Before you start planning your wedding, talk through these three points to frame the type of wedding you want to create. Then the rest of the planning will go much easier. Good luck!
- Do you want a big or small wedding? There is no right or wrong, but it governs almost every other decision
- What feeling do you want? It's not about theme, decoration or color, it's about the feeling !
- What do you want to prioritize? Time together? Food? Music? Pictures? Venue? Decoration? Party?
