Must-Haves vs. Don't Cares

[Danyelle]

Hi Ladies,

 

Just curious about what aspects of your big day are super important to you and which you couldn't care less about.

 

So far, for me:

 

Must Have:

Close Fam/Friends

Kickass Photographer

Steel Pan Drummers

 

Don't Care:

Amazing Centerpieces

Aisle Runner

Cake Toppers

 

What are your must haves / don't cares?

A resort thats super fun, yet romantic enough for the wedding

 

Don't Cares:

Cake

Private Supper

Reception

[Ayita]

Must haves :

 

1. Family/friends

2. Real champagne (not sparkling wine) and stunning food (my French side - I could not do a Mexican or BBQ wedding)

3. More food and drinks than can be absorbed (I could not live with people being hungry or thirsty)

4. Great music

5. Professional photographer + videographer (for all those that could not make it)

6. Intimacy (not a huge resort - not a crowded beach)

 

Don't care :

 

1. Matching colors

2. Elaborate menus or place cards

3. Centerpieces, flowers : the hotel and beach are so beautiful by themselves

4. Aisle runner, bows on the chairs : we are on the beach... keep it simple

5. Live music

6. Cake (nobody will be hungry any more - see point 3 above lol)

7. Speeches

 

Must not have (I add to the list ) :

 

1. Receiving line

2. Feeding each other with the cake

3. Garter toss

4. Toast master / wedding bells

5. Religious conotations
