✨ Bridal Planning: The Part Nobody Talks About ✨

Something I’ve noticed over and over again, sitting with my brides in the hair and makeup chair:

They open up.

They share their stress, their overwhelm, and how different the wedding planning journey feels compared to what they imagined as little girls. We grow up dreaming of the day, the perfect dress, the perfect venue, the perfect moment. But what we don’t always dream about is the pressure that leads up to it.

The truth is: planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful.

The high expectations, the opinions, the endless decisions, it can all start to chip away at the joy you’re supposed to feel. So many brides feel like they’re carrying the weight of what everyone else wants, family, friends, traditions, Pinterest-worthy aesthetics, and somewhere in there, their own excitement gets lost.

But as I always tell my brides, sitting in that chair:

At the heart of it all, it’s about you and your partner.

It’s about creating a day that reflects your love, your promises, and the beginning of your life together. The vows, the feelings, the commitment, that’s what truly matters. The flowers, the table settings, the color palettes, those are beautiful, but they’re just the backdrop.

When you strip it all away, what people remember is your joy. Your love. Your glow.

So if you’re a bride feeling the weight of the planning process:

✨ Take a breath.

✨ Recenter on why you’re doing this.

✨ Remember: your wedding isn’t a production, it’s the start of your story.

And on that morning, when you sit in my chair, I promise, we’ll find your calm, your joy, and your glow together. 💕
