There is an undeniable energy on a wedding day. Yet, it's these couple of hours just before the ceremony that are filled with amazing anticipation. It's the final touches, ....dress getting laced up and buttoned, earrings, bridal shoes, and maybe a touch-up of some lipstick that add to the excitement.

Let's not forget about the guys! I can't even begin to tell you how may REAL bow ties I've tied, and how many boutonnières I've pinned on the groom and his groomsmen. And there's always the double and triple checking to make sure the best man has the rings. 

Planning a smart timeline for your wedding day is critical, but there are a number of things that occur prior to the ceremony that are so very important to managing that timeline. Whether you're planning a barn wedding within the Pittsburgh suburbs, or a banquet room reception in Cranberry Twp, Wexford, or downtown Pittsburgh, you want to have it well thought out.

When planning out your day, it really is best to cushion your time. If you end up with a little bonus time, it really is a bonus! A wedding day never drags, it flies! Take time to enjoy every moment!
