It’s no secret that most women begin planning their weddings when they’re still kids. They imagine their dress, the decor, their family laughing, and everything else down to the finest details. So, you can imagine that once they’re actually engaged and the whimsical fantasizing must become real-life wedding planning, it can get pretty dicey. After all, there is an entire other human being involved in this whole marriage thing.
The union of an off-beat bride and a more traditional groom, or vice versa, is very common these days. The differences in style and taste will inevitably make their way to the wedding planning process. The good news is, if you can manage to achieve a balanced blend of styles and personalities, your wedding day can keep everyone comfortable while also still speaking your voices, both of them.
Choice of venue and attire can be rough.
Agreeing on a color scheme can avoid attire conflicts
First off, the choice of venue can be a fire starter right off the bat. What if the bride prefers rustic weddings while the groom is thinking more traditional. The best bet is to each come up with a list of the things you desire most in a location. Then, bring the lists together and try to find the venue that combines the most factors from both.
Most of the time, both bride and groom will have a strong opinion about their wardrobe because they’re the one who’s going to have to wear it all day! Again, how do you find a middle ground? Well, say the bride is going with a 1920s theme. She can tell her future husband that he can choose any color he wants, but to keep it in line with the theme, or the future newlyweds can agree on a color scheme and each choose their own style or theme.
Decor decisions can become a battleground.
Let both personalities show through
There are so many aspects to wedding decor that it’s probably the biggest area of contention in terms of the wedding planning process. An easy method: Split up who gets to choose what, such as the bride handles party favors and the groom chooses table decorations. This way, you won’t get in each other’s way and the results can be uniquely eye catching.
You can also take the list-comparison approach, discussed above for choosing venues, and each write down your desires for the decor and then come together and compare to find a happy middle ground.
Marriage is a compromise, get used to it!
Get used to doing everything together
They say the definition of a good compromise is one that leaves both parties equally dissatisfied. Fortunately, weddings are different. Marriage, itself, is an agreement and people don’t voluntarily choose unhappiness too often, yet they do get married frequently. The truth is, if you can’t find a happy medium between the styles and tastes of both you and your future spouse on your wedding day, then good luck with the lifetime of compromises that is marriage!Live Picture Studios specializes in wedding cinematography and wedding videography in NJ, NY, CT, PA.
