Careful planning and cohesive design is a huge part of every successful event. Even if you are planning on a budget, your wedding theme and look will speak to who you are just as your dress does. So create a wedding that has some relation to your life and your interests. Actually your interests mixed with your grooms interests is even better. Choose something that you feel passionate about and go with it. This goes a lot further than a lot of Hodge podge ideas combined in one chaotic room. A few elements done perfectly and exquisitely are far more memorable than a big jumble. Look at pictures in magazines and choose a couple of elements that really speak to you and share this with your planner. Although looking to much may overwhelm you because the ideas and possibilities out there are ENDLESS! Don’t try and squeeze all that in one place. Less truly is more in this situation. You want people to think how beautiful it is and how YOU it is. It is the most important day of your life and it should be magical in every way. Simplicity is your friend while making these crucial decisions. Good luck, It will be fabulous!
