Wedding Fun Fact Friday: Every year, destination

Wedding Fun Fact Friday:

Every year, destination weddings become more and more common. Whether it be international or domestic, remember your guests are coming from near and far. There are many things you can do to make them feel more comfortable and appreciated for joining in your big day. Today we are highlighting a key way to express gratitude to your guests, wedding welcome bags. Check out L3's list below for recommendations and what to include!

-Water bottles: Most hotels don't provide these for free so be sure to include a couple of waters.

-Gum/mints: When attending wedding events, a minty-fresh item always comes in handy.

-Snacks: Chances are there are multiple events guests are attending and may need a little snack to tie them over until the next get together. If you are having an international wedding, provide snacks from that region!

-Coffee bags/Tea bags: Often in hotels it's hard get your hand on a tea bags or coffee. If you have South Asian guests, tea bags are a must!

-Thank you card/wedding events itinerary: It's always helpful to provide one more guide with the events of the weekend on hand.

-Bonus tip: If there are any kids attending your wedding, we highly recommend making a kids version of the welcome bag including snacks, toys, and coloring activities!

What additional things do you recommend adding to welcome bags?

As you begin wedding planning and locate a venue,

As you begin wedding planning and locate a venue, naturally next steps are to begin signing your other vendors for your big day.

L3 recommends the following when looking for vendors:

1. Ask your venue for their preferred vendor list. This is important because your venue will typically only recommend vendors that they have seen be professional, timely, responsible, and effective. Also, you'll know that these vendors have seen the space, are familiar with the layout, and will be familiar with any nuances of the venue.

2. When you find other vendors, ask them if they have worked at your particular venue before? If not, ask them to go scope it out before the big day in order to ensure familiarity with the space.

3. Ask your friends and family for referrals. This is helpful because you'll get first-hand trusted testimonials which will help guide your decision.

4. Lastly, ensure that you have good chemistry with your vendors. Wedding planning can be stressful as is! If you don't feel a good connection, communication, or chemistry with those vendors, it will only be more stressful!

During this pandemic, there are multiple measures

During this pandemic, there are multiple measures we could be taking in order to promote a safe environment for guests to be able to comfortably enjoy your wedding weekend. Outside of the standard precautions, L3 is highlighting two new precautions that couples have for COVID-testing so guests can feel even more at ease and enjoy the wedding environment.

(Disclaimer, we are not medical professionals however, we are happy to provide options).

There are 2 different types of tests available currently: PCR and Rapid Test.

PCR: Guests will do a COVID saliva test that is sent to them at their home and then sent back in to the clinic. This happens within the weeding week but it is a huge lift for our wedding couple.

Rapid tests on site: This occurs on site and guests are informed that they will be required to do an onsite test. This process does not allow guests to bring a negative tests. Rather, all guests will be required to complete this on site. Each guest registers on site with a QR code then socially distances and awaits their results. This process will typically take 15 mins (estimated). If they pass the test, they are given a bracelet that signifies that they passed the test. All results are discretely given and privacy is kept intact.

Pricing for wedding guests for COVID tests can fluctuate from $129-$180 per wedding guest.

L3 recommends the following vendors: @totalmens @anyplace.md @eventscan

Have you tried either one of these processes yet?

Today on MLK day, we want to talk about a very important topic: equality. Equality in both our personal and professional lives is something that Dr. King believed in for all. Equality is something we are all responsible for promoting, encouraging, and representing.

In honor of Dr. King’a dream and the #BLM movement, we are highlighting wedding designers of color today! The problem is not a lack of talent and stunning designs, but rather, a lack of representation and exposure.

Check out our top 6 recommendations tagged and comment below on which is your favorite!

Wedding Fun Fact Friday:

In today's pluralistic society, we often attend wedding ceremonies that are multi-faith or ceremonies that are in a different language. This is beautiful because it means that we are truly promoting an inclusive culture and a stronger sense of acceptance in the world around us. One way to make these ceremonies even more engaging for wedding guests (of all backgrounds) is by including a brief description of your wedding ceremonies in your wedding ceremonial program.

This description should include the following:
- Significance of the ceremony
- What occurs during the ceremony
- Who participates in the ceremony

This is a simple touch that can continue to promote diversity and love, which always wins! Etsy is a great place to find these!

Wedding Tip Tuesday: When planning for a wedding

Wedding Tip Tuesday:

When planning for a wedding there are many things you plan for ahead of time and wedding photo-lists is not often one of them. Remember that on your wedding day, it is important that you get all the photos you want. This day will never return! So the best way to do this is to prepare a list of photos you'd like for your photographer to take ahead of time, by day/event, whether they request it or not. See the lists below on examples of photos and ways to organize your event photo lists! Also, remember on the day of, you may not remember these things (naturally) so planning ahead will be key!

Examples of photos by event/day:
-Any decor out of the ordinary (ex: a photo of the grandparents on the entry table)
-Symbolism of things that were only known by you (ex: a photo of your deceased family member in your bouquet)
-Bridal party (ex: any particular poses or locations you like)
-Family members (ex: all cousins on the stage for a group photo)
-All guests should get a photo on X day
-Getting ready photos with both mom's
-Card's the bride and groom wrote to each other
-Sibling photos from both sides
-Message written on your shoes
-Sparkler exit with bride/groom kissing

Your wedding planner can be a huge help here as well! Happy planning!

Wedding Fun Fact Friday:

Did you know that most weddings are approximately 1-3 hrs behind schedule?

Today, we are highlighting a company that a few of our brides have used, and speaking from experience, this simple feature was a key reason for the timeliness, organization, and strong communication during the wedding weekend.

The company we are highlighting for fun fact Friday is called, Wed Texts (www.wedtexts.com). Wedding text messages perfectly complement all of your wedding events by bringing wedding communication into the future. This app can keep your guests in the loop so they don’t miss out on one minute of your wedding celebrations! Using WedTexts for your wedding communication will keep your guests talking about your wedding for years to come!

Whether it is for communication on shuttles arrival/leaving times, directions for parking, reminders on what to bring for the ceremony in bad weather, schedule reminders, or even just to thank guests for joining their celebrations, this app is a wonderful investment and is any Type A brides dream come true! Additionally, it allows you to have all guests upload their photos in a centralized place for you to view while you wait for your professional photos to arrive.

We all know (especially in South Asian weddings) a little timely assistance could not hurt! lol 😅

Have you ever used a similar app? What are other organization fun facts you can share?

Today for L3's Wedding Vendor Wednesday, we are featuring a few of L3's favorite cake topper companies/sites.

Cake's and cake toppers are one of the wedding elements that can be as big or as little as the bride/groom prefer. When planning for a cake topper, remember to have fun with it and look for ways to show your personality.

1. Mini customized bobble heads: https://www.bobblegr.am/
Create a miniature figurine of you and your spouse in whatever attire you choose. These figurines look very human like, exact match of your features, and can be enacting whatever movement you like.

2. Etsy: https://www.etsy.com
On Etsy, you can create any customized cake topper with your first names, last names, hashtags, etc. These toppers are extremely elegant and come in multiple color schemes, sizes, or designs. You can get it to match your name cards or your backdrop.

3. Floral themed: Personally, we will always be a fan of the floral arrangement on a beautiful cake. It is timeless, a beautiful talking piece, and will photograph extremely well.

Swipe through to see some samples of each. Tell us what your favorite topper or cake decor style is?

Wedding Tip Tuesday Post:

Wedding colors can be a very tough decision to make. There are lots of elements to consider when making this decision. See our L3 top 5 things to consider when picking your wedding colors below. Swipe right to see a few seasonal schemes that we love and highly recommend!

1. Don't pick more than 3-5 colors. Really 3 if the magic number here. Less is more when it comes to color palette selection for your venue.

2. Pick colors that naturally compliment or are present in your venue. If you pick colors that are already present in your venue, you will simply be adding a few decor pieces to enhance these colors. (For example, greenery). If you do not, you will be spending a lot of your budget on trying to change the look and feel of the venue.

3. Think seasonally. Remember the time of the year is a very important factor to consider. You don't want to plan a winter wedding with bright colors or choose an overpowering dark color for summer weddings.

4. Look for colors you are naturally attracted to. Remember you will look back on these photos for life. So pick colors that you would find in your home or wardrobe. If it is a color that shows up often in your life, you will be less likely to look back on your photos to ask yourself, "What was I thinking"?

5. Don't over think it! It's important not to get lost in this detail as many vendors will ask you this question. Pick a few tones that you know you want to be the prominent colors. Then slowly add in a couple of complimentary hues to add a little contrast to your main color. Your decorator can be a huge help here!

Which color scheme is your favorite?

2020 Was a tough year for many businesses, including the wedding industry. A year where we managed through the unknown, spent more time with family than ever before, and had to learn new ways of supporting our customers that we never imagined.

Wedding planning can already be very stressful. Then you add in the cancellations, extensions, smaller ceremonies, venue restrictions, etc. Our hearts go out to all the brides and grooms of 2020. We know it was a tough one and we want you to know that we are thinking of you!

Cheers to 2021. A year of hope, change, growth, success, quality time, and most importantly good health for everyone.
