Every time I get on Facebook, one of the first things I see are pictures from a wedding. Either someone I know got married, someone I know went to a wedding or someone I know took pictures of a wedding.
And I love it.
Yes, many people hear about weddings and either roll their eyes or make a reoccurring gagging sound. But I, on the other hand become giddy and slightly obsessed with whomever it was who got hitched.
Since we are right in the middle of wedding season — for those of you who didn’t know that was a real thing, it is — and it is in full swing. In honor of wedding season, I want to share my favorite things about all of the weddings that surround us:
1. The dress
Who doesn’t love a good wedding dress? There are millions to choose from, and each bride always ends up with the one made just for them. I love traditional dresses or non-traditional dresses. I love white, pink, blue or any color! I love seeing how the bride pulls off her dress, what accessories she has and her hair and make-up for the big day.
2. The first look
Any first look on a wedding day is so special. Whether it be with the bride and her father or husband-to-be, or even with the groom and his mother. Many people are against the idea of the couple seeing each other before they’re actually wed, but it’s such an intimate moment that won’t happen every day.
3. The first dance song
The first dance is one of the most classic traditions of a wedding ceremony. There are so many songs in each genre that make a good first dance tune. From Adele, Thomas Rhett and Frank Sinatra, you can’t pick a wrong song. I love when the couple picks a song that reflects both their personalities and sets such a good tone for the wedding.
4. The bridal party
Every bridal party in each wedding is so different. I always look forward to seeing the different colors, styles and people in each wedding. Each bridal party brings something new to the wedding scene. I always love getting to know — if I can — how the bridal party is related to the couple.
5. The bouquet
Pinterest is filled with many wedding bouquets, and that’s because there are a million to choose from. I’ve seen them made out of flowers, fabric and even broaches. I love flowers in general, but seeing how the bride matches her bouquet with the rest of her wedding is so fun.
I hope that my favorite things about wedding season have inspired any of you brides-to-be or anyone who has the same passion for weddings as I do.
Cheers to wedding season!
