One of Colleen’s good friends at work recently got engaged and she has started doing some wedding planning. Initially she thought that she would have a winter wedding and was very excited about her “winter” color scheme. Then she realized that she would need to have her wedding in the spring and has been feeling very sad that her desired color scheme wouldn’t work for the season of her wedding. I remember Colleen having some similar concerns when she was planning her wedding. She felt pretty set on her colors of mint green, blush, and grey but was worried that they were too “springy” for a fall wedding. Then she got over it. The truth is, when it comes to weddings, like with many other things, rules are meant to be broken. You should do whatever you want because as long as you love it, it will work perfectly for your wedding. You will probably hear many (well meaning) people question your ideas and tell you things like you made a poor choice for your bridesmaid colors (this happened to Colleen too) or that the hairpiece that you love won’t work with your dress. Smile and thank them for their opinion but know that you will always know better them them what works best for you. If a wedding has a happy bride and groom, then it will automatically be a success because you naturally set the tone for your wedding. If you look at any wedding blog, you will find a new example every day of wedding “rules” being broken in weddings that are so lovely and special that they are chosen to be published.
