My Christmas Wedding Wish
Seems a bit weird, a 2020 wedding wish, right? But going at the speed of light is another year and come midnight on December 31st, we’re entering a whole new decade - As if we need any reminding!
Daily I see posts pop up on bridal pages asking for strangers opinions on any given subject and it makes me want to say the same thing every. Single. Time. If you, as a couple take just a minute to think about the question at hand between yourselves, the answer is so plain and simple - And most importantly stays true to you as opposed to the masses.
So, what is my 2020 wedding wish? I want to see you and your soul mate focus on what’s most important to you. To ignore the outside noise and drill down into what makes you the unique team you are to create a day that will forever be a classic and a pure expression of the best things about you both.
Think about the types of occasions you enjoy. Are you truly black-tie dressing, formal as f**k poncy kids who revel in the company of 200 plus guests, or are you the type of people who enjoy just chilling under the sun in the back yard or at the beach in the company of your closest circle? Wherever you fall on the spectrum, focus on that because that’s the stuff that brings pure magic on your wedding day. If you’re stuck on where to start, HERE is a great place.
With that I want you to think about your budget. A wedding should never cripple anyone or stop you achieving or experiencing things in life you so badly want to tick off the list. That ultimate magic number is going to differ between every single couple and if for you that means asking your guests to pay for a meal, or bring a dish, your nearest and dearest should never be opposed to the idea. After all, it’s how you’re choosing to celebrate the occasion and it’s nobody else’s choice but yours.
Who are you inviting? Really, truly spend time working out your guest list and send out invitations to those who are going to be around in 2, 5, 10 + years time. Nobody ever regrets having a smaller wedding, trust me. If you’re stuck on where to start, I’ve written a great blog HERE.
The most important factor involved in your wedding day is the two of you are getting hitched! What follows is purely a celebration of that commitment which means the options surrounding how you commemorate the occasion are simply endless. There is no box to fit in to, no rules, no boundaries. Don’t worry about what others would typically do, worry about yourselves and if whatever detail or element you add is a reflection of you.
2019 Lucy over and out.
Until next,
