I got sucked into watching "Platinum Weddings" tonight and it made me think about and realize just how BEAUTIFUL and fabulous the weddings are that I am lucky enough to work on. They are "Platinum Weddings" in their own right! They need their own TV show! My brides and grooms and moms and dads are so, so worthy of that kind of recognition. The thing is, there are beautiful weddings to look at everywhere we turn. On TV, the magazines, Blogs, websites... Of course there is the very famous and amazing Blog, Style Me Pretty, from which to draw inspiration - www.stylemepretty.com. If you can't get some inspiration from there, where can you get it?
The point is: God is in the details, people! It's really true. You can't pay close enough attention to the little things. Whether it's the escort cards made out of paint chips (an amazing idea from a current bride of mine who is sassy and classy and so, so creative) to desserts served from a gorgeous old armoire, to a love poem written in the sky by an airplane...the details are what make your wedding your own.
Tonight it's snowing buckets in Durham and all I can think of is, will someones wedding day tomorrow be dampened by the bad weather? Ugh. Don't let the bad weather get you down! You will still have an amazing day that is YOUR day and if it snows, it was meant for your day to be a snowy one. It will turn out that the details from your day will be a photo of you and your sweetie kicking up the snow with your heels...or a beautiful shot of a snowflake landing on your perfectly powdered nose...or a carriage ride as a new MRS. through the snowy streets of Chapel Hill...or seeing your guests all bundled in their Sunday best under furs (fake furs, I'm sure...eh hem). Whatever it is, the details will be yours and yours alone. Take a deep breath, enjoy the snow, and get married! That's what it's about after all, now isn't it?
XOXO,
grace
