When I first spoke with Meredith while she was wedding planning, she told me how important intimacy was to her. She wanted to plan a small ceremony and lunch in 2024, then have a larger celebration in 2025. This turned out to be such a special day, and I would absolutely recommend a similar timeline to any other LDS couples wanting a similar feeling on their wedding day.

Meredith and Tyler started their wedding day at the Riverside Country Club in Provo, where they hosted a lunch for their closest family and friends. They were able to mingle with all of their guests, and incorporated family speeches (always a favorite of ours). We snuck out at the end of the lunch to grab some portraits at the country club.

Then, Meredith and Tyler headed to the Provo City Center temple to prepare for their sealing, while the rest of the family waited and finished at the lunch. We regrouped about an hour later at the temple, and then after Meredith & Tyler’s exit, we finished up the day with family portraits. The best part of the arrangement for the family members was that once portraits were finished, they were able to leave. Then, Meredith and Tyler finished their portraits at the temple with the best light of the day.

If you’re wanting to plan a small and intimate wedding, I would totally recommend this timeline!
