If you’re a wedding planner staring at a blinking cursor, wondering what on earth to write about on your blog—you’re not alone. Finding blogging ideas for wedding planners can feel overwhelming when you’re already juggling clients, timelines, and vendor calls. But the truth is, a strategic blog is one of the most powerful marketing tools you have.
Not only does blogging help you get found on Google, it also builds trust, showcases your expertise, and attracts your dream clients before they even hit “inquire.”
But what should you write about? And how can you come up with blogging ideas that actually move the needle?
In this post, I’m sharing five blogging ideas for wedding planners. Whether you’re new to blogging or looking to refresh your content calendar, this list will help you show up as the expert you are and start attracting the right couples to your business.
1. How to Plan a Wedding in [Your City]
Location-based content is one of the most effective blogging ideas for wedding planners. These types of blogs show up in local search results and connect with couples planning weddings in your area. A blog post like “How to Plan a Wedding in Charleston, SC” or “Your Guide to Planning a Wedding in Napa Valley” instantly positions you as a local expert. That’s exactly what your couples are looking for!
What to include in this blog:
- The best time of year to get married in your city
- Unique venue options or local hidden gems that you love to work at
- Key vendors and what to book early (your wedding planner!)
- Local weather tips, permit info, or travel guidance
You can also highlight local traditions, seasonal floral availability, or fun activities for out-of-town guests. These personal touches make your content more valuable and build trust with couples who are new to the area.
Why it works: Couples love practical planning help that feels personalized to their location—and Google loves location-specific content too. These posts not only attract traffic from search engines, but they also help you build relationships with local venues and vendors by featuring them in your content.
2. A Real Wedding Recap (with Tips!)
One of the best ways to build trust with potential clients is to share real weddings you’ve planned. But instead of just posting a gallery of photos, turn it into an educational blog post that showcases your expertise and decision-making.
What to include in this blog:
- A summary of the couple’s vision and how you brought it to life
- Unique challenges you overcame or creative solutions you implemented
- Vendor shoutouts (tag them and let them know!)
- Actionable takeaways for readers (ex: “Why a First Look Helped This Timeline Flow Perfectly”)
You can also include small, unexpected moments that made the day feel extra special or talk about how you kept things on track when something didn’t go as planned. Adding real behind-the-scenes details helps readers envision themselves working with you.
Why it works: This type of content blends inspiration with strategy. It shows potential clients how you work, how you think, and what it’s like to have you by their side on one of the most important days of their lives. Plus, it gives you fresh content to share on social media, tag vendors, and drive traffic back to your site.
3. Your Wedding Planning Process—Step by Step
So many couples are overwhelmed by wedding planning and don’t even know where to begin. This is your opportunity to walk them through your process and build trust before they even book a consultation. A clear, step-by-step explanation helps them feel more confident and excited about hiring you.
What to include in this blog:
- How you start working with a new client
- Key milestones in the planning timeline
- What’s included in each phase of your services
- Tools or systems you use (like HoneyBook)
You can also share your communication style, how often clients can expect updates, and how you make the process as stress-free as possible. This kind of transparency helps position you as both approachable and professional. Use language that shows how your process supports your clients from the first call to the final send-off.
Why it works: When couples understand your planning process, they’re less intimidated and more likely to trust you. It gives them a peek into what it’s like to work with you and helps filter in the right-fit clients who value your approach and systems.
4. Top Mistakes Couples Make (And How to Avoid Them)
Next on the list of blogging ideas for wedding planners, is more educational content. Educational content performs well because it empowers your audience with information they didn’t even know they needed. This type of post also positions you as a problem-solver and a true expert in your field. It’s your chance to share insights you’ve gathered from real experiences and gently point out the value of professional planning.
Examples of topics:
- “5 Wedding Planning Mistakes Couples Make Without a Planner”
- “The #1 Mistake Couples Make When Building Their Wedding Day Timeline”
- “What NOT to Do When Choosing a Venue”
You can even share stories (without naming names!) of real situations where you helped clients avoid or recover from these missteps. Bonus points if you include a call to action to book a consultation or link to related resources you’ve created.
Why it works: It educates while building authority. Couples realize how much you know—and how much easier their lives will be when they hire you.
5. Your Favorite Wedding Venues in [Your Area]
Couples start their planning process by booking a venue—so this is the perfect blog post to get found early in their search. A post like “Top 5 Wedding Venues in Dallas, TX (Planner Approved!)” is a great way to drive traffic and show off your local knowledge. It also sets you up as someone who knows the ins and outs of each location.
What to include in this blog:
- Your favorite ceremony and reception spots
- What you love about each venue (be honest and helpful!)
- Venue capacity, style, pros and cons
- Insider tips from weddings you’ve done there
- Photos to showcase the space in action
This post also creates opportunities to tag the venues on social media, build vendor relationships, and potentially get re-shared by the venues themselves.
Why it works: Venue content performs incredibly well in search and helps couples envision what’s possible. It builds trust by showing that you’ve been there, done that—and are ready to guide them every step of the way.

If you’re using ChatGPT without training it on your brand voice…
you’re basically letting a robot with no personality run your marketing and comms.
And you know what that sounds like… bland, boring, and just like every other wedding pro on the internet. (Sorry Chatty, but it’s true 💀).
That’s why tomorrow I’m hosting a live workshop to fix this for you:
✨ You’ll walk away with your own Brand Voice Guideline you can drop into ChatGPT (and share with your VA, copywriter, or team).
📝 We’ll do real-time exercises so ChatGPT finally sounds like you.
⚡ It’s just 90 minutes and I’ll guide you through it step by step.
💻 Plus you’ll get access to the replay, so if you can’t join me live, you’ll have everything you need.
Want the link? Comment WORKSHOP and I’ll DM it to you
See you in the workshop!!
There are certain people you meet in business who just get it.
Who love the work they do, the clients they serve, and have a deep passion for the wedding industry.
Frances Ledgewood is one of those people.
She’s the heart and hands behind @ledgewoodfinestationery, but more than that, she’s a visionary.
A long-time podcast listener, private client, and someone I’ve had the absolute joy of mentoring as she’s taken bold steps to grow a brand that’s as intentional as it is iconic.
In this week’s Behind the Brand, I’m sitting down with Frances to talk about building a business rooted in heart, legacy, and excellence.
We talk about her early days, how she’s built her brand, grown a team, and stepped into a bold new season of leadership.
You’re going to feel so inspired hearing about Frances journey — and I can’t wait for you to tune in!

PSA for my OGs ✨
You’ve got the talent and the experience... but you already know… it’s not as easy as it used to be. And it’s only getting harder.
The pros who will actually survive the next generation of business are the ones prioritizing visibility.
I’m seeing insanely talented and experienced OGs in our industry being overlooked because they’re not showing up.
And if that’s you, I have a question...
👀 What are you going to do about it?
Comment 190 and I will send you the link to listen to this week’s episode of The Power in Purpose where I’m sharing the 5 ways I see wedding pros playing small (and what it’s costing you).
Everyone’s talking about how AI is making everybody sound the same.
I’m here to tell you they’re wrong.
Once you know how to train ChatGPT on your brand voice? It can quickly become your unfair advantage.
In this week’s episode, I’m talking about:
👉 What “training” AI really looks like
👉 How to make it sound exactly like you
👉 Why this is the skill that will set you apart from your competition this year
And if you’re ready to go beyond listening and actually do the work?
Join me later this month for my live workshop where I’ll walk you through the exact process of training ChatGPT on your brand voice so it becomes your full-service marketing assistant.
Wedding pros, don’t sit this one out. Comment 189 and I will send you the link to listen now (and workshop details so you can register!)
