Planning a wedding today often looks a lot different than it did in the past. Every culture and time period has its own traditions, but couples don’t always have to follow them. You can modernise outdated customs to make your ceremony more personal and skip anything that doesn’t feel authentic to your relationship. There are always ways to customise the details and make the day memorable.
Time, consistency and authenticity – and not being afraid to say it how it is!
When was the last time any online article came up with the goods right at the start?!
I thought I’d make it easy for you – the secret to wedding business blogging is time, consistency and authenticity.
If you can stick around another couple of minutes I’ll explain why!
Making time to blog your wedding business
“I don’t have time to blog” is a major black to most wedding businesses. We are BUSY – like, crazy busy. And at certain times of the year we barely have time to blink.
What’s wrong with this phrase? “On my wedding day…”
You might say the answer is simple: that a wedding is never about one person. It should always be “our” wedding day.
You’re absolutely right. But there’s so much more –
- talking about “my” wedding suggests you’re doing everything
- which also implies, the person you’re marrying isn’t doing anything (or isn’t doing as much)
- are you taking too much on?
- will you be equal partners later? Why not start now?

I have also, for many years, worried that weddings and the media are far too focused on brides.

Here are a few eccentric rules grooms and brides have implemented to make sure their day stays running smoothly.

“Unplugged” weddings are becoming more popular as many start resenting seeing everything through a screen. But why?
