ADVICE

When we think about weddings and dive into planning the big day, certain beliefs tend to pop up — and honestly, some of them are pretty toxic.
If you let them go, I guarantee everything will feel lighter!
Your wedding is not a competition.
Stop comparing yourself to others. It’s not about who had the “better,” “fancier,” or “more stylish” celebration.
Sure, maybe your best friend had her big day styled exactly to her taste and budget — but that doesn’t mean you have to copy and paste someone else’s experience.
Do what feels right to you. Follow your gut.
Your wedding is not a stage performance.
You’re not required to entertain or impress everyone. This isn’t a marketing campaign or a content shoot for social media.
It’s about your love story — shared with the people you care about most.
And it’s definitely not a transaction.
A wedding is a celebration of love, not a commercial event.
Don’t expect the envelopes to “cover the costs” — let people give what they can, if they can.
Shift your focus from expectation to gratitude. That’s where the real joy lives.
