Thank you for this post!
I would LOVE...Hi Morgan,<br /><br />Thank you for this post!<br /><br />I would LOVE to feature you and it over on The Flirty Guide website and blog. Everything you've said here bothers me about the wedding and fashion industries as well. I've worked in the wedding industry for 14 years now and it honestly breaks my heart when I see brides so caught up with impressing their guests or trying to achieve (what is for most of us) an unattainable ideal that they lose sight of what is most important on their wedding day: Their Marriage.<br /><br />Please let me know if you would like to be featured on The Flirty Guide. I've just started a new feature called "When Wedding Bloggers Wed" and I think you and your post would be a perfect addition to it! <br /><br />If you click on my name here you can use the contact link on my blog to let me know if you are interested.stacie tamakihttp://theflirtyblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839153688845540894.post-38405225510041988412010-01-26T10:17:24.688-06:002010-01-26T10:17:24.688-06:00Great blog post!

As a bride, I think it’s really important to keep in mind that while it’s definitely fun to look and dream, it’s important to keep your perspective about what’s attainable in the “real” world. In my blog posts, I always try my best to be honest and upfront about our wedding plans, what we’re doing, and what we can afford. Even if our wedding is not “perfect” by media standards, it will be perfect for us.<br /><br />One thing I’ve also noticed is that there’s a lot of pressure in the wedding world to always be unique. On one hand, I think it’s amazing that there are so many fun ideas out there, and I definitely want our day to be as personalized and reflective of our personalities as possible! After all, what fun is a cookie-cutter wedding? But I also think that brides need to realize that if they do want to stick with the traditional cake, flowers or ceremony vows, that’s totally OK, too, as long as it makes the couple happy!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226523010102160874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839153688845540894.post-8022376647411282022010-01-13T20:13:00.985-06:002010-01-13T20:13:00.985-06:00Good for you!!!

I've limited the amount of professional wedding blogs I read (and magazines too) because it's true that your expectations can get too high after seeing such "perfect-looking" weddings. I look forward to seeing your photos!GMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416137629786778346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839153688845540894.post-24350016229172104362010-01-13T18:28:58.295-06:002010-01-13T18:28:58.295-06:00This is such an important post.
