Jess and Jordan - 10/26/18

Some words to describe Jess and Jordan's wedding?   Trendy. Bohemian. Sentimental.

The second I met Jess and Jordan, I knew I would love working with them. Their laid-back personalities immediately made me feel at ease, and their obvious chemistry and compatibility quickly got me invested in their love story. Not only did we connect professionally, but I definitely found some kindred spirits in these two. I always ask my clients, "What is your number one wedding day priority?"
When they answered, 'We want to eat as much food as possible - especially cheese,' I knew we would get along!

​While this couple had some beautiful and personal details, the little details weren't very important to them (Jess confessed that they were her biggest stressor, and really more of a nuisance). The core of their special day was the sentimentality of their union.
​As I get wrapped up in the lives of my clients and their families, I tend to get emotional when their big day rolls around - but Jess and Jordan's vows had me BAWLING! They were filled with words of respect, appreciation, and so much love. For me, they were the most memorable and impactful moment of the day.

​Not only did Jess and Jordan showcase their love for one another throughout the day, but they also made it a point to showcase their love for their families. I meet so many people in my line of work, and Jess and Jordan's families were truly some of the nicest people I've had the pleasure of working with.

What are some takeaways from this wedding? 
-Don't sweat the small stuff (That's what you hire a planner/coordinator for!)
-Take the time for some alone time. Even if it's just a few minutes snacking on some cheese between photos. It's not easy to stop and mentally separate yourself from all of the craziness going on around you, but you'll appreciate having those small, sweet moments of privacy when the party is over. 
-A great team can make a huge difference. Jess and Jordan picked an excellent team of vendors who were easy to work with and made their night flow perfectly. There's something to be said about hiring reputable professionals!

Here's to you, Jess and Jordan! I wish you both all the best!
