Vanessa Minnillo's Wedding Planning Tips

Hopefully by now you caught up on Nick and Vanessa' s Dream Wedding on TLC- it has been playing ALOT. Vanessa shared her top 10 tips for wedding planning: Drum Roll:::

Wedding Tips from Vanesssa:

1: Try on different styles of dresses. Even if u know what u want, it may surprise u. Go for it all & be girly! Most importantly, HAVE FUN

2: I Love a “little” splash of color! I had a beautiful bouquet of gloriosa’s, BUT I didn’t put my matron of honor in a fuchsia dress.

3: Listen to your groom & have elements of what “he” wants in the Wedding. After all, it’s both of your day. Nick had great suggestions.

4: A welcome bag w/”personalized” goodies is always nice! We did beach towels w/their names embroidered, & all the beach essentials.

5: Make sure to take time before the wedding & spend it with ur fiancee. A night with a glass of wine, or a weekend away.

6: To save money: use venue’s place settings & glassware, but we brought in our personalized linens and chargers for a more custom feel.

7: If you can, have multi-photographers. We loved Yitzhak Dalal, & he brought 2 others w/him. There’s always more than one angle u want!

8: Consider weather when planning an outdoor ceremony. The ONE thing I regret is we didn’t have fans or a.c. at the ceremony.

9: Do something special for ur fiancee b4 the ceremony, a gift, &/or a hand written card. Let them know how u feel & that u Love them!

10: HAVE FUN! Once it’s the day of, try ur hardest not to let ANYTHING get in the way. You’ll regret it if u obsess about small stuff!

Enjoy!
