What were the top three priorities for you in planning your wedding?<\/b> I wanted amazing food, beautiful flowers and decor, and a lot of little details.<\/i><\/p>\n

What wedding traditions or cultural traditions did you incorporated into your wedding and what did they mean to you?<\/b> We lit a unity candle which I thought was a lovely way to symbolize our families joining. I also wore my grandmother’s engagement and wedding rings. She recently passed away and I wanted to honor her on my wedding day, and the absolutely incredible relationship she and my grandfather had.<\/i><\/p>\n

Where there any places where you broke the rules in your wedding planning? Why and how did you do that?<\/b> We didn’t have a wedding cake. My husband doesn’t like sweets and i am allergic to gluten, so we decided it would be more fun to serve everyone three little desserts instead. We had orange infused creme brulee, molten chocolate cake with raspberry coulis, and key lime tarts all on one plate. Everyone loved it!<\/i><\/p>\n

What was your biggest wedding planning success?<\/b> All our guests said they had a great time and loved all the little details I incorporated into our wedding. We had custom made canvas welcome bags for all our out of town guests, watermelon lemonade served in glass jars with grey and white striped straws served by when guests arrived at the reception and baskets filled with grey flip flops (dancing shoes) in the lounge area. We had a late night snack of french fries and milkshakes passed to guests on the dance floor and lounge area, and we had the valets put midnight snack bags in each car (which contained two Voss water bottles and Pennsylvania Dutch hard pretzels) with a tag that read a midnight snack from the groom’s home state so they would have a surprise when they were leaving the wedding.<\/i><\/p>\n

What was the most important thing that you learned through the wedding planning process and what would you tell other brides-to-be?<\/b> That something will probably go wrong or not turn out the way that you planned, but don’t worry about the small things. At the end of the day all that matters is the commitment you are making to the love of your life, and as long as the two of you are there, everything else is just icing on the cake.<\/i><\/p>\n
