We had so much fun helping Grace + Colin along with their parents plan this luxurious and elaborate backyard wedding at Grace’s parent’s home in Carmel. We put out literal fires the week of the wedding and handled SO many curveballs. It was all incredibly worth it to make this perfect day happen for a fantastic set of families! A very large vendor team worked all week long at the family’s home to bring things together. See the magic below!

We LOVED every minute we spent with Grace, Colin and their families. So full of joy and hope. Grace and Colin have incredible style and such a fun vibe! Planning all these amazing backyard wedding details was so fun. It’s always an interesting challenge to use an existing space that is not meant for a wedding (tennis court for the ceremony & dancing). I am so proud of all the hard work our team and the amazing vendors below put into the success of this wedding.

Tips for a couple on how to stay stress-free while wedding planning
Planning a wedding is a lot of fun, but it can also be overwhelming. There’s so much to organize! But with a few helpful tips, you can enjoy the process and avoid stress in the lead-up to the best day of your life. Here’s our advice for stress-free wedding planning.
https://www.pexels.com/photo/monochrome-photo-of-couple-laughing-3692738/
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
There are two of you getting married, so that means two of you share the responsibility of planning the wedding. You’re embarking on a lifelong partnership, so this is the perfect time to put that teamwork into practice. Two heads are better than one, after all.
https://www.pexels.com/photo/planners-and-papers-811572/
Write out a list of everything that needs to be done, and then assign tasks fairly between you both. One of you might have a particular interest in the food, while the other might love creating seating plans. One of you might love scoping out venues, like researching what a wedding at a vineyard would be like, while the other might want to focus on fashion. Utilize your skillsets to make light work of your to-do list. Now’s the time to divide and conquer.
Make Time for Date Nights
Planning a wedding can become all-consuming, so it’s no wonder couples can feel nostalgic for their carefree dating days. You don’t have to lose that spontaneity or spark, however, just because you’re busy wedding planning.
Schedule date nights where wedding talk is strictly off-limits. This will help you both remember exactly why it is you’re getting married in the first place! Go to your favorite restaurant, or take a walk down memory lane at those special places where momentous occasions played out, like your first date, your first kiss, or even your proposal location.
Set Up Couple Pamper Sessions
Treating yourself to a couple’s spa day has so many benefits. You’ll get to unwind and de-stress, helping you let go of any tension. You’ll also get that glow that’ll help you look even more happy and relaxed on your wedding day. It’s a win-win. And when you spend time together being pampered it’s a wonderful bonding experience, too.

You could have side-by-side massages or facials or even go for hair treatment. This is another opportunity to stay stress-free whilst also prepping for the ceremony. You might want to change your hair color or simply get a trim. Whether you want to find out how to make hair thicker for men or how to perfect an updo for women, give yourself plenty of time to prep your hair – and skin – so you can look and feel your best on your big day.
Keep Talking
If particular things are causing stress in the wedding planning, make sure you talk it out together. You know each other better than anyone else in the world, so you’ll be able to help each other through.
https://www.pexels.com/photo/two-rings-on-opened-book-288008/
It might be that one of you is stressing about thinning hair – and the other will be able to help by researching how to make hair thicker for men. Or one of you is concerned about what wedding favors to choose – and the other will delve right in and come up with a fantastic shortlist of options. Keep talking to each other and sharing your concerns. You’re each other’s biggest support, particularly at this time… and your wedding planner is right there to listen and help, too!
With these tips you can stay stress-free while planning your wedding, and enjoy the process together.
