Every wedding planner has a calendar or timeline laying out the important steps necessary to plan a wedding and reception. The timeline is an important part of planning your wedding, but there are other equally important things to think about in order to have the wedding you really want. Here is one more of them:
Make your wedding personal. Everyone knows what a wedding is “supposed” to be like, but some of the nicest weddings I have been to have broken the rules. Brides don’t have to wear white, nor do grooms need to wear tuxes. There is no requirement that a wedding be a formal affair. If you want to have a picnic in the park, just make sure you have a rain plan. Wedding cake doesn’t have to look like the classic wedding dress. In fact, if you don’t like cake, serve pie or jello, instead. I’ve never been to a wedding where there were no flowers, but if you don’t like the idea of carrying a bouquet, there are lots of other ways to work flowers into your day. Everyone from your mother to the lady at the grocery checkout will tell you how your wedding ought to be. Listen politely, but if you have other ideas, follow your heart until you get the wedding of your dreams.
