Alissa and Wesley’s wedding planning began when the bride starting looking for her dress. She wanted something witchy, romantic and inspired by nature, steering clear of anything too Halloween-y. Her answer was a sheer black gown, made to order by NRT Fashions and covered in hand-applied beading. The dress then set the direction for the entire day. Its botanical detailing fed into the use of trailing vines, overgrown flowers, old books and flickering candlelight.

I have spent most of my adult life inside other people’s weddings. For over eighteen years couples have trusted me with the most personal day of their lives. They’ve DMed me the questions they don’t dare ask anyone else. Sent photos before anyone else saw them. Asked if I’d be willing to share their story on my website, my social media and my magazine. When I stop and think about it, it’s kind of mind blowing. I’ve watched thousands of people step into this moment where their private relationship briefly becomes something pretty public.

When my fiancé brought up the idea of having a full-blown three-day destination wedding abroad in Portugal, you’d think I would’ve been over the moon with excitement. Instead, it triggered some of my deepest fears. Everyone always says, “A wedding is one of the few times in your life everyone you love will be in one room.” My brain’s response to that was: “Everyone we love? Am I…loved?” With that, my palms started to sweat, my chest felt tight, and I wanted nothing more than to hide. Now, reflecting on the past year of wedding planning, I can see the rollercoaster of my concerns and how they evolved every few months. Here are a few of them and what helped me work through it all.
