Why Older Brides Are the ISH

12/27/2019

Love can hit you at any time. You can be graduating high school and meet them at the local pizza place. Or maybe you’re pulling an all-nighter for the big proposal at work and run into the love of your life at a late-night coffee shop. Since love is so unexpected and atypical, brides shouldn’t have to feel like they need to be either. Love can happen at any age, and to be honest, older brides got it going on! Here are our top 5 reasons why older brides are the ISH!

Wisdom in Wedding Decisions
Wedding planning is full of decision-making. While some brides may be unsure of what they truly want their wedding to look like, older brides have the wisdom and tried-and-true opinions to know what they want and how they want it.
No Problem Saying No
Often times when planning a wedding, brides feel the need to please everyone around them: loved ones, soon-to-be family, friends, and people donating to the wedding fund. That pressure can lead to brides saying yes to choices they don’t actually agree with. However, older brides have enough life experience to understand that it is their day and focus on pleasing themselves. They also have the maturity to silence egos and keep a grip on the planning methods. In short, older brides take care of business!
Flexibility
Just like anything else, sometimes Plan A doesn’t work out in life. Older brides understand this, so going into the wedding they keep an open mind and are typically more flexible with coming up with alternatives. And usually, the wedding turns out even better than they imagined!
Reliable Income
Older brides have been working long enough to have built up a pretty hefty special event fund. So, the wedding can be “nothing is off-limits” fabulous! Open bar? We’ll be there!
Uniqueness
Older brides have the freedom to break from tradition and design their wedding to look like whatever they want. Their wedding dress can be a peach jumpsuit or a white ball gown. They can have a large-scale wedding in their hometown or a destination wedding on a beach in Latin America. Older brides are primed and seasoned enough to have a wedding that’s out of this world.

6 Questions to Ask + Tips for choosing the perfect Bridal Party

1/13/2017

Photo: Maryna Marsten

Selecting your bridal party for your wedding can is a really daunting task for most couples for a number of reasons. Often time our clients spend a lot of time trying to be pick the best bridal party and sometimes you should, but sometimes picking the best bridal party for your wedding is simple. Without thinking about it, only noting the people that really come to mind, answer the following questions.

it's 2 a.m. and you're locked out of your house, who would you call? then? Why?
If your car had a flat tire and you needed a ride to work and had to get there on time, who would go out of their way to come pick you up?
If you needed helping moving in an emergency because a pipe burst in your home, who would you call?
If they weren't there, would you miss them? Why?
When you scroll through your phone log, what names and numbers pop up?
What if you didn't worry about how people felt and there was no pressure, who would you pick?

Think about it. These people that you mentioned are the ones you probably do real life with and will be there for you when you need them and vice versa. Try to keep in mind the following three tips when considering your bridal party

When you are selecting your bridal party, please keep in mind the bridal party that you don't need are those who:

Don't pick flaky friends. Not every friend needs to be in your bridal party, because honestly you can’t depend on them to be on time or show up when showing up was all they had to do. Be reasonable and smart about deciding who can commit and be there when you need them to be.
Don't pick kids just because you have to. Just because it’s the "norm," you don't have to replicate it. Most of the time, kids get stagefright and do the exact opposite of what you had in mind.
Don't have a large bridal party, just to have a large bridal party. Cost, organization, dependability, and dress/tux fittings are all things you have to consider when thinking about the size of your bridal party. They may be your 10 closest friends but is it reasonable and will you be able to coordinate all of that?
