How To Plan A Wedding

One of my favorite questions to ask couples is, “If you took away all external expectations (from family/friends) - ALL the things you think you should do to have a wedding, even monetary constraints for a moment… what would your wedding day look like?”

And then… “How do you want to feel?”

The first helps you figure out what your values and priorities are - how you should structure your budget to make sure the things that matter most to you are put first. The second tells you how to plan your timeline, who you want to invite, where you want to be; etc.

How you feel is important. It will stick with you for the rest of your life.

Planning a wedding day that FEELS good may require rejecting social norms or what’s expected of you. It may require compromise with your partner. It may require creativity to figure out how to hold space for opposing experiences or how to make things you care about fit into an accessible plan.

I’m here to help you brainstorm and narrow down some of the options so it feels less overwhelming. You aren’t in this alone, and having outside; professional feedback can give you more options you hadn’t considered or help you narrow down the ideas so they’re more in line with who you are and your values.

Planning a wedding day that feels good is SO. IMPORTANT. So important. Even if you forget something, the weather doesn’t cooperate with ideal preferences, or plans go awry in some other way, it sets you up to make great memories together.
