How many times have you attended a wedding and the Bride ends up running late or the passenger van hired to shuttle the guests didn’t show up on time. Or what about the time the cake designer got lost and the Bride couldn’t find her number to find out where she was. These are small examples of why Wedding Day Itineraries are important to keeping everyone on track and vendors accountable for their actions. Start your itinerary out with when the first vendor plans to arrive. Usually this would be hair/makeup providers and make sure each vendor being used throughout the day is on the list. Next, make sure on the itinerary the contact person, arrival time and phone number is listed next to each vendor. For the florist, ensure the time is listed for arrival time for the bridal party flowers, flowers at the ceremony site and flowers at the reception site. For the photographer, ensure all times are listed showing when they will arrive for pictures while getting ready, formal shots and receptions arrival. These are tips that will keep everyone sane and happy on the big day!
