So many brides, grooms, mothers and even other wedding vendors ask me how their wedding day will flow. There is a “typical” timeline for a wedding reception. However, every couple is different and events can be rearranged to suit your personal style. One trend I am noticing is the cake cutting occuring almost immediately after dinner rather than during the last half of the reception. With every bride and groom I work with, I supply them and all of the vendors a timeline. The key to every reception and timeline is to be flexible. Your ceremony may not start precisely on time or toasts may take a little longer than you planned (especially when Aunt Mary gets started on the “she was such a sweet baby” stories). Don’t worry! You always recover time. Enjoy your wedding day…it goes by faster than you think.

Yesterday’s wedding was so beautiful and personal. Amy & Todd were married at Chapel in the Garden in Port Orange with reception following at the Chart House in Daytona Beach. I love weddings at Chapel in the Garden. Always feels so intimate and provides amazing pictures. Amy chose light blue, brown and white has her wedding colors. Bouquets of white tulips gave a touch of spring. Thank you to Mark Dickinson Photography for capturing all of the special moments!
