Align your wedding timeline priorities to include dedicated moments to pause, breathe, and savor the joy of being officially married.
Wedding schedules can often feel like a whirlwind, packed to the brim with activities and obligations. Couples easily get caught up in the frenzy of their wedding day, from getting ready, exchanging vows, posing for photos, socializing with guests, to dancing the night away. However, amidst all the excitement, it’s crucial not to overlook the most important aspect of your wedding day: spending quality time with your new spouse.
Carving out one-on-one time throughout your wedding should take precedence over crossing your fingers that it fits in between obligations. Designing your wedding timeline priorities to include moments together allows you to connect deeply amidst the wedding festivities. You don’t want to miss out on enjoying newlywed bliss.
Schedule Time To Be Alone After Your Ceremony
Alex Kilcoyne Weddings understands the significance of this intimate time for newlyweds. One of the first things I do when creating a couple’s wedding timeline is schedule 15-minutes of alone time immediately after the ceremony. This special moment is designed to give the newlyweds a chance to savor the joy of being officially married.
Here’s how it works: the newlyweds exit the ceremony together and head straight to a designated, private spot. In this seclude oasis the couple finds appetizers and their favorite drinks waiting for them. It’s special touches like these that help them relax and enjoy the moment. Initially, only the photographer is allowed to accompany the couple to capture their initial moments as spouses. Then, they are left undisturbed, with access restricted unless absolutely necessary. This quiet interlude often becomes the couple’s favorite part of their wedding day.
Include Alone Time Throughout Your Wedding Day
Away from the hustle and bustle of the celebration, couples can share a tender moment together. In these quiet moments they can reflect on the significance of their commitment and bask in their love. Whether it’s having a cheeky kiss, sharing a private joke, or simply holding hands, these precious moments help solidify the importance of the day and create loving memories that will last a lifetime.
Throughout the wedding day, I encourage couples to find opportunities to steal away together, even for just a few minutes. Whether it’s eating dinner together at a sweetheart table, a stolen moment lounging in the reception venue, or a couples private last dance before making their grand exit. These moments of intimacy help keep the focus on what truly matters: the love shared between two people.
Furthermore, I extend this philosophy beyond the wedding day itself. For couples hosting multi-day celebrations, I work with them to build in pockets of alone time throughout the weekend. My favorite suggestions are a private breakfast on the morning of the wedding, a leisurely stroll through the venue grounds ,or a romantic dinner for two after the festivities have concluded. These moments of connection help set the tone for a lifetime of love and partnership.
