It's interesting. When I compare how one couple plans vs another I can clearly see how culture, education and personality really affect how ones wedding is played out.
Here are a few suggestions to make your day as smooth as possible.
1. You are paying big bucks for your Hall, DJ, and (hopefully) your photographer. Use them. Ask their advice on when things should happen. ie. Ask the DJ to explain how he thinks the reception should be planned out. Ask the photographer when parent photos will be taken at each of the houses ..etc. -- oh yea - take their advice.
2. Be confident in your own opinion. If you envisioned your day to pan out in a certain way. Don't let friends or family influence you to change it based on their conveniences.
3. Let everyone in on the plan. Once you have mapped out the day (figuratively and graphically) email the plan to everyone. Include the entire day to everyone. You won't believe how sharing the morning schedule with everyone involved will generate new ideas.
4. Pack a care pack. Once about 7-8 years ago I shot a wedding for a great couple Claudia and Rick. (Lead to 3 other refferal weddings). Anyhow, she was so organized it scared me a bit. When some kids running around uncontrolably at the Etobicoke Centennial greenhouse. On of them ran over her dress and basically ripped the bottom off. After a small freak out session, she sent her maid of honour to the car for a sewing kit. Spent 10 minutes in the bathroom and proceeded to resew the dress.
5. Get your Bridal Party involved. This weekend we were at the Royal Ambassodor again (kicked ass). The bride was like a general. She told one person in the Bridal party to get the family together and bam, there they were. I remember a wedding a few years ago where all that could go wrong did. The bridal party was there in every case and the bride smailed all day.
