If I could have one superpower on a wedding day, it would be to control the weather. With over five weather Apps on my phone, you could tell that I’m trying. Hard.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This wedding had its challenges with weather - an entire morning or rain followed by 30mph wind gusts at sunset.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know what wasn’t a challenge? This bride and groom. They are absolutely delightful people who had an absolutely delightful wedding day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know wedding days are stressful. They’re imperfect days being managed by humans. Enjoy it. Live it. It really is a great day with the best people in your world 🥰

One of the hardest parts of a wedding day? Not the timeline. Not the weather.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s. The. Dress.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’ve never worn anything like this. It’s heavy. It’s poofy. It has a mind of its own.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND THEN...there’s the fear of getting it dirty. Girl. GURL.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s white. It touches the ground. You’re walking on literal Earth. The minute that dress goes on, it’s fighting for its life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And guess what? That’s okay!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A dress that lives a little? ICONIC.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wear the dang dress.
Don’t let it wear you 🫶🏻

To all the couples: if you want the party…
BE the party.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The one thing I’ve learned with nearly 500 weddings under my belt is this: the hype starts with YOU.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your people will go where you go.
So if you’re parked at the bar all night?
Expect a slow dance floor.
But if you’re out there on the dance floor, your guests will follow the lead.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get ON the dance floor.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swing that dress. Spill a little champagne. Make the memories.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You set the tone—so set it.

You know what’s NOT mutually exclusive?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A wedding that looks like it belongs in a magazine
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
a day that feels like your best friend’s birthday party collided with a rave.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can have soft lighting, romantic vows, heirloom floral
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
still be scream-singing “let’s go girls” with your veil over your face at 10pm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can walk down the aisle like a goddess
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
later be seen double fisting a champagne glass and White Claw.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can cry during the first look and have a chaos parade of a reception.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Beautiful wedding.
Banger of a day.
We’re doing both.

Ready for some unsolicited advice? Of course you are.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your outfit on a wedding day is going to a little messed up. Dirty, even. From the ground to the makeup to the drinks flowing from the bar. Those well-placed boutiques and boutonnieres will see some action. Your tie will become unbuttoned by the end of the night, and most likely you’ve kicked off your shoes to dance in your bare feet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wear it.
Wear it out.
Don’t let it wear you.
