    I'd have to say the most important thing at my wedding has to be the details. Like, the flowers on the chairs...the bouquet's, etc. That's what makes it in my opinion!

    & ofcourse...saying my I Do's to my FI!

    What's the most important thing to you?

    Yes photography is def. SO important! That was one of the first vendors I booked! & having fun is for sure a must. I just know I'm going to be SO nervous in front of all those people! I was one of those girls in HS who COULD NOT get in front of ppl in the class! At all!!

    Guests for sure - we were considering a small DW, and decided to do a traditional wedding so that we could celebrate with our loved ones.

    Yeah, I guess the guests have something to do with it! Lol, jk :)

    I read somewhere once that they had the advice given to them to just sit back and take everything in, don't let it be like a night out on the town where you're just "in the moment", let it be something you'll remember. I am def. going to try & do that the most!

    Honestly, the most important thing to me is that my fiance and I remain true to who we are and guests walk away feeling that they've experienced just a bit more of who that is.

    I'm fortunate in that I have a man who embraces the fact that I want to recognize that a wedding isn't about a structured day and being who you feel you should be. I want guests to really feel like they got a glimpse into our relationship and that they were given the opportunity b/c we appreciate them being in our lives.

    We slashed our guestlist by about 50% and kept the budget the same. Details are important but we truly want to experience the best night of our lives.

    I really want our guests to leave thinking, "They are so in love!" I just really want our joy to speak through the whole day. While you can do that to a degree with the details, I think the biggest way you can do it is through a meaningful and heartfelt ceremony, so that's my biggest thing!

    honestly the fact that i get to marry the man of my dreams and we get to become a family.. everything else pales in comparison (although 2nd is definitely a photographer... shhhh.... don't tell M because he's cheap :D)

    it sounds hokey and cheesey and all, but honestly, the most important thing is simply love.

    -our love for one another
    -our love for our families/their love for us first as individuals and then as a couple
    -our love for our friends/their love for us
    -the love that went into our DIY projects
    -our love for some old traditions that we're adhering to as well as our love for new traditions that we are beginning on our wedding day. 
    -and our love of good food and good times shared with the people that we care most about in this life. 

    Materialistically - photography.  But we're both creative & art/photography lovers, so it still fits in with my love thing...  :) 

    all you need is love, right?

    the ceremony! I really care about the actual marriage part of the wedding. I've actually had kind of a hard time getting excited about planning a reception.

    The most important thing at my wedding is...my fiance. :) Or would that be, at some point, my husband? :D

     

    Otherwise, the most important thing is fun. I want to have fun. I want my FI to have fun. I want my guests to have fun. And I want fun that is relaxing and leaves people talking about what a wonderful time they had at our wedding.

    Mine was the emotion. Although, pre-wedding, I probably wouldn't have said that because I had NO idea it would be so amazing and deep. Beforehand, I probably would've said the pictures.

    I mean, obviously the most important thing to me and everyone else is saying "I do" to my man, but aside from that, it's gonna be the dress.  I have had a major fashion history/fashion design fascination since I was pretty young and to be able to splurge on a dress with such incredible detail and luxe fabrics, something so fantastical...that is going to be a dream come true for me.  Honestly, I could get married in a courthouse as long as I had a beautiful dress and a few pictures to prove I wore a beautiful dress. ;)

    Can I pick more than one?

    1. Location, location, location! But I had a destination wedding :) And the destination had special meaning for us. And when you plan a destination wedding, you often have to let go of some of the details.

    2. In hindsight, photographer. I was disappointed in my pro photos and wish I had been smarter about this one.

    3. That it be fun! For me, for my husband, for my guests.

    The overall vibe.

    I want my guests to feel welcome, cared for, and fetted. I want this day to be in part an expression of my appreciation of them.

    The most important thing other than our vows is that my guests really feel catered to.  I am a hostess at heart and I want my wedding to fun, comfortable and hassle-free for everyone.  I want them to eat a ton and drink too much!  For this purpose, I have the Chapel, Reception site, and hotel all within a two block radius!  No transportation needed!
