Let’s talk about wedding decor! Often times, I see couples choose decorations and flowers because they fit the wedding formula (i.e. We ordered floral centerpieces because that’s just what you do...). Does that sound familiar? I personally believe that your wedding decor should serve a purpose, and truly spark joy.Design your wedding with items that make you happy, like family heirlooms (if your grandmother’s china brings a smile to your face), or items you can reuse aga...in in your home (if sustainability is what calls to you). If you’re familiar with @mariekondo you’ll understand the importance of decision making based off of choices that you LOVE. I’ve been using her #KonMariMethod for years, and now I’ve developed my own techniques to Marie Kondo YOUR WEDDING!
