What It’s Really Like Planning a Wedding With the Internet Watching

Hi Brides-to-be, it’s Lauryn of The Skinny Confidential and as I approached this post I wondered, in the endless sea of wedding posts on the Internet how can I offer something different? Something unique? Something not-so-bridal? Then I realized, why not talk about what it’s really like to plan a wedding with the Internet watching!

DOCUMENTATION
Firstly, you’re documenting the whole process of the actual planning stages. It has added a bit more work, but it’s also really cool to be able to look back and remember all of the moments. For instance, I asked The Skinny Confidential readers which invitations they liked best. The dress shopping, checking out venues, tastings, it’s all documented. Michael has had to step in as our photographer at least 100 times by now. Whether you’re a blogger or not, it’s important to document the journey down the aisle, not just the big day itself.

“When you broadcast your life online,

there are certain things you really want to keep to yourself.”

PRIVACY
When you broadcast your life online there are certain things you really want to keep to yourself. Sometimes you just want to be in the moment instead of focusing on how to share the moment. For example, when Michael and I first got engaged, we kept it quiet for OVER A MONTH. We wanted to just enjoy being engaged without having to post, Tweet, or Snapchat the experience. We honestly just talked about it with each other and shared the new with close friends & family instead of responding to comments in the first month, we were just enjoying it with each other. Of course, once we were ready, we decided to share it with the world wide web. Planning an engagement announcement of your own? Here are some great ideas.


INTIMATE
Finally, because our life is so public, we decided to go with a very small, intimate and secluded wedding. Just like our engagement, there are certain moments we truly want to savor and feel fully present for. A bigger wedding means more hands to shake, people to see, and planning. I’d rather focus my energy on being present. Which is why we decided our wedding will be as intimate as possible, so we can really connect with everyone there in the moment with us. That being said, every moment will be recorded and photographed. In a nutshell, the theme of our wedding is small, intimate, but fully documented. We’re bringing our family, close friends, and the entire The Skinny Confidential Team to celebrate the experience after the fact. So there you have it, those are the three ways I’ve noticed planning a wedding as influencer is a bit different! Would love any of your wedding tips and tricks. I kind of need all the help I can get it!

So there you have it, those are the three ways I’ve noticed planning a wedding as a blogger has made my experience a bit different. And I’d love any of your wedding tips and tricks…I kind of need all the help I can get it!
