What do I want my wedding day to look like? vs What do I want my wedding day to feel like?

Maya Angelo famously said: “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.“

I can tell you right now that when you look back on your wedding day that you will remember how the day felt to you over how the day looked. You will remember all the laughter and all of the hugs over what was served as the sides of your roast beef.

With this advice in mind think about what you want your wedding day to feel like. Do you want a day of laughter? A day of celebration? A day of romance? A day of emotions?

It could be one or all of these feelings.

However, once you have that figured out then you can discover wedding vendors who align with that feeling rather than falling into a pattern of looking up who your friends hired. 

A great place to look for a personality of a wedding vendor or business is on their social media. Particularly Instagram. Businesses want you to get to know them for who they are. It’s like getting to know a friend. Once you have found a vendor who makes you feel like you would want them around on your wedding day you should contact them. Go out for coffee or have a zoom date. See if their personality on social media matches them in real life.

Placing that importance on the way you want your day to feel vs how you want it to look will make your memories far more valuable.
