Today on The Bride Link, you can find out exactly what you need to pack in your wedding day emergency kit! For a quick cheat sheet, get your FREE copy of our Wedding Day Emergency Kit List! 

To be as prepared as you can be for your wedding day, it's best to create two different types of kits. Today, we're addressing your Set-Up Kit, which lists everything that your set-up person should have while decorating for a wedding. Also called your decor kit, it helps solve easy problems as soon as they pop up. If you've opted to have a friend or family member do your wedding decor, they'll have access to common items and won't need to bother you, the guest of honor, while you're getting ready on such an important day. We discussed building your Personal Kit on a separate blog, which focuses on what you need on hand while getting ready. It's full of items like bobby pins, hairspray, deodorant, and that's for you as the...

Wedding Day Emergency Kit - Personal Kit

Today on The Bride Link, you can find out exactly what you need to pack in your wedding day emergency kit! For a quick cheat sheet, get your FREE copy of our Wedding Day Emergency Kit List!

You should be ready for anything on your wedding day, especially for an emergency! That's why we suggest creating a wedding day emergency kit and have it close by just in case you need it. To be as prepared as you can be, it's best to create two different types of kits. Today, we're addressing your personal kit list which has everything that you should have within your reach. We'll discuss the second kit on a separate blog,  which will be your setup kit or your decorating kit. Your setup kit is more for the person doing all of the decor/setup. The big reason why we have two separate kits is to ensure you are the guest of honor on your wedding day and not lead decorator/problem solver as well.

We always recommend hiring a day-of coordinator,...

How to Decide on the Right Decorations for Your Wedding

How big should the centerpieces be? What accent colors do we use for the banners and signs? Are my vintage decorations worth the additional cost? These questions and a million more like it run through the head of couples trying to plan their perfect wedding. Most brides begin visiting venues with no idea what decor they plan on using or where to start. Take a few minutes to stop and think about decor before you start touring potential locations! Having a few basic concepts already decided can help narrow down your choices. So, where do you start? 

1. Make a Budget

What do numbers and math have to do with your southern vintage-inspired dream wedding? More than you think! Setting clear boundaries on what you can afford (for the whole wedding) is the best place to start. Once you have a figure set, decide what percentage you want to set aside for decor. You're not determining how much to spend, you're just...

COVID-19 Action Plan for Weddings and Events

We have gathered some suggestions to help you navigate the pandemic situation and created a COVID-19 Action Plan for Weddings and Events we wanted to share with you. Our advice is only advice, so please consult a lawyer on legal questions.

• Event insurance is not currently available, but consider getting event insurance in the future if your date is far enough into the future.
• Contact vendors you work with to make sure you are on the same page about how to handle cancelations and especially postponements.
• Review your contract to see if you are entitled to a partial refund or a full refund if you cancel. If you postpone, see what restrictions or penalties you have listed in the original contract.
• Start with your venue and then contact your wedding pros that will be the hardest to rebook (for example, a caterer may do 5 events in a day but a venue only does 1).
• Limit in-person meetings and switch to phone meetings only if possible.

Why You Should Prep for Your Wedding Day Photography

A common mistake many brides make is not creating a wedding picture list. Not sure what that exactly is? The Bride Link and Ben Moser from Knox Wedding Creative are here to help! Your picture list is simply a list of shots you want your photographer to capture on your wedding day.

Why Your Wedding Photos Shouldn't Only Be Digital

In this digital age, it's so easy to see a picture once on your phone, forget it, and never look at it again! Wedding album designs that make layflat photo books beautiful and engaging are becoming increasingly popular with couples. Wedding album printing and professional photo books help relive some of the most incredible moments you'll experience.

Displaying your printed picture or photo album makes the images more likely to be viewed, and more often. If you keep all your event or wedding shots exclusively digital, they can be permanently lost or deleted if not backed up properly. We also already spend so much time looking at our computer, phone, and TV screens. 

Treasured memories deserve only the best. Bringing together exquisite materials and bespoke designs in a physical collection of images can be stunning! Create albums about your entire event or albums that focus on you and your...
