*A Quick Reminder:


Your wedding day isn’t a checklist—it’s a celebration of your story, your people, and your love. It will go by fast—so let’s talk about how to slow it down and truly soak it all in.

Tips for Being Present


Start your morning slow.

Play your favorite music, sip your coffee, breathe. Set the tone before anyone else’s energy jumps in.


Be intentional with your moments.

Hug your parents. Look around. Say “I love you” often. Pause before walking down the aisle.


Trust your team.

You’ve hired professionals for a reason. Let go of the to-do list and let us handle the details.


Step away together.

Sneak away with your partner during dinner or golden hour to take a few minutes alone. You won’t regret it.


Be okay with imperfection.

If it rains, if something runs late, if your veil flies off—laugh it off. Those moments often become the best stories.


Bonus: Mindfulness Ideas

  • Write each other letters and read them quietly before the ceremony
  • Do a 2-minute grounding breath before getting dressed
  • Look for one “core memory” moment each hour
  • Take all of the "mental pictures"
