Spring Wedding Timeline
Let's start with a little disclaimer. Wedding timelines are not all created equal. You will likely have to make this one into your own version to compliment your day. This is built for a 10 hour wedding day.
Have a backup plan for your outdoor wedding
Yes, I am sure you have heard this a trillion times, but weather is unpredictable. If you live in the south during the spring it is especially unpredictable. You will want a back up plan in the case of rain and inclement weather.
