Anything else you’d like to share about your wedding?

Loved all of my vendors. Emily Jean Photography and Jenn Robirds Events were the best. We received compliments on the food, the DJ, everything went smoothly because of our vendors.

Any tips you’d give brides and grooms planning their wedding today?

  • Shorten your guest list, be careful with the guest list. Don’t invite neighbors with no guest count limit on it.
  • Don’t go crazy with the catering. We could’ve skimped more on the food.
  • Get a coordinator. That was one of the best decisions we made.
  • Not everyone will eat dessert, so no need to order extra, we had tons of left overs.
  • I would suggest a small bridal party. Ours in my mind was too big, although I loved everyone dearly.

What would you have done differently if you had the chance?

Lessen the guest list, lessen the cost for food, perhaps purchase a cheaper wedding dress. Other than that, we loved everything.

If you see him or think you might have, please message me immediately. Thank you to our amazing community for keeping an eye out and sharing. We just want our sweet boy home. ❤️🐾

How fun would camping with your guests be for your How fun would camping with your guests be for your wedding weekend?! You cannot @vidabuenafarm

Repost @vidabuenafarm 
The party doesn’t have to end 🏕️ This is what happens when you add camping to your wedding weekend. 

Your college roommates around a fire pit. Your cousins making s’mores at midnight. Your parents staying up way later than they’d ever admit. Everyone together, under the stars, with nowhere else to be.

No hotels. No goodbyes at 10pm. No splitting off into separate directions.

Just your favorite people stretched across 34 acres, soaking in every last moment of the best weekend of your life.

Vida Buena wasn’t just their venue - it was their basecamp

Dreaming of a wedding weekend that doesn’t end when the music stops? Link in bio to schedule your visit to Vida Buena

So you know what the top three things our featured So you know what the top three things our featured real weddings couples wish they would have done differently if given the chance? 
1. Nothing
2. Hired a videographer 
3. Hired a wedding planner!!!! 
Why? For all the things that @plannedbykd mentions in this post and more!

Every vendor at your wedding is silently hoping you hire a planner or coordinator, because it keeps the day smooth, organized, and actually enjoyable. And yes, your mom and best friends are amazing, but they deserve to be guests, not the emergency contact for timelines and logistics.

And sure, hiring a planner can feel like a big investment, but most couples end up saving money because of our expertise, honest guidance, and vendor connections. We help you avoid expensive mistakes, choose what actually matters, and stretch your budget in the smartest ways. You get support, clarity, and a wedding day that feels calm instead of chaotic, which is priceless.
