Hi Amy,

I love your general aethetic and blog. At the time of this post last year I couldn’t really resonate since I myself was no where close to planning a wedding. but now fast-forwarding almost a year later, I’m in exactly your boat. I would love to hear more about your whole process or any helpful tips you may have as a newly engaged bride-to-be!

Haha yay, you’ll never forget our anniversary ;) and I won’t forget your birthday! Totally, I’ve quickly come to terms with how I’m going to have to let go of details and prioritize having fun. Thanks for the encouragement, Rachel!

Girl, you are literally me. Exactly what went down for us with picking a venue and the same exact feels. And Chicago is my hometown! We have friends and family from there coming to LA for the wedding :)

Great choice of date – my birthday! It sounds like you have it all in hand but my advice would be to decide what matters to you and don’t worry about the other stuff. If you care about what your guests think then think about the things you remember most from the weddings you’ve been to and focus on that. You can’t worry about every tiny detail, it’s too much for one person! Above all, make sure you have fun on the day. Good luck with the rest of your planning!

I’m getting married in September (in Chicago!) and had a similar experience selecting a venue. I had a really specific look in mind, but when I actually started looking at spaces I realized the amount of $$/DIY work it would take was unrealistic. I’m sure it’s the same in LA, but MAN! weddings in Chicago are expensive. It was a pretty harsh reality check. We ended up selecting a place with a totally different aesthetic than I originally imagined, but once I kind of reconfigured my expectations I realized it was actually pretty perfect for us. And ultimately it was the spot I figured guests would enjoy the most.

Oh cool, congrats on picking a venue too! I NEVER dreamed or thought about my wedding and was almost dreading it but now the excitement has set in, I feel ya. Expensive no matter what, yup, and I didn’t know before that feeding everyone was what costs so much. Excited for you Stacy, and good call on giving yourself time to save and plan!
