Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine your perfect wedding-yes that one. The wedding of your dreams. The one where everything is exactly the way you want it to be. Ahh yes…Bridal bliss.
Now, let’s snap back to reality. Is the wedding of your dreams the wedding that you are planning? Or is your eventual wedding so far off track that you don’t seem to enjoy your planning any longer?
Your wedding day is one that is supposed to be entirely about you, from your dress to your cake to your groom. So why is it that brides so often sacrifice what they want to make those around them happy? One of the most important things about planning a wedding is being true to yourself and what you want. Don’t let other persuade you into ideas that you aren’t crazy about. It’s time to stop worrying about what others want. And yes, that means even shrugging off what your mother has all planned out for your big day.
Every bride deserves to be able to nostalgically look back at her wedding day years down the road without any regrets, and the only way to do that is to have your wedding the way that YOU want it. It’s time for brides to stop asking for the opinions of her maid-of-honor. It’s time to stop planning your wedding solely around the latest trends. It’s time to stand up against your mother-in-law-to-be. Start planning this wedding for the ones to whom this day will mean the most: the happy couple getting married.
