Your Wedding: Having a Day That Makes Sense For You
There are some things that you’ll have to include in your wedding day, but the majority of details are entirely up to you. You’ll need to make sure it’s legally binding, yes, but beyond that? Go nuts. This is your special day, no one else’s!
The trouble is that, with so many options out there, narrowing down all the options and figuring out what makes sense for you and your partner can be a little challenging. In this post, we’ll run through a few key tips for ensuring you have a day that very much feels like a day that represents your love.
Do What Feels Right
It’s best to start with a blank canvas when it comes to planning your wedding day. It’s much easier to put together a day that makes sense for you when you’ve built it from the ground up, rather than trying to insert yourself into a fully-formed traditional wedding setup. You can always elect to add as many traditions to your big day as you like, but you’ll find it easier to have a handle on things if you start from zero.
Pick the Right Venue
The venue isn’t just a place where you’ll gather your guests — it’ll also have a significant impact on the big day itself. The right wedding venue will add to the romance of the day, helping to turn what is essentially a legal process into a fairytale-esque day that makes sense for you and your partner. There’s no shortage of outstanding venues out there, from rustic barns out in the countryside to magnificent urban spaces. Think about the type of environment that makes sense for you, visit a few, and then go with whichever one your heart tells you is the right place.
Put Together a Menu You Love
If you’ve got a particular taste, then why not incorporate it into your wedding menu? There’s no law that says you have to have a conventional menu. The choice is yours! If you want to serve some Texas BBQ food at your UK wedding, then well, why not? As well as the menu, you can also put together some signature cocktails that incorporate your favourite spirits.
Be Happy With Your Guestlist
It’s your wedding day, so the only people who should be there are the ones who you really want to be there! It can feel like there’s pressure to invite certain people (work colleagues, etc), but that pressure will mostly exist in your head. You have every other day of your life to care about the feelings of other people. On your wedding day, it should be all about you.
Ask: What’s Important to You?
Whatever it is, get it into your wedding day. If you’re sick of how everyone spends all their time looking at their phones, then have a no-phones policy. If you like some obscure genre of music, then get it into the playlist. In all likelihood, your guests will absolutely love that you have an unconventional wedding.
