Every little girl dreams of their wedding.

At least, that’s what the movies tell you.

I didn’t dream of the white puffy dress, the knight in shining armor or walking down the aisle. For the longest time, I didn’t even want to get married.

Until I did.

And that’s when the “shoulds” society has in place started raining all over the place. You “should” have real flowers, they are more elegant. You “should” keep this prestigious event serious and formal. You “should” invite everyone.

Let’s just say my DISNEY themed wedding was full of paper flowers and hidden mickeys. Also, my dress had pockets. Need I say more?

But, when I look back, all I can see is how much planning a wedding is just like building a GREAT BRAND.

Lesson 1: 

When I ask you to recall a wedding you’ve gone to… which one comes to mind?

I’m 99.9% sure it’s not the boring wedding of your second cousin once removed and his stuck up wife. It’s the wedding that had PERSONALITY.

The lesson: Personality makes you and your brand memorable. 

Lesson 2:

We all admire the revolutionary brands: Apple, Disney, Lego. But, what we fail to recognize is how much you have to say NO to in order to become that revolutionary brand with a clear mission, purpose and values.

When planning a wedding everyone is going to push THEIR thoughts on you, your fiancé and the event. It’s important to stick to your beliefs and do things your way and you do this by speaking up for yourself and your values.

The lesson: Revolutionary brands have something to say and they say it LOUDLY.

 

Lesson 3:

Finally, think of the best wedding you’ve gone to. What was so magnificent about it? The food? The music? The decor?

Truth is, it’s probably a mixture of these things, because in events like this all of your senses are taking in your surroundings and creating an experience. A great brand should do the same thing.

The lesson: Your brand goes further than your visuals… it needs to have dimension.

And just like I planned and DIYed my entire wedding,
