Whose Wedding Is It Anyway? BE TRUE TO YOU

​In BearFly Designs’ first blog - ever - we’d like to start off the same way we begin our process with every couple we work with: IT’S YOUR WEDDING! Now this may sound obvious but in our experience it’s not.
 
You may be pushed and pulled in a variety of directions from everyone including family, friends, and vendors. Since it is your day after all, take the time early on to identify what is most important to you. Make those details a priority and get them in place early on in your process. Conversely, if you want a simple day that too is your choice. The key is to plan a day that truly reflects who you are. Friendly advice can unknowingly turn into pressure. When making difficult decisions remember your own vision so that this very important day is the day you will want to remember in vivid detail.
 
If there is something, a flower - a location - an ambience - you truly want or have dreamt of since you were 6, NOW is the time. Think of it this way—if it matters to you then it is important. It is your day after all. Occasionally details may not be available to you, for whatever reason. That doesn’t mean the whole day is ruined. It means this is a time for creativity. Rely on your fiancé and those you trust to help you come up with a work around if a complication arises.
 
Once you have the framework in place it can start to feel like a runaway train. But it doesn’t have to, and that is the point we are making here. Every decision can and should be yours. Your Wedding day, above all other days, is the day where you get to plan every moment. Sometimes it can feel difficult to “put the brakes on” when everyone is being so helpful. Every once in a while it is good to take a step back and look at the whole day rather than each detail separately. This idea can give you the perspective you need to finalize that last detail!
 
No matter what happens during all the planning keep one thing in mind. If at the end of the day you are married to the person that you can’t live without, then the day was a success.
