Two years ago this week, Jordan and I were soaking in the final crazy days before our wedding. As friends and family started to arrive in town, the whirlwind of a wedding weekend began. We set up the barn, had our picnic rehearsal dinner at a local park, and then finally jumped into our wedding day. There were so many things I loved about how our wedding turned out. It was exactly like I had dreamed, and I still love flipping through our wedding pictures and video to remember all the little moments and details of the day.
When we look back on our wedding, our favorite part is all the ways that day told our story. Our wedding was uniquely us – a mixture of all the things, people, places, and ideas that defined our story and the story we were about to begin. While we had pulled in elements from weddings and styles we liked, we felt that our wedding represented who we are in so many ways .
There were a lot of things that went into planning our wedding day and making it ours. These five wedding planning tips below are the things I learned from planning our Memorial Day weekend, barn wedding two whole years ago, and I would do all of these things again in a heartbeat!
