Even when it’s hard, the goal is always the same. Give them something beautiful to cry about. That memory is the whole point.

Part 2 of my daughter’s interview series.

Some wedding designs are loud.
This one whispered.

Soft blush florals. Deep velvet tones. Pearls draped like jewellery across the tablescape. A ceremony space that felt cinematic without trying too hard. Every detail was intentional, layered, and a little unexpected in the best way.

And can we normalize bouquets that look like art installations instead of tight little balls of roses? Because THIS? This had movement. Drama. Texture. Personality.

The best part though?
None of it, trendy for the sake of being trendy. This one had feeling and was FELT.

A reminder that your wedding design doesn’t need to look like everyone else’s Pinterest board to feel timeless.

It just needs to feel like you.

Which detail are you stealing for your future wedding? 👀

Hacker: “Send me $10,000 or I’ll leak your photos.”

Me: babe… please do. Maybe then everyone will finally understand how many candelabra angles, linen tests, and emergency setup photos it takes to make wedding magic happen.

My camera roll is 92% weddings, 6% timelines, and 2% screenshots I swore I’d come back to.

Threat level: nonexistent.

Tell me I’m not the only one with a camera roll full of pure chaos 👀

Building a business in this industry wasn’t designed with us in mind.
No hand-me-down networks.
No built-in access.
No roadmap that looks like our reality.

And yet… here we are.

Black startups in the wedding industry aren’t just launching brands.
We’re building ecosystems.
We’re shifting what’s considered “standard.”
We’re creating space where none existed before.

Every time you choose culture over comfort.
Every time you show up fully instead of toning it down.
Every time you bet on your vision when others don’t see it yet.

You’re not behind.
You’re breaking cycles.

This industry is changing because of Black founders who refused to shrink, soften, or make themselves easier to digest.

Your voice isn’t a risk.
Your culture isn’t a trend.
Your presence is the future.

Black History Month isn’t just about where we’ve been.
It’s about what we’re building right now.

Black History Month isn’t just about celebrating culture.
It’s about understanding how to show up for it.

For wedding vendors, inclusion goes beyond featuring diverse couples in your portfolio.

Here are a few ways to actually be culturally inclusive:

• build timelines that allow for cultural ceremonies and longer celebrations
• work with melanated skin tones and textured hair confidently (or refer out)
• understand that food, music, and guest experience are cultural priorities
• avoid “one size fits all” wedding standards
• ask couples what traditions matter most to them instead of assuming

True inclusion isn’t about optics.
It’s about effort, flexibility, and respect.

And when vendors get it right, couples feel safe celebrating fully.

BHM Day 6 (late but still here!)

Black wedding things that just make sense.

Hair starting the day before.
Ceremonies running an hour minimum.
An MC leading the night.
The pastor being at the reception by default.
A pre-party.
An after-party.
And a menu that never plays small.

None of this is extra.
It’s culture.

Our weddings aren’t built around rushing moments.
They’re built around community, celebration, respect, and making space for everyone to experience the day fully.

If you know, you know. 🖤

BHM Day 5

Long Black wedding receptions aren’t random.
They’re rooted in tradition.

Across West Africa and the Caribbean, celebrations were never meant to fit into a few hours. Weddings and major life events often lasted days, with drumming, dancing, storytelling, and food served in rounds. The gathering continued until the rituals were complete, not until a clock said stop.

During slavery in North America, community gatherings were rare and heavily restricted. So when people were finally able to come together, celebrations stretched late into the night. Joy wasn’t guaranteed again soon.

After emancipation, these long celebrations remained part of Black culture.

Elders used these moments to speak blessings, wisdom, and generational history into marriages well into the early morning hours. It was never just a party. It was community, legacy, and connection.

So when Black wedding receptions run long, it isn’t poor planning.
It’s culture continuing forward.

And that deserves to be honoured, not rushed.
