Getting Organized

Your wedding day is just that... one day. Enjoy it to its fullest.

Chances are you already have a wedding planner book. Your date is set. The reception site is confirmed, as is your photographer, florist and Jules Bakery for your masterpiece wedding cake.  Good for you. Still, planning a wedding is... involved to put it mildly. But oh, what fun if you get organized. We draw on our many years of experience with special event planning and chatting with the hundreds of brides who have graced our bakery to offer you these suggestions.

Seven Tips to Creating a Perfect Wedding

#1 Create a Vision. Create a vision in your mind of your wedding day. Forget the detail stuff and focus on the mood, the emotion, the dream. What do you see? Think in simple terms. Formal or whimsical, chic or casual, fancy or simple, subtle or rousing. Stay with this vision as it can help you answer many questions that can feel overwhelming.  

Tip from a Dad: Create a Master List of things that need doing during the wedding day. Leave it out for others to see and help. They can check off items that have been  completed without having to find "someone in charge." 

#2 Schedule. Do use your planner and follow the suggested time lines. The more details you handle early in the process, the less stressed you can be on your wedding day.

#3 Delegate. You don't have to do everything yourself! Get help with details from people in your life who want to be involved. Don't forget Dads. They are great at checking the list and making last minute confirmations. 

#4 Share. You have a vision of your wedding and even though you need the help of loved ones, you still need to be the one who makes decisions... unless a particular detail is not important to you. Helpers often have wonderful ideas to share, which could make your wedding even more awesome. Sometimes those ideas don't match your vision. Stick with your vision.

#5 Choose. Make decisions, but stay flexible because not everything goes according to plan. The vision is what is important. If it doesn't fit within your vision, don't do it. 

#6 Hire professionals. Hire those people with whom you feel comfortable and confident that they will follow your vision and dream. This includes the team of Jules Bakery. Our job is to follow your vision through to your wedding cake masterpiece.
The experience is perfection, not the details.

#7 Relax. You've scheduled, delegated, chosen and created your vision. Now it's time to sit back and relax. You have done everything you possibly can and now is the time to enjoy your wedding because you only get to do this once. You can work your stress off on the honeymoon.. Now it's time to experience your vision.
