    EEEEK!! Jamie!! What a gift to have a 'behind the scenes' look at our wedding! We were so lucky to have you and your team coordinate our wedding day. Thank you for putting out fires, making up for lost time, and ensuring that we and our guests were taken care of... WE LOVE YOU!

      Connie, you & Daniel were so gracious and selfless to Jamie and Robin (& me) on YOUR big day. Speaks volumes about who you two are. Many blessing of joy in the adventure you two have in store the next 50 years. "You're clear for takeoff."

    I think this video will have convinced anyone who watched it: if you're getting married, get a coordinator.
    You were solving problems and thinking about things.. that I wouldn't even have imagined could actually happen, you know?
    And that makes you think 'what if something like that would happen and I didn't have someone there to fix it??'

    Hi Jamie! You mentioned in your last video that you have lace table squares from your wedding that you are looking to get them out of your way. I am doing a vintage eclectic themed wedding - and have been looking for these!! Let me know if you still have them. Thanks - love you and your channel SO much!! ❤❤

      @tilarfifield2407 6 років тому +1

      Sindisiwe Sithole aww girl so sorry 😩 I have one problem bridesmaid and she is driving me nuts. I should’ve known before I asked her!! She’s not making the financial responsibilities of being a bridesmaid a priority and it’s very upsetting.

    • @hilarys3405
      @hilarys3405 6 років тому +1

      Tilar Williams the blog 'a practical wedding' has a lot of great bridesmaid advice and the comment section is very honest but kind. What do you mean by "bridesmaid financial responsibilities" and did you communicate your expectations when you asked her to be a bridesmaid? Today in the US the standard is that a bridesmaid will pay for their dress and shoes (possibly accessories) as well as the travel, hotel, and gift expectations of a regular guest. Professional hair/makeup/nails is not a requirement and if the bride dictates it she should pay. A bachelorette party or shower are not requirements, they are gifts, and as such the budget should be set by those hosting (i.e. not the bride).

    • @tilarfifield2407
      @tilarfifield2407 6 років тому +1

      Hilary S thank you, I will have to totally check out that blog! And what I mean is I’ve talked to her a handful of times about ordering her dress and she just keeps ignoring me. I actually work at the bridal shop we’re ordering the BM dresses from and she was supposed to come try on the dress while I was working Monday night and she never showed up. The reason I say “financial responsibilities” is because we’ve obviously spoken about who pays for what and deadlines and what have you. She knows that she needs to order her dress like, now. I’m frustrated because I’m seeing her blow her money on things like eyelash extensions, her nails and her hair and I’m thinking in my head “Okay really? Being in my wedding is less important than that stuff? That’s great.” Her lack of communication towards me is just making me feel like she isn’t taking this seriously and it hurts me not just as “the bride” but her long time friend.

    • @hilarys3405
      @hilarys3405 6 років тому +1

      @@tilarfifield2407 that sounds really frustrating, I am sorry that is happening to you! From sort of similar scenarios I have seen on the blog I mentioned the advice is usually that something else might be going on in your friends life (rather than a financial issue). Have you checked in with her about non-wedding related things? Starting a conversation with a genuine "how are you doing/what is going on in your life" and then addressing that you are hurt that she committed to being a bridesmaid but has been ignoring you and not following through.

Plus lots of vlog content for you. 😉 everywhere you look, looks like something off Pinterest. It’s a private lot with a private lake and I’m so excited for when we can finally start putting more actual planning into action.

    Thanks so much for posting this! My wedding is less than 2 months away, and I was worried that hiring a day/month-of coordinator was overkill since our venue has an onsite planner for the reception . . . I hired a personal planner to "be me" and make sure everything is set up and organized . . . after seeing this, I am very happy we did this.

As someone who is shy and is planning a wedding, I'm a bit worried about those little social nuances. Would you be able to make a video on how the bride and groom can make sure they're being good hosts to their guests?

    I've been having problems finding a venue here b/c we're looking for only indoor. hawaii is beautiful but it's way too hot sometimes :D
    It sucks because the venue we wanted to get another couple put the deposit up first. My fiance wants to go to a specific church and they are very strict about booking, one year exactly to the day. I just hired a wedding coordinator which I'm a little worried about but there's not too many wedding planners that want "locals" as clients. Since destination weddings are much easier for them.
