Are You Inspired?
In order to get what you want and plan the wedding that you are longing for, you need to first be clear on what it is that you DO want. If you feel wishy-washy, overwhelmed, or think that you may have TOO many good ideas, you need to get inspired and get focused.
Get inspired with a “Tear Out Session” to figure out what it is that you really do want. This will help you determine underlying colors, shapes, lighting, textures, style, and atmosphere that appeals to you. In the past many of my brides have said that seems too simple. And actually, in planning, it’s usually the easiest answers that provide the best results.
Your Fab Bride Assignment:
Take a stack of your favorite magazines (including those you already subscribe to). I suggest wedding, lifestyle, design, home, gardening, fashion magazines and more…The more variety, the better!
Go through each and every magazine and tear out every single page that appeals to you, not thinking about what it is or why it appeals to you. Make a stack of your tear-outs, get a good pen and sticky note pad.
Go through each torn page, and place your stickies on the page, noting what it is that you love (colors, flowers, textures, lighting, dresses, and more). You’ll find that after you do this, you have a very definite pattern of what you’re drawn to and what makes you happy.
These commonalities are exactly what your wedding theme will be…and will show you what you really want. It works EVERY single time!
It’s so easy and fun!! Now you can have a grand time getting inspired for your wedding!
