BEST ADVICE FOR PLANNING A WEDDING/TO BRIDES:Trust your gut-feeling. Understand it is a process which is different for everyone. It is great to be inspired by other weddings, but the best thing you can do is make your wedding suit you as a couple. Let it be a reflection of the things you love, and who you are.
