Planning your own wedding while working in the wedding industry comes with a unique set of challenges. After years of coordinating, implementing, and witnessing hundreds of couples’ big days, it would be easy to fall into the trap of trying to “one-up” everything you’ve seen, comparing your day to a hundred others, or planning from the perspective of your role rather than your heart. You know what it should look like, how the timeline should flow, what the flowers and tables should be - but knowing all of that can make it hard to step back and just be the bride.
