One of the most important things that you can do for your wedding day is to make sure that you make it yours. So often, we may feel pressured to do things that other people want us to do.

This could be including photos of you and your partner throughout your decor, playing your favorite music, getting creative with table centerpieces, etc. Make sure that you are having your wedding done your way, not anybody else's.
