Ever After - Weddings By Brie

09/09/2022

I was watching a movie the other day, and the man was SO UNCOMFORTABLE with a woman crying.

In fact, he tells her to stuff her emotions down, into a little box and throw away the key.

I once was told "your too emotional", so I instantly related to this character when she tried (and ultimately couldn't) stuff her feelings down.

We aren't supposed to shove them down. We aren't supposed to hide them away like dirty secrets.

But so many of us were taught to do this. No fault of our parents, they likely weren't taught any different.

But this is changing, and I am here for it!

My mission and super power is as helping women connect back to their emotions.

We GET to partner with our emotions!

We GET to express them!

We GET to heal the parts of ourselves who need love and acceptance!

How to know if you are disconnected from your emotions?

💔 You feel numb
💔 You have surface level relationships
💔 A lack of attention when you are with others
💔 You have difficulty expressing how you feel
💔 You avoid affection
💔 You avoid certain people/places because they remind you of a past trauma
💔 Not making a spouse/partner/yourself a priority

I get it.

I walked around like this for years.

I hold no judgment, only love.

And when you are ready for me, I am ready for you ❤️

There's just something about that first look

Whether you choose to do a first look or not, is a personal choice for each couple. I have seen tik toks ranging from The Bride doing a first look with the groomsman, The Groom with the Bridesmaids, The Bride and Groom, or anything in-between really. More couples are opting away with "traditional" t...

Today's Spotlight is on:

Helen Bakogiannis of HelenB Designs!

As a new bride, everything revolves around THE DRESS. For our wedding, the colour scheme was inspired by the fabric, and everything else flowed into place. I knew for my dress that I desired it to be custom made. I had used Helen B designs for a previous event, so there was no question in my mind th...

I heard on the radio that the average cost of a Canadian Wedding is between $22 and $30k!

As a new homeowner, neither my husband or I could fathom paying that much for a wedding!

Luckily I was able to do most of the decor items myself, and we got an amazing venue at an amazing price! Plus we had some added bonus', and were able to save significantly on our DJ, Bridal party gifts and my hubby's ring!

Making a budget isn't as sexy as picking your venue, dress or cake, but it is SO important to be on the same page (makes for a happier marriage - Happy Spouse, Happy House!)

Tip #1 - Use the envelope system: Every pay we would take $50 and place it in an envelope ear marked for a specific vendor.

Tip #2 - Be realistic: you don't NEED the $5k dress - my dress was custom made and cost me significantly less (no shade though if your heart is set on that dress but watch for dress sales ;) )

Tip #3 - Open communication: with your vendors. If something is out of your budget let them know. A payment arrangement may be available, or they may have someone they can refer you too who is in your budget!

I have a special gift for you to help with your budget!

Pro tip:

Your decor does NOT have to cost you an arm and a leg!

There are multiple pieces from our home, that were used for our wedding (some I bought for that purpose).

The "Happily Ever After" sign hangs over our bed.

The Leaf Twinkle lights started as decor in my office.

Our initials hang on our family wall.

And "Love" also hangs in our bedroom.

As your wedding planner, I can help you choose the decor items that will look AH-Mazing at your wedding,

AND

You can also shop my home, to rent any of the items you see here, and more!

I am so excited to be launching my business that is truly my , and for the first 3 Brides who book with me, I will be gifting 10% OFF a wedding package of their choice!!!

I also have a referral program that I am working on as well ;)
