After 23 Years in Business, What I Would Tell My Daughter

What Is Your Dream?

 If my daughter were planning her wedding today, I wouldn't tell her to spend more money, I'd tell her to spend it more intentionally. I'd tell her to choose a venue she loves before she falls in love with décor. I'd tell her to hire people she trusts, not just people with beautiful social media. I'd remind her that guests won't remember the charger plates or the signature cocktail. They'll remember how the day felt. Most of all, I'd tell her to protect her peace. A wedding should never become a performance so stressful that you forget to enjoy it. Connect with your vendors, make sure they feel you and hear you before signing a contract. And, listen to your heart.

After more than two decades of watching couples begin their marriages, I've learned something simple: The most beautiful weddings aren't the ones with the biggest budgets. They're the ones where the couple is fully present. This is your day and it should feel like the best day ever.

That's the wedding I would want for my own daughter.
