It's personal.

I'm taking a short break from unveiling all of our new exciting films to talk about something personal....your wedding.

Although it seems like ages ago that I was planning my own wedding (almost 2 years!), there is one lesson that continues to resonate looking back at my own and when advising new brides today-make it personal!

We all know that wedding planning can be quite overwhelming, especially when moms, future mom-in-laws, bridesmaids, etc... chime in. Everyone wants the best for you on your wedding day, but remember only you know what that is. While brides won't not win every battle against mom, it is imperative to sit down with your fiance and pick one, two or three elements about your wedding that are MOST important to you and make them your own. Maybe it's something that illustrates you and your fiance's journey like the sunflowers he gives you every year for your birthday or maybe it's postcards on each table of all of the places you have been together. For us, a book of recipes including our mom's signature dishes to share with our guests topped our list along with a couple of others including dinner menu items and, of course, our Love Story film.

There are so many decisions to make and so many opinions to keep in mind, but as long as you have those few things that are completely yours, all of the other decisions will be much easier compromised. So go for it, make it personal.
