About my associations with the word "wedding".⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A couple of days ago, I wrote that items and phenomena arise an association chain. I also mentioned that this fact is mainly determined by the experience of a person. Today, I would like to share with you an example on this topic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many years ago, the word "wedding" gave me associations of a girl in a long white gown, a man in a black tuxedo and bow-tie, a luxury white car and a cloud of white roses...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Later, I immersed myself in the wedding planning and since then, I check and analyse a myriad of weddings from all over the world on a daily basis. And my associations with "wedding" have changed dramatically.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Material images have gone to distant positions and have become less straightforward.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, a girl not necessary wears a gown, it easily can be a pantsuit. And the colour of the dress sometimes is not white... For example, my own wedding gown was greyish-blue.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A man not necessary wears a black tuxedo, and snow-white roses become flowers of different shapes and forms.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today, the first thing that appears in my mind when facing the word "wedding" is emotions.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A surprise of a groom when he sees his bride in a new stunning look for the first time...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A tender and excited eyes to eyes glance when they say a sacramental "I do"...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tears of happiness of parents, relatives and friends when the groom and bride pronounce their vows...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And endless smiles and laughter during a wedding banquette...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am happy about these changes in my mind. Truly, emotions stay in memory forever. A bride can forget what flowers were in her bouquet, but she will remember its smell and excitement about its beauty until the end of the world. That's why for me, as for a wedding planner, the most important is to create an atmosphere that will be an endless source of desirable emotions.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

By the way, I have a series of posts about using senses to create emotions on a wedding ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
