Rules? There are no rules when it comes to your wedding. Or any wedding for that matter. There’s no right or wrong way to have a wedding. And there’s no good or bad way to do it either. And there certainly are no wedding police (hehe imagine if that were a thing? 😝)
As someone who’s been wedding planning for 8 years now, I’ve unpacked this realization, asking what are some of my own “rules” I’ve come to believe over the years?…
That a wedding design should feel balanced with the season one is getting married… Or not and let’s throw a tropical themed celebration in the middle of December (lol, the opposite of Christmas in July).
That we should have assigned seats for table groupings larger than 12… Or not and people will figure it out and it will be okay.
That toasts should be at the end of dinner when people are finished eating and not in the middle of dinner when forks and knives clanking. Actually, I still vote for toasts at the end of dinner out of respect for the toaster, but you know what, there are no rules. Of course, you can still count on me to give my two cents, and I’ll still support you in the end. Ultimately, it’s your wedding, and I believe it should be what you want it to be.
So, when our bride came to us and said she wanted a drag queen performance because she and her hubby love drag shows and frequent them often, I was there for it - full send 🙌 We found this incredible duo and implemented their set into the timeline in a way that flowed. Their performance was polished off with a community toast of glitter jello fireball shots, cause when our couple told me they loved fireball, I was like wait, I’ve got an idea 💡Truly, anything to make your day more personal and more like YOU, I’m here for. Full send.
✨With all this said, I’m curious to hear what comes to your mind when you think of what a wedding “should” be? I challenge you to comment below, what’s one of your own “rules” that isn’t actually really a rule?
