Wedding Decor

After months of planning, it is time to pack up your wedding decor. All of your hard work is coming together beautifully. It’s time to pass off the baton! What will be helpful to your wedding planner will have an organization system and labeling system for your wedding decor. This will also help ensure that you aren’t missing anything crucial! Our recommendation is to put like items together. For example, ceremony decor in one box and reception decor in a separate box! Or you could even do it by reception table if you have a lot of decor items that you are bringing along for your wedding day. Having these items organized and labeled for your wedding planner will provide a smooth set up, that way your wedding planner won’t have to bug you while they are trying to dig through your decor boxes!

You’ll need to get yourself packed up and ready to go for the night before your wedding, the morning of your wedding day, and the night of your wedding day! Whatever your plan is, there is a lot that you need to consider here! Sleeping attire for the night prior to your wedding day & the night of, clothes to get ready in, any toiletries or hair tools for the morning of, extra clothes in case you need to change if an emergency happens, the proper shoes, any gifts you may have for your bridesmaids or Mama bear… etc. Give yourself plenty of time to gather all of these items so that you aren’t scrounging around the night before!
