Have you ever heard of the
term…”lady in waiting?” You’ve got all
the details planned for the day, but do you have someone taking care of you
personally? A KYAE Lady in Waiting would be
your personal assistant for the day.
They would arrive whenever you begin your hair and make-up to assist you
in unloading your vehicle. Our LiW KYAE
staff member will greet you with your favorite Starbucks beverage to start your
day off right!
After attending several
conferences this winter and speaking with other planners we are now going to be
adding this service to our guest experience.
This person truly assists you all day so that your event manager can
focus on handling all of the vendors and the design aspects of your
wedding. (Plus you never have to wait for someone to go find the planner/coordinator.)
They will coordinate the arrival
of any lunch/snacks with your family, friends or vendors to whom you’ve
contracted to bring any deliveries during the day.
They will make sure your make-up
artist and hair stylist teams remain on schedule to insure you and your wedding
party are ready for pre-ceremony photos.
They will set up any detail shots
with the photographer and videographer of you dress, shoes, veil, and other
personal items.
They will then assist you in
dressing area as needed.
They will be with you during all
pre-ceremony photos keeping a list and check on making sure all of your shots
are captured.
They will place you in hiding
prior to ceremony or travel with you as needed making sure to avoid as many
family/friends prior to the ceremony to all you to pray, be with your parents
and wedding party only or make a quick dash to the restroom.
They will assist in carrying your
veil and train as you make your way to the entrance of the ceremony location to
avoid it from being dragged on the ground.
After the ceremony they will
remain with you throughout formal photos making sure to hold on to your lip
gloss and beverage of choice (our KYAE is known for bringing snacks and drinks
to the wedding party after the ceremony).
Your LiW will assist you with any
restroom breaks throughout the evening and will also assist in bustling your
dress prior to your reception entrance.
Our KYAE team will be bringing you any
meals that are not pre-plated by the catering staff…this way you can spend more
time with family and friends. Your LiW will
also work with the catering team to pack up some late night snacks (should you
provide Tupperware containers).
The best part is you can give your LiW your cell phone during the day to capture the day for you. She could take a few photos and videos for you to see & post while on your honeymoon.
Your LiW will remain close by
throughout the reception,
She will also slip your garter on
right before the garter toss without anyone even realizing it was missing.
As the evening comes to an end
she will ensure to gather your toasting flutes & cake serving set. Washing them prior to being packed away. She will make sure your parents receive your
bridal bouquet (if you haven’t thrown it away).
She will assist in any change of
dress for your exit or throughout the evening. This way your event manager can
be present with the vendors and guests at all times.
Since your LiW has been with you
all day, she will know which items will need to be gathered and packed for the
getaway car and which items will be heading with friends and family.
Our KYAE will have already
gathered any luggage and personal items that may need to be moved to your limo
or ground transportation for your getaway but your LiW will be in charge of your purse and phone.
The last duty of your Lady in
Waiting is she will clean the bridal suite and make sure no items were left
behind.
I bet you never realized how much
you NEEDED a “Lady in Waiting”? Again
our goal is to create a full guest experience for each of your wedding party
members, your parents, friends, family and especially YOU! Allow us to be that quiet whisper behind the
scenes just for you. Reach out to us
today to learn how you can add these services to your already amazing day!
