How to Prepare for Your Pop-Up Wedding Day
You’ve booked your date, chosen your time slot, and now it’s almost here—your pop-up wedding day! Since these unique events are designed to be stress-free and easy, getting ready should feel just as simple. But to help you feel fully confident and prepared, we’ve created a quick guide on what to expect and how to get ready for your big moment.
💍 1. Bring the Essentials
Make sure you pack the key items you’ll need:
Marriage License – Depending on your location, you’ll typically need to bring this with you, signed and ready for your officiant.
Rings – If you're exchanging rings, double-check that they're packed!
Photo ID – Just in case it's needed for your license or check-in.
Vows – If you’re writing your own, bring a printed copy or keep them saved in your phone notes.
👗 2. Dress for the Moment
Pop-up weddings may be relaxed in planning, but they’re still your special day. Choose an outfit that makes you feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable.
Some tips:
Plan for the weather (bring a shawl or umbrella if needed).
Comfortable shoes are a must, especially if there’s walking or outdoor areas.
Keep your style authentic—this is your moment to shine.
⏰ 3. Arrive Early (But Not Too Early)
We recommend arriving 15–20 minutes before your scheduled time. Our team will have everything set up and ready, so there's no need to come hours early.
This window gives you time to:
Check in
Meet your officiant and photographer
Take a breath before walking down the aisle
👨👩👧 4. Inform Your Guests
If you're bringing guests, let them know:
What time to arrive (ideally with you)
Where to go and any parking details
To stay present and avoid blocking the photographer’s view
Our pop-up weddings are intentionally intimate, so please stick to your confirmed guest count.
💐 5. Relax—We've Got the Rest

All you need to do is:
