When Breanna Beaudoin and Maxwell Pilling got engaged in late July 2018, Beaudoin started planning their dream wedding right away.
February 10, 2019.
Breanna Beaudoin and Maxwell Pilling are getting married this summer.
SA国际影视传媒淏eing in my post-engagement bliss, I went a little crazy and started planning immediately by setting a date within a week of our engagement,SA国际影视传媒� she said.
Their first and biggest worry was deciding on a venue.
SA国际影视传媒淲e had our hearts set on a rural wedding at a family cabin. However, with catering and rental services unwilling to travel our distance, we ended up having to change our venue,SA国际影视传媒� said Beaudoin.
The couple booked Fairmont Hot Springs in British Columbia a full year in advance and then moved onto securing a photographer.
SA国际影视传媒淭hankfully we were early enough to book Angela Gzowski as our photographer,SA国际影视传媒� Beaudoin exclaimed.
When large extended families are involved, planning a wedding can be tricky, especially relating to accommodations. Beaudoin had to make sure their venue could host up to 150 guests, including hotel rooms, camp sites and airport shuttles.
SA国际影视传媒淚 love to plan, so I tried to get as much booked, paid for and out of the way as possible,SA国际影视传媒� said Beaudoin.
Although big-ticket elements like the venue and photographers might consume much of the wedding budget, beware of the lesser costs too because they can add up quickly. Music licensing fees, marriage commissioner fees, catering gratuities and centrepieces rang in at $1,700 alone for Beaudoin and Pilling.
SA国际影视传媒淭hank you gifts, invitations, all of the smaller costs really add up when having a destination wedding,SA国际影视传媒� said Beaudoin.
SA国际影视传媒淭he other hard part is the pressure from family and friends who have a certain expectation of how your wedding should be. Our friends and family tend to throw a lot of well-meaning suggestions and opinions our way that can easily go from helpful to daunting (when) trying to accommodate everyoneSA国际影视传媒檚 ideas.SA国际影视传媒�
Her advice for anyone planning a wedding is not to feel pressured to please other people.
SA国际影视传媒淭his is your wedding and it's strictly about you and the love you share with your partner,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淒o what you need to do to ensure your day is all about you and your partner SA国际影视传媒� delegate as many small tasks as possible to lighten the load.SA国际影视传媒�
Planning a wedding is a lot harder than it looks, and it can be easy to get caught up in the details of such a huge task.
SA国际影视传媒淭ake your time and enjoy it because you will remember the happiness of that day for the rest of your lives,SA国际影视传媒� said Beaudoin. SA国际影视传媒淚t will all be worth it SA国际影视传媒� at least thatSA国际影视传媒檚 what ISA国际影视传媒檓 telling myself.SA国际影视传媒�
