We’re engaged!
Saying those words can bring a range of feelings, and those feelings may move about as the wind blows … or as your partner snores beside you.Your engagement is the first step of many, to saying, “I do”. But no matter how prepared you may have felt, the reality can be shockingly overwhelming. While you’re floating in a serene bubble of bride-to-be happiness, wedding practicalities can be relentless in bringing you down. Questions come in thick and fast and that bubble can begin to feel stifling.
Planning a wedding will give you a greater appreciation for wedding’s forever after.
You may have already realised that small touches are big in the wedding scene – and the bar keeps getting higher. One look at Pinterest will send your head spinning with possibilities. It’s hard to know which ‘small touches’ are worth investing your time and money in.
So before you go any further, remember, start as you wish to continue – happy and in love. Getting married is about two people. In years to come, your wedding photo will still be admired, but for the two people in it. Your choices need to make those two people happy.
Secondly, amongst the to-do lists (and there will be many to-do lists), remember to be kind to yourself. If it’s not enjoyable, change your plans. Have a break or go on a date with that person you love. When you’re not sure what option is worthwhile, make the choice that best reflects you. Wear something that shows your personality. Trust the value of the right accessories like your jewellery or veil, but also the ones people won’t immediately notice – like your shoes. Weddings are long days and you need to be confident you’ll be comfortable. For those momentous steps, up the aisle, and then back down as a wife, choose a shoe that allows you to be you and walk, dance and simply stand, like the bride you had always imagined to be.
