Why Older Brides Are the ISH

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.
