It is often said that your wedding day will be the happiest and most magical days of your life. At the same time, it can also be one of your most anxious. As the details begin to mount, it’s easy to let the little things get to you. which is why brides are often encouraged to create a list of their top three priorities for their wedding day.
The idea is to recognize your top priorities and promise yourself that you’ll focus on these, and if the rest of the details go according to plan, it’s simply icing on the fabulously decorated wedding cake.
While many brides may list, among other things, topics such as the food, music and décor, we encourage you to consider the following while planning your Big Day:
1) The ability to be the hostess with the mostess. Weddings are one of the rare occasions in which all of your family and friends will be together at once. As your loved ones begin to arrive in town, they will surely want to spend as much time as possible with you. It’s imperative to delegate what you can the week of the wedding so that you can take the time to be the hostess with the mostess. Make this a priority to ensure that you will remember the week of your wedding as one in which you reconnected with your friends and family- and not as the one where you spent hours on your living room floor tying bows on favors.
2) Anticipation. It’s inevitable- things will happen on your wedding day. Perhaps shoes will be forgotten- or veil left behind. If you make it a priority to hire seasoned professionals with countless weddings under their belts, then you can rest assure that they will have a Plan B, C and D should anything arise. Better yet- they can anticipate potential challenges and meet them head on in order to avoid issues.
3) Relaxation. Between running errands, playing hostess and fine tuning the last of the wedding planning details, it’s easy to forget that a little time for yourself is in order. Our weekend wedding bride and grooms love, for example, that a couples massage is included in our package. Between all of the running around, be sure to include time for a little R & R, to guarantee that you’ll enjoy your big day that much more.
Ultimately, your wedding day will be one of the best days of your life. By incorporating the three above priorities, it is guaranteed that it will be as stress-free as possible.

One question that should be asked at every wedding venue is: How will your vendors be received? Will they offer any flexibility and accommodate the people and services that the bride and groom hire to enhance their day. Well at The Historic Mankin Mansion that is something we truly appreciate as vendors. We are received and accommodated professionally, politely and the place is fabulous. There are great venues out there, but will they work with the people that have been hired to add vaulue and experience to your special day. It takes a lot of people to make a wedding run smoothly and the attitude and professionalism of everyone involved is crucial. They understand that at the Historic Mankin Mansion.
