Submitting Your Practical Wedding

So, wedding season is upon us, and I know that lots and lots of readers are making a dash down the aisle this summer. Once you get back from your honeymoons, or just relax after all the excitement, I would love if you would consider submitting your wedding to be featured on this blog.

How do you know if your wedding is practical? Well, first off, if you read and enjoy this blog, it probably is. I have said it before, and I will say it again, there are no specific budget limitations that qualify you for having a practical wedding. Budgets are all relative, depending on where you live, how many guests you have, and what kind of resources you have, and the last thing I want is to give brides some other benchmark to live up to. Remember: the ideal* of a practical wedding is one that doesn't make you broke, and doesn't stress you out. Enough said.

To submit your wedding, email me (meg at apracticalwedding dot com):
  • 10-15(ish) pictures of your wedding
  • Your first names
  • Where your wedding was held
  • What made your wedding creative
  • What made your wedding thrifty (whatever that meant for you)
  • What made your wedding sane
  • If you have more of your wedding pictures online, and you'd like to share them, email me the link
I can't share every wedding that's submitted to me, but I love reading about every single one. I can't wait to see what kinds of weddings you are planning.

*Note: this is just a ideal. Obviously all weddings stress you out a little bit, and make you a little broke. But, they are good goals to keep in mind, no?

hmmmm - doesn't stress you out requirement. I think that one might have to be a little flexible. ;) Ironically, making my wedding more practical (and budget friendly) has been the most stressful part because my parents (who are footing the bill for this shindig) are the ones coming up with ideas that make me say "thats unreasonable!" A little backwards and a little stressful from time to time. Ahh the fun of family. I can't wait to see some of the ones people submit!

Hear, hear, Michelle. Sometimes my 'rents, God Bless their generosity, actually stresses me out because I don't want to take advantage of it for just one single day. :)
