MAJOR TIP: you don’t need to invite everyone you know. Only invite the people you’re closest too in life ❤it’ll make the wedding so much more fun & you’ll be able to relax knowing you know everyone there
I never got married but I seen this tip before, create a wedding email so you can keep everything organized! Idk it’s so simple but good so everything is kept under one email and you know where to look for certain things.
It's wild b/c you weren't really talking about dating or even wedding wishes and wants in older vlogs...and then you met Payton...and now you're engaged!! Girl it is exciting and overwhelming at the same time! Just stay the course and do it the way you two want to do it 🙂 :-)))))))
I feel like a wedding is the best opportunity to have a huge party and invite a ton of people. You can always have a smaller intimate celebration as well
I had a smaller intimate wedding and it was PERFECT. So much more lowkey and I loved it. Made it so much more special when it’s with people you have done the most life with.❤
I just saw one of the most beautiful weddings. She lives in England, but I think you can get a lot of ideas from her. She gets into everything, from ordering her wedding dress to flowers, food, outdoor tent (although she doesn't call it a tent) and everything in-between. Her name is Josie, but her vlog is Fashion Mumblr. I hope you can get some ideas of where to start.
I’m so happy for you! I say get a rough draft of guest lists for both of you because that’s the main question venues ask when you try to tour, invite anyone you want because if it’s a big amount you’ll get some no’s which will make it more intimate and nice and if it’s a lot then you’ll get more help from your registry or $$, so guest list rough draft, venue tours and engagement part next if you’re doing that and then all of the fun stuff like little details, bridal shower and bachelorette party and maybe a beach in the cape ?
Congratulations on your engagement! We are planning ours and our wedding planner suggested to have an intimate wedding ceremony with close friends and family and then the reception is when you invite everyone else. It's a great way to get the best of both worlds!
Definitely pick the venue and date ASAP! i know this is a year out but you should absolutely have a day of coordinator!! a wedding planner is amazing but you need someone there on the day of your wedding to keep things organized!
so so so happy for you emma I have been watching you for years now . u always made me feel close to you and not alone in some way because we related to the same things and now I’m sad ur getting married for (my sake) LMAO BUT ima miss youuu 😢but that’s so exciting and beautiful for you ur about to start a whole new journey that’s going to be amazing to see Congrats on finding your love of your life!!
You should def get a weddding planner! I had one and she pretty much picked my brain and gave me exactly what I wanted without me even know what I wanted
I saw a tiK Tok where a bride talked about making a joint email address with her fiancé to keep all wedding related things (like emails from venues, vendors, ect..) in one place so things will never get lost :) also If you were planning on planning your wedding without a wedding planner I saw another RUclipsr buy a wedding planner book that helped her plan her wedding!
I just got married 3 months ago and the NUMBER 1 THING I wish I would have done was pay for a wedding planner. I’m super organized and type A but planning a wedding is just next level. It caused so much stress during our engagement and I wish I would have been able to slow down and take time to enjoy the engagement period.
Also, we went for a big wedding. I was so happy we did because there’s just nothing like having people from all parts of your life come together and just party and be happy. It truly made it the best day ever.
I had a small intimate ceremony and a bigger reception. Some family were mad that they were not invited to the ceremony. I definitely recommend do not have an open bar because that will be very expensive and you get the bill at the end. I had greek food catered it was fine sitting out, good for vegetarian and people with nut allergies. We had a lot of leftovers (sad didn't take any home), and family was able to donate the leftovers to a shelter. I recommend eating top tier of cake right away; I think it would be gross a year later. I hope you have a great week!
i feel like definitely pick a date/general time and consider a couple venues and see if they have that date available! I also planned a wedding that was just about exactly a year out from when I got engaged. I then started looking for a dress bc those take a while to come in and did engagement pictures and save the dates! The knot give a good general timeline of things to consider but I didn’t follow it exactly
when I got married it was really important to have a rough estimate of guests because venues have capacity and minimums and stuff like that. obviously you dont need a set list a year out, but having a number to tell venues so they know whether they can even hold your event is helpful. You dont want to book a venue for them to tell you to cut 20 people
I’m looking forward to seeing more of the wedding series etc that are would be neat if y’all did what they did in the movie jumping the broom had the wedding on the beach n having the reception in the backyard if that makes sense at all fabulous video
the Biltmore in North Carolina is a really beautiful venue - they have a really cute outdoor garden area that could give the backyard vibe but still let you have a bigger guest list
i remember u and maggie went to jugos so i legit went there in high school when i would go into the city lol it was so good tho, but congratulations on your engagement 🫶🏻
Emma at this point why don't you just go and hire you a wedding planner it would be so much easier because then you can sit down and talk to a professional and they will help you plan it all you got to do is tell them what you want how you want it to be and what you're looking for and they will do the rest that way it would take the stress off of you two trying to do everything yourself
Get a planner!! Ive worked with some amazing ones around boston since I am a makeup artist in the city!! Let me know if you have any questions/ need vendor recommendations
Great Work Guy’s! I’m So Happy Now Emma For All Of Us. Ok Thank You For Steering Me To Do The Right Thing. Meaning Being The Dad To A Handsome Son! I Don’t Want Bad Thought’s Only Good. Ok We Both Deserve Happy. You Opened My Eyes To Which Direction’s To Go. Believe Me This Was Difficult Puzzle. Hey, Only Strong Will Survive Honey. But I’m Extremely Happy For You & Peyton! Only Want You Too Be Happy. Thank You 😊
My biggest advice would be not to do the huge wedding and so the smaller more intimate chill idea. If I could go back in time I never would have done the big reception honestly. I had to go on zoloft while wedding planning bc the stress was so bad. And all my friends regretted it as well bc of the stress that came with it
If you have the budget, hire a planner. Otherwise, a good place to begin is with a color palette and mood board so you have a 1,000 foot view of the vibe. Guest list will determine your venue size. Securing the venue quickly is IMPORTANT. As far as caterers, entertainment, etc., a wedding planner will have the most connections and could potentially provide discounts and other perks. I'm so excited for you, Emma! One important tip: at the reception, you and Payton should get together and take a moment to take in the moment, look at your party and guests and be grateful because the day will zoom by so fast and will be a blur. Take the time to be present during your day. OMG that was so long, sorry. Love you!
I recently just got engaged and was clueless as well! First things first is picking a date and venue! Venue is important to get the day you want before it’s all booked. Once you have that, then wedding dress shopping and sending out save the dates! 🩷 so cute we’re engaged at the same time
Hey Emma! First of all congratulations!!! I recommend getting the wedding book by mindy weiss it is super helpful and has any tips that you will need 🤍🤍
ahh planning my wedding rn too, its gonna be this fall at caymus :) definitely recommend going the intimate route; you wanna look out and feel like you really know everyone there !!! 🤍
MAJOR TIP: you don’t need to invite everyone you know. Only invite the people you’re closest too in life ❤it’ll make the wedding so much more fun & you’ll be able to relax knowing you know everyone there

I super agree on this! My wedding is in a month and I am so stressed. I wish I had gone smaller on inviting..
I never got married but I seen this tip before, create a wedding email so you can keep everything organized! Idk it’s so simple but good so everything is kept under one email and you know where to look for certain things.
We did a small intimate ceremony and a huge reception party with everyone. Best thing we did !!! ❤❤❤
It's wild b/c you weren't really talking about dating or even wedding wishes and wants in older vlogs...and then you met Payton...and now you're engaged!! Girl it is exciting and overwhelming at the same time! Just stay the course and do it the way you two want to do it 🙂 :-)))))))
OUR BABY EMMA HAVING THE LIFE SHE DESERVES !!!!!!!!!!!
Rachel autenreith’s wedding series was so helpful!!!!
Yesss
i was gonna say the same thing!!! love her
I feel like a wedding is the best opportunity to have a huge party and invite a ton of people. You can always have a smaller intimate celebration as well
I’ve never heard anyone say they regret a small wedding - I have heard almost everyone I know who had one say they regret a huge wedding
Top 3 steps: Get a wedding planner, find venue, pick date.
I think The Knot is a wedding planning site that some people use.Congratulations on everything! So excited to see the new house and wedding planning!
been engaged for a year and have had a great time planning!!! steps: 1) venue + date 2) hire a planner 3) budget!!!!
I think hiring a wedding planner is worth looking into! They may know of venues that you never thought of 😊
You’ve grown up so much the past few years. So happy for you 🩷
I’ve literally been watching you since the very beginning. You deserve all the best. So happy for you Emma
Get a Wedding Planner!!!
I had a smaller intimate wedding and it was PERFECT. So much more lowkey and I loved it. Made it so much more special when it’s with people you have done the most life with.❤
Also YES I feel you on the good hygiene👏🏼 my guy has some great hygiene and WE LOVE THAT
So, so exciting! Such a fun time in your life. Hopefully Emma can go view lots of venues with you?
Rach Autenreith had lots of great wedding vlogs 😊
loving the hair length, looks so so good!
wedding destination!! and 1st step get a wedding planner. A MUST
Def recommend Rachel Autenreith’s wedding vlogs and her sister is an event planner!
I just saw one of the most beautiful weddings. She lives in England, but I think you can get a lot of ideas from her. She gets into everything, from ordering her wedding dress to flowers, food, outdoor tent (although she doesn't call it a tent) and everything in-between.

You can even have the ceremony live streaming for the guests at the reception so they can still feel as if they were there!
I would hire a wedding planner!! It’s a life saver 💖
Definitely pick the venue and date ASAP! i know this is a year out but you should absolutely have a day of coordinator!! a wedding planner is amazing but you need someone there on the day of your wedding to keep things organized!

You should def get a weddding planner! I had one and she pretty much picked my brain and gave me exactly what I wanted without me even know what I wanted
Lauren Giraldo documented her whole wedding process!! She’s super real too so she kinda goes thru the pros and cons
I love her advice to go out of the country where the dollar is stronger
It’s the subtle ring flash for me! Aaaaah loving your videos lately Emma.
Love you. Loved this vlog ❤
