Don't want a seating chart? Totally fine, though we *may* try to convince you otherwise depending on the scale of your event.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That said, if your heart is set on not having one, please please please consider having reserved reception tables for your closest family. They’ll likely be mingling the most and as a result will likely be the last to sit for dinner. Without saved/designated tables for them, it’s just about inevitable that they will end up at the back of the room. Then in quiet unison we will all shake our heads in disappointment at your friends who can't comprehend the etiquette of leaving those front tables for family in the first place😅

So - plan for the signs, typically 2-4 of them is best🤍🤍🤍🤍

I personify a lot of tangible items in my life. So I get confused when other people don’t too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Like…what do you mean you haven’t named your wedding dress? Your bouquet is too pretty to not be called by a given formal first name😂

Planning trend for weddings with the work I’m cu

Planning trend for weddings with the work I’m currently helping with - you haven’t hired your photographer for long enough, my friends.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So many couples have booked a base package with their media teams (photo and video) and while we might be able to make six hours work, it’s can be tight and make your day feel really fast cramming all the formalities.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Six hours is a great start though, I’ve found it works best for couples who have a small wedding; or maybe don’t have a wedding party; or don’t have a first look; or maybe documentation of their day is less important. For some, six hours is a valuable splurge for THE photographer that you desperately want but $$$ restricts the number of hours you may be able to have them on-site. I super hear that, btw😘
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s how we kinda calculate a photography package selection. Couples who are seeking a thorough narrative of their day and who do want a first look, we recommend at least eight hours of coverage. It’ll get some end of getting ready photos, your first look, and we can fake a sendoff photo to wave your photographer goodnight with one last really fun photo.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those who are seeking the full sheebang of getting ready all the way through sendoff at the end of the party, we are likely going to recommend 10-12 hours instead.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It can be a lot to keep track of, right? Don’t worry, if you’re a Peachy Keen couple then I am already catching and presenting these suggestions to you. Even adding one extra hour of time will go a long way. By chatting with your photographer and gathering their hourly rates, I’m able to help advise how many hours I feel might be most beneficial.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s ultimately up to you on how much of your wedding day story you want to be told through photos and videos though. We support whatever is right for your vision and budget🤍🤍

Shine bright like a diamond…or disco ball🪩 Do

Shine bright like a diamond…or disco ball🪩
Don’t underestimate the logistics of these things. They seem so simple, don’t they?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First of all, prepare yourself - they are more expensive than you probably realize. So if you hope to have a lot, know it’s a small investment to get the impactful sizes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get one size larger than what you think you need, once they are hung up it’s amazing how small they can seem, especially in a large space😊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who is going to hang this/these? I’ll tell you firstly that I don’t hang these for clients, so it ain’t me😂 in some cases where your florist is including hanging installs and it’s included in the design, they *may* hang these for you too (tip extra for that btw).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
…but honestly, the person that should really hang these is a lighting specialist. If you want the quality, as always, I believe you’ll want a pro. We will send you to the right people!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want these to operate, you need a spinner as well as a few pinpoint lights to help hit the ball on all sides as the spinner rotates the ball.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And finally, get the pinpoint lights on a dimmer. This way we can pull down the disco lighting during toasts so people don’t have speckles on their face in photos as they are speaking😉😉

You're getting ready off property, so how should you handle your first look? Most of the time, I recommend doing your first look at the hotel/location that you are both getting ready at that day. It's a great way to have portraits done in a different setting; you’ll have lots of photos at your venue later in the day😁It's usually quieter since your vendors are working hard to set up at your wedding venue and sometimes those ladders or even mic plug ins can be jarring😅 Plus, you can also commute together and react to seeing your space together, which is just oodles adorbs!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Extra tip for you - at the hotel I highly recommend asking for a corner room to get ready in, they tend to be a pinch bigger and bring in twice as much delicious natural lighting☀️
