1. FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT THING!! Your wedding day is about you and your husband! The decorations and extra little goodies are fun but shouldn't be the thing that makes or breaks your wedding. Those little things are just for fun and if something doesn't come or go perfectly, remember that it is a day to celebrate your love and that's all that matters.
2. Listen to other peoples opinions! I had a hard time with this at first. I would be so set on my own ideas and then my mom or someone at the store would mention something and I would be so hurt because this was supposed to be all my idea but... needless to say, I always ended up loving other peoples ideas and took everything into consideration.
3. Get decorations that you will actually use in the future! There are a lot of things you rent/borrow but the little things that you will keep should be things that you want in your home. I wanted to go with a blush, cream, and gold look for my wedding. If you were to come into my house, literally pretty much every decoration from my house was at my wedding. I picked cute plants out and cake stands that I would want to use as centerpieces in my house. I also would pick random letter boards, light boards, marquee letters, etc. that I could use as part of my house decorations. Doing this helped me feel like I was not only getting things for my wedding but also for my house. For example, we had little white crates that we would put things on and I ended up putting a crate up as a collage in my home and I put plants and other things like that in it.
4. Your wedding day goes by sooo fast!! I kind of forgot that you spend most of the day taking pictures, standing in line, and other things like that. Don't let this disappoint you but just take every minute in enjoy it next to your husband! I viewed the line as so many people who helped me get here today and I realized how many people were there to love and support me. It is so neat to see it in that way and to thank everyone for helping me and my husband get our life started together.
5. The little things shouldn't stress you out! I didn't realize how many small things that you would need at a wedding like the tiny leaves on the tables or the knife and table topper for the cake. These small things are just little fun additions to your day. Don't let those things wreck you and make you angry.
Getting married is the absolute craziest but most amazing thing. I would sometimes be so excited and then so nervous. It is starting a whole new life and adventure with someone that you love and someone that you chose. I still don't know how I got so lucky to have Jaydon in my life. The connection we have is amazing and I am so grateful for that (I swear we can read each other's mind). Your wedding day is one day to celebrate a start of a whole new adventure and like I have said, it doesn't have to be perfect. Your relationship won't be perfect at first either. What makes it perfect is the commitment to work towards perfection. Me and Jaydon are still and will be forever working on learning about each-other because we are both different but that is the most perfect thing about being married. Good luck to everyone getting married and wedding planning and feel free to ask questions.
XOXO,
Kallie Ryan
