Q: Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind your day? Did you have a specific theme, style or color palette? Did you incorporate any cultural or religious traditions in any part of your day?
A: Our wedding was simply amazing - a dream come true for us. In planning the wedding, I knew I wanted it to be elegant, classic and timeless, but I didn't want it to be too formal and stuffy. I wanted guests to have the opportunity to get dressed up, but also relax and let their hair down. Trey and I love to have fun and get down on the dance floor, so we knew we needed to have a fun environment for our wedding. I love neutral palettes, so for colors, I chose ivory, gold, and champagne with hints of blush for that pop of color. We didn't really have any cultural or religious traditions that were part of our day, but we did make sure that we had a traditional Christian ceremony.
Q: Do you have any wedding planning or marriage advice that you'd like to share with other couples planning their day?
A: Get a wedding planning guide/book and a wedding planner!! I stuck to my wedding planning book and tried to complete everything within the given timeframes which definitely helped with stress levels. Make sure you pick a good team of vendors - multiple people told me I had the "Dream Team" for our wedding which allowed me to put all of my trust in them and let them take care of everything. I booked a spa day the week of the wedding and I highly recommend that! I was so stressed the week of the wedding, and after my spa day, it was like a huge weight was lifted. We're one month in on our marriage, so I'm not sure we're "experts" yet, but here's my advice so far...Make sure you make each other laugh and smile every single day. Don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry" or "I was wrong". And remember to say "I love you" - each day you have together is precious and don't ever take that for granted.
