Can you please make a video about all things rehearsal dinners???

[@emmaayla5889]

OMG YES PLEAAAASE

[@Heavenly_Havoc]

YES

[@Christine8480]

I flat out told my future fiancé we are splurging on a wedding coordinator because of you hahaha

[@oliviambennett]

Christine r SAME! 😹😹

[@rozmoz]

Jamie, can you do a video on elopements? Must haves, not so must haves like do I need a coordinator for such a small intimate event? Important aspects of it? Overall tips? Thank you!

[@esmeraldaavila3830]

Video ideas: -DIY bouquets and boutonnières -traditional vs casual weddings (the differences that you’ve seen from experience) - tablescape ideas for different themes -how to pick a theme/color scheme for your wedding

[@esmeraldaavila3830]

Another idea just came to me lol. Could you please make a video talking about what a bride should include in a wedding binder! Like, what kinds of information would actually be helpful and important enough for our coordinator to know for meetings. I’m meeting with my coordinator in a couple weeks to give her more information about my wedding day, but I’m not sure exactly what I should bring with me to the meeting!

[@whitneystephens6717]

DIY seating chart please! And welcome sign! 😁 I'm trying to keep my DIY elements to a minimum since I'm planning from afar, but those are 2 I do plan on making.

[@hayleygrace]

Oh! Yes! I would love a video on this! :)

[@TheIrishOne95]

Also, some DIY ideas: centerpieces(simple or elaborate), wedding favors, a wedding cake(I’ve been debating on doing my own. I want something very simple. And only want the top tier to be actual real cake), backdrops for a photo booth or even as a statement background for something like the entrance/guest book etc, parents/wedding party gifts, welcome sign/saying for ceremony/reception. I’d love to see more DIY videos!

[@TheIrishOne95]

Jamie Wolfer thank you!!!

[@brennalivesformusic3]

Would love to see a video about the last few months before the wedding, after all vendors are set. Like the details brides forget? Thanks!

[@paperplates8164]

Can you talk about some less traditional weddings that you've planned or coordinated ? Like, weddings at less common or unique venues (we are planning at a restaurant and I can't find any tips or information for that), small weddings (ours is 20-30 people)... What other entertainment besides dancing for so few people? Anything else "nontraditional" that you can think of.

[@TheMindBetweentheEarrings]

Yes I want to know this too

[@Stephanie-Gil]

[@cheryllynn988]

I'm doing a larger frame with fairy lights and twine twisted together and strung on the frame with little clothespins and a polaroid camera!! I got everything minus the camera on wish app

[@ruthperkins4966]

I've seen people buy cool coffee table books and get people to look through and sign their favourite part of it, so you get to read the book and hunt for the messages people have left you, depending on the book it could be really cheap (could be second hand/vintage from a thrift shop) and possibly something you'll look through more than a guest book

[@kredineventsengineer]

Hi Jaimie, Im a newbie here in KZbin, but I have been a wedding coordinator /planner here in the Philippines. I started to subscribe now its been great. I recently uploaded and taking serious into sharing video to teach couple on how to prepare their wedding. I also had done the video to solicit support for the frontliners and babies who we have been supporting for their medical need since 2019. Love to learn more from you.

[@Mindova]

It's a little too late for me with my wedding coming this May 18th, but could you do a video of Pro's & Con's of a DIY venue? I underestimated severely the amount of work to do even with the help of a "partial-planner" working with me. I do not regret it since I live on a beautiful farm, but explaining how much extra goes into a DIY venue like a house might make couples realize the value of just using a venue before it's too late.

[@jessicacaume5921]

Really wish you were in Canada! I just came across this channel like.. 2 hrs? ago and have been watching your videos non-stop.. and it's now 10:20pm. I'm not a traditional or conventional person so I never wanted my wedding to feel like your "usual" one. And I feel like you could be perfect for planning/coordinating our wedding! Anyway, thank you so much for making these videos. They have been so incredibly eye-opening and helpful! I feel quite overwhelmed but with your advice and information I feel way more comfortable going into this!

[@thewanderlustbookdreamer5849]

Love this!!!! Working on becoming a part-time wedding planner someday in the future!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ You inspired me 😊

[@fizzaith]

I'm loving your scarf situation! I would love to see DIY alternative/non-floral bouquet ideas.

[@prfctlymprfctbeauty]

My coordinator is amazing. I’m 4.5 months out and she’s already on it

[@susie6593]

Hiiiii!!! Um, yeah I very very rarely post a question BUTTTT I’m glued to your videos since I got engaged on 12/25/18!!!!!!! You are a doll... PERIOD! I did have a question I swear..🤔 Oh yesssss.... What if we don’t want to do a traditional wedding yet, semi traditional? We are super introvert and weird and silly but only around our very close people so a full wedding program with dances and toasts and all the other things people do is very intermediating to us!!! How would we fill that space? How do we let people know? Will it be odd when half your invitation list is proper poised perfect people 😆🤔 help? And of course CONGRATS ON 20k!!!!! Well deserved!!!

[@smellmycoffee]

Haha we are so similar!! I got engaged the day before you and we are also both introverts. We aren't having speeches or anything like that, and I don't think we'll do the traditional first dances. We're doing our wedding in my parent's garden and are having a capri marquee. The ceremony we're having is humanist so we get to decide exactly how that goes, we're going to write our own vows but both hate public speaking so we'll have the celebrant say them and we just have to say 'I do'. We're going to keep the ceremony quite short, and enjoy a dinner and party in a relaxed atmosphere with all the people we love afterwards. If someone from my family really wants to do a speech they can just get up and do one, but we'll spread the word around family in the lead-up that we aren't doing speeches ourselves.

[@dstuart8722]

Similar boat lol. Don't be pressured into doing what you don't want to do on your day. Utilize the maid of honour n best man for speeches. A dance isn't mandatory either lol. Tweak to suit your wants

[@katjaoksanen944]

The only wedding book I bought is A Practical Wedding and I totally recommend it! It's great for figuring out what you want your day to be like and just keep in mind that you can do anything you want. The only thing you need is you, your fellow weirdo and maybe someone to make it legal. Or you can make it legal later. Just figure out what you want your wedding to feel like and choose componenets after that. Nothing's mandatory!

[@susie6593]

Jamie Wolfer thank you 🤗 thank for your response 🤩 I will definitely keep your advice in mind !!

[@yz9550]

Congrats, Jamie! You deserve a million subscribers!

[@tinah142]

Can you do a video on DIY floral arrangements/centerpeices? Like how to transport them, store them, timeline, etc.

[@iamkatielouise]

DIY glitter wine bottle centerpieces! Im doing it for my wedding and they are coming out beautifully!

[@MySunFlowerLv]

Congrats on 20K! Well deserved, and should just keep growing ;) For future ideas - an interview with a wedding dress designer/good shop assistant/tailor (or smth like that) would be really cool and helpful, as picking your wedding dress can also be quite challenging - you should like it, it should look good on you, it should fit the theme, it should fit the venue, it should be affordable, should you have it custom made or buy in salon, or order online...,etc.. Maybe there are some tips and tricks on this one as well?

[@BriannaGraceOfficial]

I think one of the hardest decisions I will make for my wedding is whether or not I want a long term planner or just a coordinator 😂 Also YES PLEASE DO DIY VIDS. Centerpieces for different themes, maybe a seating chart board, some creative floral arrangements for those who may use fake flowers, etc.

[@gaby95209]

I would totally love DIY decorations like center pieces, floral arrangements, bouquets for the bridal party, etc.

[@Anna-bh4zs]

Can you please make a video like walk through whole wedding day like small things that are important and that people usually forget. I have wedding this year and I always feel I forgot something it's so annoying 🙄🙄 I love your videos and your energy. You are one amazing person !!! Thank you for all your help ♥️

[@JayShoPalmz]

floral decals out of paper!! They're pretty cool and yet not enough videos with a comprehensive guide to them. Maybe how you might do some of your designs? Especially for stationaries? What about signs and seating charts and stuff? Wedding favors?

[@mzshaniece9977]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I’ve been seriously thinking about becoming a coordinator but after watching you have me wanting to do both! lol

[@michellewoocoad9511]

This video was so helpful!! While not at the stage, I'm just looking ;) ...I didn't realize the differences. I knew the long term vs. more closer to the date, but this video made me realize the benefits of a wedding planner compared to a coordinator which I was more for b/c I'm sooo detailed....awesome job! Can't wait to see more for my future big day!

New sub here....I love your channel and have been binge watching these last couple of days! I would love to see DIY's done around wine crafts...bottles, corks etc. I have a wine theme going on for my wedding in May because both my husband and I are in the wine business. Also, if you need any empty wine bottle or corks to play and experiment with, I can hook you up with a crap-load for free. Seriously, its crazy how many I have saved! I am in Los Angeles, which is almost local. :-)

Thanks!

More bouquet DIYs! Maybe faux ones too although I know you don't love them as much. Also centrepieces, place cards, favours & general other pretty table things. I'm also going to attempt to DIY a photo backdrop as an instagram/photobooth background so anything like that would be amazing!

There are so many cool ways to display large letters for the couple like with flowers or marquee lights that look so pretty! How to decorate an arbour or similar with flowers! How does diy snapchat filters work?? Have you seen those big canvases with balloons with paint inside that people throw darts at and then you remove some vinyl you've put down to get a cool painting? Looks awesome but maybe super difficult? Helium balloons with fairy lights inside! Possible or just a pinterest dream? Simple finger food for cocktail hour?

Amateur cake decorator here! Do a trial run (or three lol) of the icing and flowers. If you’ve never done it before ever, it’s not super hard if you keep it simple. Watch a bunch of decorating videos (Rosie’s Dessert Spot is good for simple but elegant decorating ideas) and start prepping now by making one cake per week leading up to the event so you have time to practice without stressing over it.

I have experienced that. Is good to do it after the food is done and is time to have fun and dance. Usually people are hungry so it's best to do the food first.
