How to plan your wedding day.
Planning your wedding isn’t as stressful as you would think.
Especially if you actually plan out the type of wedding that the two of you actually want to have, and don’t allow yourself to be manipulated by the wedding marketing machine.
Here are the steps.
Choose a date
Find a few venues and choose one that is available on your wedding date, that fits your budget and aesthetics and space requirements.
Invite your friends and family. How many are invited is up to you. Budget, and sometimes cultural expectations are part of this process.
Enjoy the day. Celebrate. Drink. Eat. Dance (or don’t). Soak it up. Take every moment in as it happens.
Hire a photographer that knows that the pretty things are nice and all, but that what really matters are the human interactions and relationships. Choose wisely.
That’s it.
That’s really what it comes down to. Four individual steps.
The wedding industry machine will tell you what’s on trend and what you NEED to do/spend/create for your wedding to be relevant and important and up to date, but what you really need is just these four steps.
The rest is just wedding wank.
Don’t feel pressured by some blog post or instagram reel telling you that what you’ve planned out for the past year is all wrong because it’s not trendy anymore. God, can you imagine spending all that time with a certain vision of your wedding day only to be told you’re all wrong and it’s not in fashion anymore?
No thanks, ignore all that noise and do what you want.
