E I G H T ~ 8 years ✨
I cannot believe it’s been 8 years since I became a Celebrant and oh what a wild, beautiful, imperfect, evolving, emotional, wonderful time it’s been!
In honour of eight years I wanted to share 8 lessons about weddings that I have learnt along way ♥️
1. Your wedding day won’t be perfect, something will go “wrong” but all will be ok… great, even!
There’s always a tiny hiccup. But those “imperfections” often become the stories you laugh about and the moments that make your day feel uniquely yours. Embrace it.
2. You will never regret spending more time together on the day.
Whether it’s a first look, sneaking away for five quiet minutes, or just holding hands a little longer, time together is most important.
3. Investing in quality vendors is one of the best decisions you can make.
Your dream team matters. Choose people who get your vibe & genuinely care. Good energy makes for a good day.
4. Your wedding day should not be a production. Less things, more feeling.
Forget ticking every IG/TT box. The heart of the day is connection, stories, love, laughter. Simple often means more meaningful.
5. Lots of people will have opinions ~ be true to you.
Unsolicited advice will come thick and fast. The only voices that matter? Yours and your partner’s.
6. Weekday weddings are a vibe.
more availability, a relaxed energy, long lunches. Who says the best parties only happen on Saturdays?
7. It’s more than ok to want an intimate wedding.
Big guest lists don’t always equal big feelings. Some of the most powerful moments happen in the smallest gatherings.
8. Be prepared for any and all weather!!! Back up options are your friend.
Rain, wind, heatwaves… Mother Nature decides!The couples who thrive are the ones who embrace it with flexibility (and a good Plan B).
At the end of the day, the flowers fade, the cake gets eaten, the playlist stops… but the feeling of your wedding day stays with you forever. 🤍
So whether it’s big or small, sunny or raining, traditional or totally your own, the best weddings are the ones that feel like you!!
Here’s to 8 years of love stories, laughter, and saying “let’s get you married” & to many more to come. 🥂✨
