Sulla, you are my hero.
Brides to be, please do yourself a favor and read up on the Sulla Tips. Even if you’ve already seen them, you should read them again (as I did whenever I felt myself turning back into a wedding-planning zombie)! The Sulla Tips were my most valuable and treasured wedding resource by far.
The core of her advice is this: “If you want to make your wedding better, make it richer in feeling, not stuff.”
Her words of wisdom were absolutely right. Details such as the flower arrangements, invitations, and programs were nice, but they didn’t really matter.

In fact, we chose not to have a lot of extras that the wedding industry misleads brides into thinking are necessary or expected. We did NOT have any favors (gasp!), out-of-town bags, menu cards, guestbooks, serving sets, personalized ribbons/ matchbooks/ napkins/ coasters, and so forth. I’m not saying that these things are not worth having- in fact, I’ve been to wonderful weddings where they did have these extra touches that I noticed and appreciated. But are they absolutely necessary? No. Did our guests miss these details and think our wedding was inferior? Definitely not!
Years from now, we won’t really remember the little details and extra touches. But we will probably remember how good the reggae band and the DJ were…

…how the drinks were flowing and how delicious the buffet was! (photo taken by a guest)

Decades from now, when we’re old, gray, and wrinkled.. we probably won’t remember those important details either. (Unless I go back and read my blog entries! ;))
So what will always always be remembered?!
The funny moments during the ceremony..

The personalized vows we wrote that got everyone crying..

How in love we were..

How much we all laughed and enjoyed ourselves..

And how ridiculously fun the party was and how we all ended up dancing in the pool!

Thank you, Sulla! Thank you for teaching me that: “If you want to make your wedding better, make it richer in feeling, not stuff.”
What do you think of the Sulla Tips? Do you agree or disagree?
So wise you are Mrs Ant! I totally agree with you. For some reason, Mr Apple has been telling me that this whole time but it doesn’t sink in. It wasn’t until your email and tonights blog that made me realize he’s right. Hahaha.
