Christina + Max | Colorado Backyard Wedding

“How can I have the perfect wedding?” The answer is remarkably simple, but isn’t often found on instagram or wedding blogs. I’ll spill the tea though.

Here’s the recipe for a perfect wedding. It’s a simple five step process:

  1. Be here now. Don’t stress about perfect. Being fully present means so much more.
  2. Show up with gratitude, and express it. To each other. To the people you care about. To God or the universe.
  3. Bring the community you care about together. Tell your people you care about them.
  4. Have enough of a schedule organized that you can just show up and enjoy life. And then be willing to change that schedule if life happens differently.
  5. Don’t hold back. Laugh. Cry. Dance. No faking it allowed. Life happens once.

That’s the secret sauce. Presence, gratitude, community, celebration. The rest of it is icing on the cake (it’s a great cake. It’s yours after all.).
