Hi my name is Miss Gloss and I am a plan-a-holic.
I have to think through every detail, and understand every ounce of how my vision will come together before I can fully commit to a plan.
One of the benefits of having a tent wedding is that I get a blank slate. I don’t have to buy into anyone else’s idea of decor, I can do whatever I want—make my own space. (Believe me, a tented wedding was no accident!)
I recently came up with a few diagrams to help explain my concept for our ’space’ and so our vendors would know where they are expected to set up.
Diagram 1 : the tablescape (click on any image to make larger)
Diagram 2: the floor plan
Diagram 3: the ceiling plan
Did you/will you create detailed diagrams of your plans to ensure your day comes out exactly as you envisioned it?
omg that’s AWESOME. how in the world did you make those??
I second Miss Bear Cub — and bow down to your org skills!
You are incredibly organized! That’s so awesome and I’m sure super helpful to everyone involved in the wedding!
I am wishing I had. I did make wedding weekend packets- 14 pages! Apparently we answered questions people never thought to ask!
I did this too! I would sketch out (on any paper, at any time) “visions” that come up in my head. I’d create a Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C for those just-in-case-it-doesn’t-work ideas. I did this when choosing my classes in college too.. 
P.S. Yes, it pays off. Our wedding went smoothly and I’m sure yours will too!
I wish I could get the exact dimensions of out garden outdoor space so out whip this up on CAD too. The organizer in me wants this so bad!
I did this for our tent, but mine were scratched out on paper…
I bow down to you, Glossy!
I’m actually trying to do something similar right now. Sadly, our venue is more than 5 hours from my present location, I am without a car, and it’s a family campsite so there is no one to call about it. On top of that, we are getting married on civic weekend, NEXT year and tents are already booked.
But if I do magically end up with a tented wedding as well (I can pray right?) then I will have diagrams as well. I’ll actually probably have them anyways.
Should we start a Plan-a-holics Anonymous?
o.m.g.! This is a whole new level of organized! I could have used a bit of your plan-a-holism when before my wedding!
HAHAHA I’m so glad I’m not the only one who does this! I’ve Photoshopped tablescapes and how I want our DIY centerpieces to look. I took a picture of inside the reception hall and Photoshopped it so that my Mom and FMIL know EXACTLY how I want it to look when they help decorate… I’m a total plan-a-holic!
Oh how I love organized things! This got me giddy and it’s not even mine! Looks awesome
You are amazing! I love love love it!! I will do them now and it will make my brain and my OCD happy when they are done!
Thanks for making my day even easier!
My OCDness LOVES this post. I have been doing the same thing.
Hells yeah…those are great! 
I totally did a CAD drawing of my reception space too (I’m an Interior Designer). It’s good since CAD is kinda relaxing!

I couldn't live without Pantone markers, fountain soda (3/4 diet, ¼ regular Coke), run-on sentences, or ridiculously oversized sunglasses. I will try to DIY almost anything and am just OCD enough to make most of it work. I am truly excited about having all my family and friends together, becoming Mrs. Gloss, and having amazing photos to prove it!
