Consider all the elements. The time of your ceremony may be morning or sunset, inside or out, perfect weather, nice-fitting dress, gorgeous location, and the darling flower girl. Your 90-minute massage, manicured nails, coiffed hair & professional make up have made you stress-free and you are glowing.

Some believe the most expensive elements must be the finest. Going overboard to create a beautiful wedding is common.  Beautiful flowers, beautiful favors, beautiful seat covers, beautiful photos, and beautiful bridesmaids dresses make for, well, a beautiful, and sometimes costly wedding.

What makes a beautifulwedding, truly beautiful? It’s your relationship.

This isn’t just the bride’s day; it’s the bride and groom’s day. The most important thing on your beautiful wedding day is what you two have cooking! Your relationship is truly the “beauty” that will enable you “let go” of a stressful wedding planning season and remember that nothing has to ruin it. This is why people are coming to your wedding.

Webster says beautiful is “having qualities that delight the senses, especially the sense of sight.” If you lay eyes on, that is, meet and greet just twice a day for 50 years, that’s going to be 36,500 beautiful encounters with the one you truly love.

It’s about making eye contact in the ceremony aisle for the first time, and the rest of your life, knowing what your heart feels is real beauty.
