I hope you all enjoy these wedding tricks. I used many of them for my own wedding :) If you're hoping to make your wedding budget spread as much to your visuals as possible, these will do just that!

What we are doing is repurposing our bridesmaids bouquets for the center pieces. We figure they will really only need them for the ceremony. So glad we are doing things that way!!

Cavin, I’d just like to say that I love listening to your videos. Not only are they very informative and helpful in planning my upcoming wedding in July, but your presentation, pacing, and tone is very pleasant to listen to. Your style is great, and you always look so well put together. I’ve watched almost all of your wedding videos already, and your tips are fantastic. Going into the final few months of wedding planning, I feel so much more prepared and informed thanks to you!! I appreciate your work, keep it up!

So many great tips in this video, thank you Cavin!

Great tips! Thank you! I loved the cake and invitation tips, especially! I hadn't thought about doing that!

Good advice. Wish you would ponctuate your video with photos to illustrate what you are talking about.

Great video! Congrats on your new bridal store! I'm currently planning my wedding and asked two decor companies if they could re-purpose/move the flowers from the ceremony to the reception. One company said of course, and the other said absolutely not.... safe to say I picked the one that was super flexible and willing to move everything and anything around! I'm currently figuring out the escort cards and couldn't agree more that they look boring just sitting on a table with no dimension.

Your videos are so so informative. I love them :)

These are GREAT GREAT tips!

Great tips - Thank you for this video! You touched on wedding cohesion - I really want a romantic and chic wedding style with the tiniest hint of whimsy. but I'm now worried my dress won't work with the style! I have what I think it's a kinda classic, kinda modern, kinda romantic kinda elegant dress - basically I have idea. Can you please do video of the different types of dress styles and how to match them to wedding/floral styles?

Dollar tree had mini crates that are about 6 or 8 inches long and about 2 inches high that could give depth to the escort cards

Hello again Cavin! Rewatching this as I found it so helpful the last time. Our venue is a fixed octagon shaped marquee with off white draping and windows/doors. It's perfectly fine, except above its extrance and exit, there are ugly/bulky air conditioners! I considered getting piping and draping with curtains tall enough to hide these but we can't really stretch our budget to have them and I think they'll look pretty out of place especially if the curtain colour doesn't work with the draping. We're getting floral columns at both the entrance and exit so there'll probably be lots of photographs of people coming in and our entrance as a couple as well will be ruined by these air conditioners! Would it be weird to ask our photographer to avoid the top where the ACs are when she's taking photos?

Great tips! What about lighting?

Hi, what are your thoughts on silk flowers or dried flowers? Do they photograph well?

Informative video, but there was too much talking. Please add some photos/video proof of what you're talking about in future videos 🙂

I don't understand the last one. Maybe someone can explain the motivation to me? You didn't send out fancy hand-calligraphed invitations, but you want pictures of something very fancy to pretend like you did? Your friends and family will see the photo and know that you didn't send them one that looked like that... so who is that photo for?
