What if a big traditional wedding was just not your thing.

Maybe you want to celebrate with a smaller group.

Or what if you just wanna do what YOU want to do without anyone else’s opinion?

EXPLORING IS A LOT LIKE MARRIAGE

Traditional, Shmaditional!

Out with the old and in with the adventure, There’s nothing like the anticipation of exploring a new place. It can make you feel so alive, SO FREE!

I understand the need to cut the guest list and go somewhere unimaginably beautiful. …and if you want to abandon the traditional wedding day, let’s get outdoors and celebrate your love there!

The only person you need to please,

is yourself!

What if I told you, your wedding day was meant to be unique to who you are as a couple? A couple that has envisioned incorporating nature and all its surroundings. A script meant to be broken. Your wedding is supposed to be all about you and trust me, I know how scary that can be.

Dream of A wedding exactly like yours!

I’m here to tell you to BE BRAVE! Be brave when the world gets a little scary. When you want to do what you want, but the pressure of family and planning pulls you back in.

What if a traditional wedding wasn’t something you always envisioned?

What if you wanted the day to be all about you and your fiance? You didn’t want to spend it greeting every single table, or rushing from one place to the next, or throwing bouquets.

What if none of that was how you envisioned your big day?

Permission to take your time

Following a strict timeline, accounting for every second of the day is not something you really envision for your day. Rushing from one place to the next, literally watching your day fly before your eyes. What if we could take our time, go slow, and BREATH? Enjoy every minute, not stressing over anything.

Love is not meant to be rushed

Enjoy all the little things that happen throughout the day. Soak in the weather, the smells, and everything you see. Take your love outside and celebrate in nature.

Big weddings are just

not your thing

You prefer not to be the center of attention, and the thought of everyone staring at you while you walk down the aisle terrifies you?! Or maybe you feel completely uncomfortable with the idea of having a bunch of people staring at you during what feels like it should be a private moment between the two of you.

Look, I see you! I get it. My second love language is Words of Affirmation and when words can be hard enough to say alone, I could only imagine the pressure of saying them in front of others.

You would rather spend money on the honeymoon or new house

The average traditional wedding produces about 400 lbs of trash. What if you preferred to save money on all the fluff that will eventually go to waste on a smaller wedding? Saving money (and the environment) for the honeymoon or new house.

Flowers die, food + cake are eaten, and spending so much money on wedding decor (just for one day) really doesn’t sit well with you.
