flaunt her décolletage in a lovely way. Off-the-shoulder looks can be seen on dresses from boho to ball gown. If range of movement is a priority, however, this might not be the style for you.

ILLUSION: Another beautiful option to accentuate your décolletage, the illusion neckline features a sweetheart hem with added mesh tulle acting in place of straps. Perfect for any chest size and practical, too.

BOATNECK: A timeless, delicate style best-suited for smaller-chested brides, a boatneck style pairs wonderfully with a chic updo to show off the shoulders.

STRAIGHT: A great option for both the modern and the classically chic bride. This style also works best for small- to medium-chested ladies.

V-NECK:

A wonderful option for the bride who wants to dance the night away and not

worry about her bodice holding up, this style also accentuates any chest beautifully.

PHASE TWO

Wedding Dress Train Lengths Don’t underestimate the wow-factor a train can add to your dress! Remember, if you’re worried about it interfering with movement after the ceremony, most trains can be bustled (if not removed completely) and blend seamlessly with your dress.

SWEEP OR BRUSH TRAIN: Just enough fabric to barely skim the floor behind you.

WATTEAU TRAIN: A true Watteau train attaches at the shoulders like a cape, but this style can also attach at the back or the waist as a detachable piece or as part of the skirt

CHAPEL TRAIN: A popular option, best for brides who do want a train but don’t want a ton of extra fabric weighing them down.

CATHEDRAL TRAIN:

A jaw-dropping look for a formal affair, a cathedral train will

trail several feet behind you for a dramatic look.

ROYAL TRAIN: The ultimate train for the most formal of affairs – fit for royalty!

We hope this wedding dress cheat sheet can help you as you’re looking for your dress for the big day. Remember, ultimately the choice is up to YOU and what you feel best in is all that matters. No matter what, you’re sure to look amazing!

How to Choose Your Wedding Photographer Once you’re engaged, one of the first tasks you’ll want to check off the list is choosing a wedding photographer! As the person responsible for documenting all the memories of your #bestdayever and delivering images you can look back on for years and years, it’s an important decision, no doubt. Not sure where to begin or exactly what to know when choosing a wedding photographer? We’ve got five helpful tips to guide you through the process.

02 01

PHASE TWO

KNOW WHAT YOU’RE WILLING TO SPEND. Quality wedding photography is not something to skimp on. Often, photography (and videography) can end up being one of the largest single expenses of your entire wedding. You can expect an experienced professional wedding photographer to charge anywhere from $2,500 all the way to $10,000 and beyond. Packages vary, but remember their prices factor in not only their creative talent, but their equipment costs, travel time and many, many hours of preparation and editing in addition to the time they’ll spend actually photographing your day.

DECIDE WHICH STYLE YOU FEEL MOST DRAWN TO. Photography, like any art form, can vary immensely from artist to artist. It’s up to you and your fiancé to decide which artistic style you like best, and let that heavily influence your decision.

Are you drawn to fine art photography? These photos tend to have more muted colors, less contrast, more brightness and cool tones. You’ll tend to see more posed, “still life,” artful shots. Often, fine art photographers use film to help achieve this distinct look. Because film has been around for generations, these photos will definitely stand the test of time, but film is also more expensive to shoot and requires a different skill set than digital photography, so you can expect to pay more for someone who incorporates film into their work.

On the contrary, many couples are drawn to a more adventurous and photojournalistic style – with less emphasis on curating the ‘perfect’ shots, rather documenting the day exactly as it unfolds. These photos tend to have more contrast, warmth and saturated colors. This style can reflect more raw emotion via candid shots and shots that capture movement.

Of course, not every photographer’s work will fall exactly into one of these categories. You’ll see photos with a combination of these and other elements.

Photography is subjective, so it comes down to identifying photos that elicit a heartfelt reaction from you.

Not sure how to nail down your ideal style? We recommend gathering several of your favorite wedding photos you’ve seen and assessing what they all have in common. Is it the lighting and colors? the emotion and movement? Which type of photos do you feel would better reflect your personality?

35

PHASE TWO

03 DO YOUR RESEARCH. When it comes to narrowing down your short list of photographers, you’ll want to rely on word of mouth (who have your friends used and loved? what are reviews saying?), Instagram (remember to use location-based hashtags to your advantage) and local photographer listings on resources like Brides of Austin.

Narrow down your list to 3-6 photographers. You’ll always want to have a backup, even if you have a favorite, in case that person is unavailable for your date. Peruse their websites and Instagrams to get a feel for their individual personalities. You’ll be spending essentially all day with this person on your wedding day – you want to make sure they’re someone you can be friends with!

Now’s the time to send inquiries and fill out those contact forms. Figure out what’s included in their packages. How many hours? Is an engagement session included? A bridal session? A second shooter? All things to consider and ask. It’s fine to ask to see a full gallery so you can get an idea of what the less frequently shared images look like – like their style of family shots, cocktail hour shots and reception shots. It’s also OK to request an in-person or virtual meeting.

Once you’re ready to sign the dotted line, read your contract very carefully and clarify any questions you have. What happens in the event of a reschedule (COVID-19, anyone?)?

What happens in the off chance the photographer comes down with something and can’t make it? If your wedding requires the photographer to travel, which costs are you responsible for? Will you get a print release, or are you required to purchase digitals and/or prints through the photographer? Protect yourself and your money as you finalize this decision.

36

BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

04

PHASE TWO

BE CLEAR WITH YOUR GOALS. Do you want these photos to be published in a magazine or online publication? Do you NOT want them to be published or shared? It’s important for your photographer to know these things ahead of time. It’s also a good idea to let them know which types of shots are most important to you – not specific poses or copies of photos you’ve found on Pinterest, but do you care more about the details, the candids, the family shots, or the portraits of just you two?

Bring your photographer up to speed on any potentially awkward family dynamics, and tell them if there’s anyone in particular you’d like them to pay attention to.

Do you have a grandparent you’re especially close with? Any family traveling from afar? Let them know so you can be sure and get photos with these people while

05

you have the opportunity.

TRUST YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER’S VISION AND CREATIVE INTUITION. Remember, you hired this person for a reason! Be open to their expert advice and let them work with your planner to create the day-of timeline. After all, they’re the lighting experts, and great photos depend a lot on great light. Time of day factors into this, as well as artificial lighting and the structure/directional orientation of your venue. Your photographer will be able to use all of these factors to help devise a timeline that allows for the best photos to be captured as you celebrate your commitment.

Don’t forget:

Once you’ve made a decision and hired a photographer, reach back out to any other photographers you’d inquired with and let them know you’ve gone with someone else. Don’t worry – there won’t be any hard feelings. They’ll appreciate the courtesy and will be able to open up your date for other interested couples.

CHOOSING A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER CAN BE A DAUNTING TASK, BUT TRUST US, IT’S ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING. HAVING BEAUTIFUL IMAGES TO CHERISH IS ONE OF THE SWEETEST PARTS OF THIS SEASON.

style and knowing which florists specialize in that style can help you know who to reach out to. From there, inquire on their website and be prepared to tell them your floral budget. As a rule of thumb, devoting 10% of your overall wedding budget to florals is common, but if you want to go all out with florals, go for it! Or if minimal blooms are more your thing, that’s ok, too – it’s just important to be up front with your florist about your desires.

Communicating your Vision to your Florist How do you communicate your vision to your florist? Your mood board, from Phase 1 can help! Your mood board photos can help communicate your vision well when you don’t necessarily have the words to describe precisely what you’re wanting.

That said, if you don’t have a specific vision for your wedding florals, it’s important to have an open mind and let your florist take the creative reigns! That’s why you’re hiring this person: for their talent, expertise and creativity!

Give them a starting point plus the freedom to create something uniquely beautiful, and you’ll be amazed.

Hiring a Planner-Florist Versus Florist Only It’s common these days for wedding planners to also double as florists and vice versa. Floral design and overall wedding design go hand-in-hand, and many of these vendors have incredible expertise in not only designing and planning the blooms, but the whole bash, too! Because floral design is such a large part of the event design, you’ll want to make sure your planner (who should be one of your very first, if not the first, hires you make) and florist are comfortable working together if you do book two separate vendors for these tasks.

Where to Spend and Where to Save on Wedding Florals Before hiring a florist for your wedding, you’ll want to ask a few helpful questions. Do they have a minimum spend you’ll need to meet? Do they have a separate delivery charge? What’s the latest you’ll be able to make changes to your order? After these questions have been answered, you and your florist should be able to have a much clearer picture of the total amount you’ll be spending.

At the very minimum, you’ll want to invest in bouquets for you and your bridesmaids, boutonnieres, corsages and perhaps an accent piece for the altar. Beyond that, you’ll be looking at table centerpieces, a large floral install for your altar area, accent pieces for various parts of the venue, blooms for the cake and cake table, floral walls, hanging florals and more! The options are truly endless when it comes to the ways florals can make a visual impact.

If florals are top-priority for your wedding, be prepared to spend upwards of 10% of your overall budget on blooms. Remember that larger installs also require more labor – often a team, not just one person – and will affect the price you pay. If you’re looking to save money when it comes to florals, you’ll need to scale down on size and intricacy. You can also save by using blooms that are in-season and more commonly grown/easy to order.

Curious about using fake flowers to cut down on costs? This is certainly an option, but keep in mind the high quality faux flowers that will make someone look twice to figure out if they’re real, are often more expensive than the real flowers themselves!

Floral Trends to Watch F L O AT I N G F L O R A L S – Hanging floral installations are guaranteed to make jaws drop! These arrangements hang from the ceiling and appear to float above your tables in mid-air.

P R E S S E D F L O W E R S – An easy way to add a feminine touch to your decor is by incorporating pressed flowers. These dainty blooms can be added to your cake, stationery or even your beauty look (think nails and hair!).

I M M E R S I V E I N S TA L L AT I O N S + P H O T O B A C K D R O P S – Think full-size tunnel walkthroughs, arches and walls, immersive installations allow your guests to experience the flowers, rather than just look at them!

B O L D , J O Y F U L C O L O R S – With everything going on this year, brides are looking to express joyful, exuberant, bold and colorful vibes to share an optimistic vibe for their long-awaited celebrations.

U R N S A N D P O T S – The classic and traditional urn is getting a makeover, being used with statement florals but in less stuffy ways, and potted plants allow for reusable decor pieces once the day has come and gone.

S U S TA I N A B L E F L O R A L S – It’s not just a buzzword. Sustainable practices in the wedding industry are becoming standard, and even more so within florals! Foam-free floral design, locally harvested blooms and recycling efforts are just a few ways wedding florists are making sure their practices are more eco-friendly.

WAXING There are so many different options when it comes to waxing. From your eyebrows, bikini area, legs, armpits, etc. How much or how little you want to wax is completely up to you!

Typically, waxing will prevent hair regrowth for about 2-3 weeks – enough time for one appointment for wedding and honeymoon.

OTHER AREAS: The eyebrows and bikini area are typically the two waxing options that most brides opt into, however, there are other areas you can choose to

Brazilian: This is the whole thing! Everything goes! This wax gets everything that a full bikini wax gets, plus those hard to reach places in the back!

If you are getting airbrush makeup for your wedding, a face wax is typically recommended.

When to Book: 5-7 days before your wedding; however, make sure you have had a trial bikini wax prior to the week-of to ensure you aren’t in pain!

NAILS Every girl’s favorite way to cope with stress… getting your nails done!

Getting a mani-pedi prior to your big day is a MUST!

TIPS: Leave the bright colors at home – neutrals work best! We suggest going for white or a baby pink color, so your hands aren’t in full-focus in your photos.

We recommend getting a gel or dip manicure and pedicure so you know your polish will last through your wedding day and honeymoon.

When to Book: 1-2 days before your wedding.

FACIAL We recommend getting your final facial prior to the week-of! Any of the options below are sure to make all the difference in your skin! Just be sure to give yourself enough time between the appointment and the wedding day, so your red skin can fade to its natural tone.

TRADITIONAL FACIAL:

CHEMICAL PEEL: A chemical peel is a facial where a chemical solution is applied to your skin to remove the top layers. We recommend doing a chemical peel about two weeks prior to your wedding.

When to Book: 1-2 weeks before your wedding

SPRAY TAN If you are planning on getting a spray tan, schedule it 2-3 days prior to your wedding.

TIPS: Don’t DIY if you don’t have to! You want to look and feel your best on your big day, and the last thing you want is an uneven tan.

Get your spray tan done after all of your other beauty appointments.

Tipping Wedding Vendors Just picture yourself making your romantic exit and you’re finally married to the love of your life! The last thing you want to be thinking about is if you tipped your wedding vendors, or even if you tipped them correctly. Whether it’s your wedding planner, your caterer, your valet and so on, you don’t want to be fielding questions or scrambling for cash on your wedding day. We’re here to simplify your life with a comprehensive guide to tipping your wedding vendors. This is your one-stop-shop for all things wedding tipping etiquette — with a few pro tips thrown in to make your big day even better!

BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

PHASE THREE

Vendor Tipping Etiquette When it comes to tipping your wedding vendors, not all vendors (and situations) are equal. What that means is that some vendors expect to be tipped, like your makeup artist, and others don’t require it but would appreciate the gesture, like your musicians, and others still that build that cost into their contract with you. For example, some vendors will need to be tipped and others will give a service charge. Not to confuse the matter, but having a service charge by one vendor — your caterer, for example – doesn’t mean you don’t need to tip the delivery person or even the wait staff.

POINTERS ON HOW TO NAVIGATE THE TIPPING PROCESS:

Remember to have the cash or checks prepared in advance for vendors being tipped on the day of the wedding.

4. You don’t need to tip business owners. ( WITH ONE EXCEPTION)

2. Check your contracts.

Vendors such as reception staff, caterers and venues who are providing day-of management, among others, often put service charges or gratuity in the contract.

Be sure to go through all your contracts to determine where that may already be covered.

64

BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

Traditionally, you do not need tip business owners. There are exceptions to this in the case of photographers who are both the owner and the service provider. In those cases, you may want to make the exception.

PHASE THREE

5. Reward excellent service.

Ultimately, tipping is about rewarding excellent service, not feeling compelled. The goal is to be thoughtful of the type of service that is being provided, to be aware of how different service providers make their money and give financial compensation appropriately.

Excellent service is when vendors go above and beyond the agreed-upon terms — this can be before, during or after the wedding, so keep that in mind.

6. Put someone in charge.

This may be multiple people or one person, but someone needs to be in charge of dispersing tips during the wedding day — as well as before or after, as needed. If you have a planner or day-of coordinator, they are the person you will want to designate as tip manager. If you don’t have a planner, think through the day and the process and enlist your wedding party or family to help with different vendors. The main point — don’t try to do this yourself because you have a lot on your plate that day.

BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

ENGAGEMENT

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS — These are used as a way to document the couple’s engagement and are often personalized in a way that showcases the couple’s love story. This is also commonly used to get comfortable working with your wedding photographer.

FIANCÉ —

The person to whom you are engaged. This can also refer to a man who is

engaged to be married, which takes from the French version of this term.

FIANCÉE — A woman who is engaged to be married.

It’s important to note that American English doesn’t have gendered word endings, but if you see these terms this is what they can mean.

WEDDING HASHTAG — Personalized wedding hashtags are used so that guests can follow updates from the wedding as well as post their photos and well-wishes from the event on social media in a way that the couple can easily find it. Some services will help you generate wedding hashtags. Example: #PartyWithThePerkins or #FinallyTheJacksons

WEDDING REGISTRY —

A service offered by a store or organization where a

couple lists their gift preferences for their family and friends to use. Couples typically choose 2-4 places to register for wedding gifts. This term can also be listed as Bridal Registry and Gift Registry.

WEDDING WEBSITE — A

personal wedding website is a website that engaged

couples use to communicate with guests for their wedding. These can range from free services to highly customized designs for a fee. Couples use these to tell their love story,

WEDDING PLANNING

share wedding details, gift registry information and more.

DESIGN

MOOD BOARD — Your mood board is something that helps you visually communicate your wedding inspiration and desired style. This can include images with certain colors or textures as well as physical items that you are inspired by. Your planner will often create a mood board with you. However, you can create your own and use it in your meetings with your vendor team.

PALETTE — This refers to the range of colors you plan to use at your wedding. You may get asked, “what is your color palette?” While you may have a single color in mind, you’ll want to have a range of colors that work well together. Your wedding planner or primary vendor can help you create this.

BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

69

LOGISTICS

RUN SHEET (OR RUNSHEET) —

This is a document that lists all the action

steps in the wedding planning process or specifically in the day-of process. This is something your planner or primary vendor, such as a day-of coordinator, will want to create together.

SHOT LIST — This refers to the list of desired photos you would like the photographer or videographer to capture at your wedding events. You will want to think through what types of images are most important to you.

FULL PLANNING —

This refers to wedding planning and coordination packages for

couples who want a full-time professional to oversee every aspect of their wedding planning and wedding day. This includes things such as vendor management, scheduling, marriage license, tracking RSVPs, creating the planning timeline and overseeing the big day itself, etc.

PARTIAL PLANNING —

This typically involves month-of wedding coordination

along with some additional planning services with a set number of hours dedicated to the client. This can be helpful for couples who want to be very hands-on but need professional coordination as the day gets closer.

WEDDING COORDINATOR — While most wedding planners offer coordination services, a wedding coordinator maintains contact with vendors and serves as a liaison for the couple. Many wedding coordinators offer month-of, week-of, and day-of services.

RAIN PLAN —

A rain plan is just what it sounds like. It is the backup plan in case of

rain and inclement weather.

ROOM FLIP —

This refers to when a room is completely transformed between the

stages of a wedding or event. The most common room flip example is having your guests leave the ceremony for a cocktail hour only to come back to the same room for the reception.

This is done to help economize for space and budget as well as to limit the inconvenience of needing multiple locations.

VENUE WALKTHROUGH —

A venue walkthrough is an appointment to see a

potential wedding venue, ask questions, take pictures and ultimately, envision what your event would look like there. All wedding venues encourage couples to schedule an appointment for a personalized venue walkthrough.

VENUE COORDINATOR —

This is the person at the venue that will book your

wedding, help with services such as menu and floral that are in-house services and make sure the event runs smoothly during your reception.

VENDOR MEAL —

This refers to the additional meals you may need to arrange for

the vendors that will be working at the event itself.

70

BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

IN-HOUSE —

This is the term used when additional services are offered by the vendor.

Most commonly this is used in relation to venues. They often offer in-house catering or floral arrangements services and event planning in some cases.

GOLDEN HOUR —

This is a photographer term referring to a pre-sunset time when

the natural light is ideal for taking wedding photos. The event time will play into when your wedding photos should be taken.

HARD-STOP —

The time at which your wedding festivities have to be over by and

WEDDING TYPE

guests need to be off the premises.

DESTINATION WEDDING —

This refers to a wedding that takes place in a

different state or country than the couple lives and often has the wedding party or guests staying with the couple for a weekend or more in that location.

ELOPEMENT —

While the term elopement used to indicate running away to get

married, now the term is most commonly used to indicate a purposefully small or paired down event. This could range from only the couple being in attendance to having a few friends and family.

MICRO WEDDING —

A micro wedding is a wedding or reception with less than 50

guests. One version of a micro wedding is to combine an elopement with a small reception.

INTIMATE WEDDING —

An intimate wedding typically has fewer than 75 guests.

This style of wedding is purposefully low-key, though that doesn’t have to mean casual.

DRESS CODE

BLACK TIE —

This dress code is for events

starting after 6 p.m. and is traditionally the most formal dress code.

BLACK TIE OPTIONAL —

This dress

code indicates that men do not have to wear a tuxedo and women have the option to wear a range from full-length gowns to cocktail dresses.

WEDDING PLANNING TERMINOLOGY

more. Many people also make their exit to fireworks.

THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE MOST COMMON WEDDING PLANNING TERMINOLOGY THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. Here are a few quick recommendations for learning the rest of what you need to know — Get comfortable asking questions. Whether it’s contract or pricing negotiations or wondering what the difference is between family-style and feasting-style is, it’s important to be comfortable asking vendors to explain the details. If you’re not clear on something, don’t be embarrassed to ask for clarification. Vendors are usually happy to explain.

Do your research. Our site has tons of helpful guides to help newly engaged folks just like yourself. Plus, there are many helpful resources online. Rely on your vendors for their guidance, but make sure you are staying up-to-date with the information.

Don’t assume anything. It can be easy to assume you and a vendor are on the same page but don’t do it. Don’t assume something is included in the contract because it seems like it would be or vice versa.
