You’ve spent months (maybe years) planning this day, pinning inspiration, booking your dream venue, creating spreadsheets, and staying up late imagining every perfect detail. But as your wedding day gets closer, the nerves creep in. What if something goes wrong? What if it rains? What if the flower girl forgets to toss her petals?

Take a deep breath, bestie - your wedding day isn’t about perfection. It’s about peace, presence, and joy.

Here’s how to protect yours 👇

🍍 Hire a Planner (a.k.a. Your Wedding Day Advocate)

If you don’t have a planner or coordinator, you become the planner — and that’s not how you want to spend your wedding day. You deserve to sip champagne, not stress about why Aunt Suzy forgot to put the bows on the chairs or missed the cake topper.Hiring a professional planner means someone else is handling every detail, big and small. We’re there to execute your plans, fix the hiccups, and make sure your only job is to celebrate.

💐 Trust Your Vendors

I can’t say this loudly enough — trust the people you hired. You chose them for a reason! Your photographer knows what moments matter most (and will capture that unlisted shot you forgot). Your DJ has your “absolutely no taylor swift” playlist covered. Your florist? They’ve got your vision handled petal by petal.

When you release control, you gain peace.

(And yes — we’ll have a whole other blog post about how to choose and trust your vendors, because that’s a big one!)

💌 Be Transparent About What You Want

Your planner and your vendors can only bring your vision to life if they truly understand it. Be clear and honest about what you want and what you don’t want before wedding day.

Communicate your priorities, your must-haves, and any small details that matter most to you.

For your planner especially, this helps us advocate for you and ensure every piece of your plan comes together exactly how you envisioned. That way, when the big day arrives, you can simply show up, take a deep breath, and release control knowing it’s all handled.

🌦 Control What You Can, Release

What You Can’tThere are so many moving parts on wedding day : weather, traffic, family dynamics, timing and not everything is within your control. The key is to focus on what is within your control (like hiring the right team and communicating your priorities) and let your planner handle the rest.

If something doesn’t go exactly as planned, you’ll still get married, dance with your favorite people, and end the night hand-in-hand with your forever person e and that’s what truly matters.

🕯 Build Calm Into Your Timeline

Ask your planner to carve out quiet moments. Ten minutes alone before walking down the aisle. A private cocktail and appetizer moment with your new spouse. A deep breath before you join your reception.Those little pauses are what make the day feel intentional not rushed.

🗒 Prep for Peace the Week Before

The week before your wedding should be about excitement, not chaos. A few ways to set yourself up for calm:

• ✅ Ask your planner/ vendors to do your final planning details calls before wedding week. Save the week of for any beauty appointments and hanging with friends/family coming into town.

• ✅ Have all your final vendor payments and tips ready to hand off to your planner.

• ✅ Gather your detail items (invitation suite, rings, perfume, shoes) in one place for your photographer.

• ✅ Don't do your DIY projects or putting gifts together the week or day before your wedding. Plan ahead!

• ✅ Schedule a massage, manicure, or solo walk to ground yourself before the big day.

• ✅ Delegate last-minute errands to a trusted friend or your planner’s team — not yourself.

• ✅ Go on your last date before you are a married couple! ( I swear by this one it helped me when i got married)

Little steps like this create space for joy instead of stress.

💛 Soak It All In

You won’t get another day quite like this. It’s the one time all your favorite people are in the same place, celebrating you.Let your planner, your vendors, and your wedding party take care of everything else. Let go of the “what ifs,” and fully step into the joy of being present.

Because when you focus less on perfection and more on presence that’s when the magic really happens.

📸 What You’ll Remember

When you look back on your wedding day, you won’t remember if the candles were perfectly spaced or if the DJ played one song out of order. You’ll remember your best friend tearing up during the ceremony, your grandparents dancing to their song, and the moment you realized, this is it. Protecting your peace isn’t just about logistics. It’s about allowing yourself to feel the magic of the day.
