Tips For An Amazing Richard Nixon Library Wedding
Below are just a few tips to ensure you have an amazing wedding at this Orange County wedding venue.
Go Unplugged
I highly recommend going unplugged for your wedding day. At least for your ceremony, that is. An unplugged ceremony is essentially when your guests are asked to not use any phones, cameras, or electronic devices during the ceremony. This not only has your guests be more in the moment but limits the distractions for them and you. This also allows your wedding photographer/videographer to do their job will little to no distractions in your final images!
Don't Sweat The Small Stuff
Okay, this going to be hard but I encourage you to not sweat the small stuff. Coming from a Los Angeles Wedding Photographer, I have witnessed a lot of wedding days. Some more chaotic than others and the one thing that couples always tell me after is that they wish they had focused more on being in the moment. Being in the moment allows you to cherish every minute and second of such a beautiful day. We have to accept the fact that we may not have control over everything... and that's okay. Setting up backup plans and hiring vendors whom you can rely on will be just enough to ensure that your wedding day runs as smoothly as possible. Embrace every moment, even the ones that may not go your way. You will appreciate it in the long run!
Consider A Reception Outfit Change
Something that many couples "regret" not doing on their wedding day was doing an outfit change for their reception. Now, to be frank not everyone wants to do this and that's totally fine! At the end of the day it's your wedding day and you can do whatever you want. However, if you're looking for comfort and style after being in your dress/tux/heels/shoes all day then I would suggest considering a reception outfit change. You are able to change looks, feel more comfortable and get some variety for your reception photos which is always fun.
