GREG + AMANDA

From the Couple

Hire a planner, hire a planner, hire a planner! Choosing a planner that you trust and vibe with will make everything so much easier— they’ll know the area and best vendors to work with. Save yourself the headache (and possibly money, since a good planner will help you stay on budget, too). I'm a sucker for a good photobooth moment, and I'm so glad we decided to add one at the last minute; our guests loved it. Follow your heart on certain design or day elements that you really, really want. One of our favorite postwedding purchases was an electronic picture frame that cycles through all of our favorite wedding photos. I highly recommend it!
