Planning a wedding is no small feat — and with so many moving parts, it’s totally normal for a few things to slip through the crack. As a wedding coordinator, I’ve seen it all… so here are 5 things brides commonly forget (but definitely shouldn’t):

- A Pretty Hanger for the Dress
- Your photographer will definitely snap a dress shot. Don’t let a plastic hanger steal the moment. A wooden or custom hanger makes a HUGE difference in your getting-ready photos.
- A Full, Ready-to-Go Emergency Kit
- Think stain remover, double-sided tape, blister patches, deodorant, clear nail polish, and mini scissors. If you book coordination, I always bring one stocked and ready!
- A Plan for Who’s Taking the Gifts & Decor Home
- At the end of the night, the last thing you want is to be sorting through florals and card boxes. Assign a trusted friend or family member to help — or let your coordinator handle it.
- Meals for the Wedding Party
- Getting ready takes hours. Don’t let your crew get hangry! Pre-order breakfast or lunch to keep everyone fueled and happy.
- Time to Breathe
- Between hair, makeup, photos, and guests — it’s easy to forget to pause and soak it all in. Build 10 minutes into your timeline just for you two. It’s your day — you deserve to enjoy it.
Want help with the part most brides forget? That’s what I do best. Whether you’re planning it all yourself or just need someone to keep things running smoothly on the big day, I’ve got you.
