If you’re starting to feel that pre-wedding whirlwind, first — take a breath. You’re not behind. But if your wedding is just a few months away, now’s the perfect time to start mapping out your day.

So when’s the magic moment to get the schedule rolling?
Ideally, 2 to 3 months before the big day. Why? Because your other VIP vendors — like hair, makeup, florals, and transport — will all need to carve out their time slots too. The earlier you lay the groundwork, the smoother everything flows.

At de Belle Photography, we don’t just hand you a camera and hope for the best. We guide you through your wedding schedule step-by-step. You’ll receive our exclusive wedding day planning guide — a simple, beautifully laid-out tool that helps you organize your timeline with clarity and confidence.

And if your celebration is spread across multiple locations — a chic city ceremony here, cocktail hour there, reception way over there — start thinking about the kinds of spots that make your hearts race. Want that elegant urban skyline? A quiet forest trail? A lakefront kiss at golden hour? Or maybe a favorite café that tells part of your love story? Your vibe matters, and your schedule should reflect that.
