I wore a black wedding dress—and I’d do it again, and again.
I’ve never been great at following the rules just because they exist. Even as a kid, tradition never held much weight for me unless it made sense in my mind and heart.
So when it came time to plan my wedding, I had one of those lightning bolt moments. I realized…I didn’t want to wear white. It didn’t feel like me. I was thinking of wearing something off white, champagne, a going for a print or a color.
What ended up feeling like me? A totally unexpected black, mermaid style gown. It made me feel powerful, comfortable, grounded, and fully myself.
That choice was a turning point—not just in planning a wedding, but in the way I move through this crazy world. When I don’t hesitate, do whats expected of me, or follow trends or traditions (for no apparent reason other than they exist) - I feel freakin’ GOOD.
So here’s your permission slip to skip the stuff that doesn’t resonate with you. Whether it’s ditching the bouquet toss, walking down the aisle solo, or choosing colors that actually light you up—your wedding should feel like you.
Swipe through for a peek into that moment I’ll never forget 💫
💥 Or tell me—what’s one wedding tradition you’d gladly break?
