It’s easy to fall into traditional “traps” when it comes to your wedding; voluminous ball gowns, ruffled cakes, white linens, vows oozing with elegance and eternal love. While these are all incredible ways to celebrate your future life together, why not think outside the box?!

Maybe it’s time to tap into resources you never thought to take into consideration. Things right at your fingertips and under your nose. Unconventional venues, trendy cake designs, some fluffy guests (and we’re not talking about Aunt Gertrude’s mustache). These personal touches not only add character but may ease the process of planning, too!

Speaking of planning, you’re probably being pulled in many different directions. Mom wants this, sister wants that, your long lost cousin won’t accept anything other than pearls and blush sequins… Whew! How do you reign it all in?
