Planning a last-minute wedding can seem like an impossible task, but fear not! Our expert planning team at INDUSTRY in Indianapolis, IN, is here to help. With years of experience and a passion for creating unforgettable events, we’ve got the tips to ensure your special day goes off without a hitch. Here are five essential tips from our expert lead planner, Alisa, to help you plan the ultimate last-minute wedding without the stress.
Embrace Indianapolis’s Unique Venues
Indianapolis has a wealth of unique venues that can add charm to your wedding. Our lead planner, Alisa, suggests looking at less traditional spaces that might be more available on short notice. “Indy offers a variety of hidden gems, from industrial chic lofts to beautiful gardens,” Alisa says. Exploring these unique options can help you find a venue that’s available and fits your vision.
Tip in Action: Consider spaces like local parks or large coffee shops, which might have more flexible booking options compared to traditional venues.
Simplify Your Wedding Menu
Keeping the menu simple can streamline your planning process. “Opt for a limited menu with crowd-pleasers,” Alisa recommends. “This not only makes it easier for the caterer to prepare on short notice but also ensures everyone will find something they love.”
Tip in Action: Work with local favorites like ClusterTruck or King Dough for catering options that can quickly adapt to your needs and provide delicious food for your guests.
Choose In-Season Florals
Using in-season flowers can save time and money while ensuring your arrangements are fresh and beautiful. “Local florists can often source seasonal blooms faster than out-of-season varieties,” Alisa advises. This can also add a local touch to your wedding decor.
Tip in Action: Collaborate with local florists like The Flower Boys to create stunning floral arrangements using flowers that are readily available in Indianapolis.
Opt for a Daytime Wedding
A daytime wedding can offer more flexibility and availability. “Brunch or early afternoon weddings can be easier to schedule on short notice,” Alisa suggests. Plus, daytime events can have a charming and relaxed atmosphere.
Tip in Action: Plan a lovely brunch wedding with mimosas and a light menu, taking advantage of the beautiful natural light that daytime events provide.
Enlist Professional Help
When time is of the essence, hiring a professional wedding planner is invaluable. Our team at INDUSTRY specializes in handling all the details for last-minute weddings. “A professional planner can manage everything from logistics to coordination, ensuring your day is perfect,” says Alisa. This allows you to enjoy your wedding day without the stress.
