A wedding is such a special occasion, for both the bride and groom and their families and friends. Here are a few tips from an expert. (Thank you, Megan Keller of A Kurant Event in Seattle!)
Beware of Pinterest. While it’s a fantastic tool to begin cultivating your style aesthetic, it can easily overwhelm you. Once you’ve got the nuts and bolts nailed down about the general design of the wedding, stop there. There’s too much pressure these days to create a “Pinterest-worthy wedding” and that’s just not what it’s about. People will remember how much fun they had dancing or how smiley you looked all night more than the little odds and ends you used to decorate.
Don’t feel obligated to talk to every single guest for five minutes. You won’t have time!
Don’t worry about the details. If you’re not having fun, the party will feel like a dud. Conversely, if you’re having a great time, your guests will, too. Your energy is contagious.
Most important: enjoy the day. Do what makes you feel happy together. This is the best party you’ll ever throw. Enjoy it!
