  • The perfect wedding timeline - how to plan a smooth wedding day
    Apr 15 2025

    In this episode of Your Wedding Unlimited, we’re diving into why a wedding timeline matters — even if you’re going for a relaxed, go-with-the-flow kind of day. Whether you’re team spreadsheets or just hoping for good vibes and no chaos, a solid timeline is the key to a smooth, stress-free celebration.


    Abby shares her take on:

    ✨ Why there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all timeline

    🧱 What the “non-negotiables” are when building your day

    ⏰ How to work backwards from your ceremony time

    🕺 Creative ways to plan the flow of your evening

    🌅 Why sunset times and travel matter more than you think

    🧀 And how grazing tables, photobooths and outfit changes fit in


    💡 Remember: your timeline is all about you – your priorities, your people, and the kind of vibe you want. There are best practices, but no rules (aside from the legal bits, of course).
