The show features a married wedding planning duo and their struggles with planning the perfect day for couples in the New York area. It made me appreciate both the simplicities and complexities of planning my own wedding. When A and I began this process, we had two visions: The rich vision and the poor vision. The rich vision was filled with opulence and high class. The poor version was a potluck in a backyard. There's nothing wrong with either concept. They're just different. I feel like we've struck a wonderful balance between getting everything we want and being frugal with our budget.
One of the issues I have with a blog I frequently read is her position on the "Wedding Industrial Complex" and the necessity to keep the real meaning of a wedding in mind. I can't possibly take such a hard stance because if I had the money to spend, I would have. Easily. But I think it's important to express yourself on your wedding day. Although you've invited all that are close to you in one way or another, it's an opportunity to express who you really are. One way I can share my love of crafts and A and my general zest for fun is to come up with creative boutonnieres. I can't wait for people to see them.
I thought to myself today that I would enjoy doing this for others' weddings. Giving people an opportunity to have a custom wedding and eliminate stress. It could be a career move... someday. In the meantime, I feel ecstatic to have a project completely checked off my list. Coming soon: a how-to slideshow featuring my craftiness.
