Congratulations on your engagement! You’re now in full-blown planning mode and ready to get this wedding in the books. As a Denver wedding photographer, I have spoken with countless stressed-out brides about whether they’ve planned the day well enough. Because I’ve attended so many weddings, I know some things that can make the day easier. Here are three wedding timeline template tips to make your wedding day smoother.

Wedding Ceremony at Sunset – Wedding Timeline Template

You might be planning your fall Denver wedding right now, and it’s important to check the usual average for your wedding date. If you’re planning an outdoor ceremony in the middle of the day, the lighting in your wedding photos can be harsh. Many photographers have tricks to fix this in editing. However, planning your wedding ceremony around the golden hour can ensure the best photos! A sunset ceremony has such a romantic and dreamy vibe that many couples opt for it to create the best atmosphere for their wedding ceremony.

Add Extra Time to Your Wedding Schedule

Your wedding is going to be the best day of your life. Unfortunately, there are factors you can’t plan for. Maybe your hair and makeup team runs a little late, or something unexpected happens. There might also be moments where you need a second to breathe because of the expectation of perfection for your wedding.  When you schedule buffer time, your wedding day will feel less chaotic. You’ll feel a little less anxious if wedding day events run over.

Share A Copy of Your Wedding Day Timeline with Vendors

As your Denver wedding photographer, I will be ready to go with the flow of your wedding. I know how most wedding days go because I’ve been a part of many of them. However, if I have your wedding day timeline, I can make sure that each of your desired photos is captured. The wedding venue needs a copy of your wedding day timeline as well. They’ll be making sure everything is ready for you. This includes the bridal suite before your ceremony and the ballroom for your reception. You can even appoint one of your bridesmaids or a family member to keep track of your wedding day timeline cards so they can answer every vendor’s questions. This way, you can focus on every second of your wedding day.

Don’t forget it’s expected to be nervous while planning your wedding day. However, I hope these wedding day timeline tips help ease some stress. Focus on this as the most special day of your life. Remember, all this is to show off your love for your bride or groom.
