Celebrating Love
What does celebrating love mean?
Valentine's Day often feels like a gentle reminder to stop and reflect on your relationship, how it shaped you as individuals, what you have experienced together and what that journey has brought into your lives.
♡ Take a moment to reflect: What first drew you to each other?
A Wedding is more than a day – it’s the feeling!
So many couples, whilst planning their wedding, feel pressure to achieve “perfection”, to meet certain expectations or criteria for the day to be considered a success. But the truth is, a wedding is not about perfect at all.
A wedding is the physical expression of a love story. It showcases the journey you’ve been on together and celebrates your commitment to one another.
Your guests love hearing your story and witnessing that commitment. They will not remember the sage green napkins or the tealights on the tables, they will be focused on you. They will be captivated by the warmth, joy and love that your wedding day holds.
♡ Take a moment to reflect: When you look back, how do you want your wedding to feel?
The Power of Personal Touches
Personal touches are one of the most meaningful ways to reflect your story and the elements that make your relationship uniquely yours.
These don’t need to be extravagant or expensive. Sometimes, it’s as simple as the music choices throughout the day. Guests love seeing personalisation and feeling the connection to your journey through these thoughtful details.
A photo wall capturing your journey together or table names inspired by places you’ve travelled can add an elegant and subtle reflection of your relationship.
♡ Take a moment to reflect: What comes to mind when you think about your relationship? What small details tell your story?
Love, just as it is
Weddings can be challenging to plan. Social media is filled with articles about “Why your guests might be bored,“ and “How to ensure your guests get the most out of the wedding." It is easy for those messages to takeover.
When that happens, the focus can shift away from you and onto pleasing everyone else.
But the truth is simple - they are there to celebrate you, your love and your journey together.
Let go of the pressure created by trends and expectations. Tune into your relationship and allow it to guide your choices. The focus doesn’t have to be solely on your guests; it deserves to be on the two of you as well.
♡ Take a moment to reflect: If your wedding was nothing but a reflection of your relationship, what would this look like?
Reflect
Weddings can be busy and overwhelming, so remember to pause. Take it in. Breathe.
Return to the heart of it all, love.
The strongest weddings are built on intention, not comparison.
♡ Final takeaway: How do you want to step into married life and what do you want to carry forward from your wedding day?
♡ What made you propose or say yes?
♡ How do you want to feel when you walk away from your wedding day?
♡ What moments truly define your relationship?
When love is celebrated with intention, the day becomes unforgettable ❤️
