I love to pass along some of the tis I've learned through the years, heres one of them!
If you have ever heard of Sulla Tips they are great and some of my avs are from her!
REMEMBER You’re in charge, its YOUR wedding. Not the wedding industry. So many people ask “Can I do this?” or “Would it be ok if I did this?” When it comes to your wedding, YOU are the ultimate authority, not Martha Stewart, not the in-laws and not a chorus of anonymous women on the Internet. Of course there are protocols to help guide you, but that’s all they are: guidelines, not legal doctrines written in stone. Don’t be afraid to deviate from them and follow your gut. The only way to make your wedding truly memorable is to make it truly yours, not to make it a carbon copy of every other bride’s.
While we’re at it, this also means that asking “Is [insert wedding detail here] worth it?” is kind of a meaningless question. We all have a budget, and you have to assign priorities within that budget. If having the most fabulous Vera Wang or Monique L’Huillier gown is the most important thing in the world to you, and you are willing to serve your guests on paper plates to achieve it, then it’s worth it to you. (Of course, I can’t really condone that one in good conscience, but I’m just trying to make a point!) Maybe having the world’s best live band is more important to you, and it means you can’t have a couture gown. Whatever the specifics, I see this getting asked all the time on the Knot and the answer is that there are no absolute values assigned here: wearing a couture gown (or having a live band, or engraved invitations, or a video, or whatever) is “worth” something very different to every woman, so no one can make those decisions for you. Sure, get some input. Find out how others made these choices. But know that ultimately, you need to trust your gut and your budget. Its YOUR weding do what YOU WANT!!!!
