All in the Details..

As it goes, it may seem like the 'wedding season' is ending, but according to my files, September-December is just as busy as May and June. I know I don't do as many blogs as I wish I did (which I promise I'm trying to get better at) but a very stressed out bride came into the store yesterday and I thought I'd share some of her concerns and also my thoughts on them! Her Wedding is in December and while she has all of the big stuff done, (dress, venues, photog, etc) she is stressing out about the details like her veil, jewelry and table decorations.  I almost feel bad because I think my look might have scared her for a second when I asked her if she was really that stressed about earring options. I know I know, getting married puts a lot of stress on brides and there are so many decisions to be made. But as all you married people know, what really matters at the end is that you've married the person you want your forever with. Nobody is going to remember your earrings or hair piece. Unless you do something wild, which I always suggest making a statement! :)

So with that being said, when you are looking for any type of accessory and you come across something you like/love, buy it! It's as simple as that. Buy it and be done with it and cross it off your list. Don't waste days traveling from one store to another just because you think you might find something better. Let's be honest, there is always probably going to be something better, but more than that there will be a lot of terrible things too. Don't waste your time and certainly don't get stressed out about it. If this is something you just don't have the time for- ask a friend. Give her a budget and let her pick some options for you. Doing that might be a little more fun anyway because friends usually know whats best for you better than you do. :)

As for the table decorations, I just wanted to follow up that this particular bride mentioned she was going to do Poinsettias since her wedding was in December. I love the idea and suggested she put a table runner on some of the tables just to give it an extra pop. I'd love to hear any suggestions you might have for decorating for a winter wedding so I can pass them along to my brides!
