Wedding party or no wedding party? It’s one of the trickier calls, and a lot of it comes down to conversations couples are dreading.So we asked seven of our vendors how they’ve watched couples handle it well. A planner, a venue, a florist and four photographers, all of whom see the results up close.What’s in there: when to shrink the lineup, when to skip it entirely, how to choose well if you want one, who picks up the jobs a wedding party usually covers, and the exact wording for the conversation if you do decide to opt out.Did you have a wedding party, or skip it? Any regrets? I’d love your take.Full feature at the link in our bio.With thanks to Tess Follett ~ Wedding Photographer Family & Wedding Photographer Kristen Friedrichs Melbourne Wedding Photographer | White Shutter Kate l Hey Lovers @lovebombphoto and The Batesford Hotel Photography:Ali BantKristy Visscher ~ Wedding PhotographyTess Follett ~ Wedding PhotographerMelbourne Wedding Photographer | White ShutterNikki McCroneFamily & Wedding PhotographerPerla PhotographyKyra BoyerDAVID MUIR PHOTOKatie Harmsworth | Wedding & Portrait Photographer@lovebombphotoNikola JanevGeorgia Verrells | Wedding Photographer

Three things I’d borrow from Jorgie + Nick’s wedding 🤍1. Divide and conquer. They played to their strengths when it came to planning, with a whiteboard for the big-ticket jobs, a shared note for the little things and one master spreadsheet.2. Make it personal. Their styling by Wedding Planner, Stylist + Coordinator | Caitlin started with something that belonged to them; Nick’s Italian heritage and their love of Positano, and flowed through to the tablescape, cannoli tower and late-night pizza.3. The bouquet bag. We’re seeing them everywhere, but this one is very good.The takeaway? Start with a place, a story or a little piece of your life together, and let the details follow.See Jorgie + Nick’s full real wedding on Ivory Tribe at the link in bio.Photography Amanda Alessi Photography Styling Wedding Planner, Stylist + Coordinator | CaitlinFlorals Love Alfalfa || Melbourne Wedding Florist
