What is the difference between being a minimalist and being cheap in wedding planning? Minimalism is more than a style, it is a way of making efficient use of your resources.

Show Notes

Budgets are a popular and important topic in wedding planning but too often I see them become the deciding factor for the majority of wedding decisions. This leads to couples choosing vendors that really aren't a great fit for them and frustration when "cheap" choices don't deliver. Many times a so called cheap choice will prove to be more expensive when they don't come through and need to be replaced.

Minimalism in wedding planning is both a style as well as being very intentional about every dollar that you spend. You will ensure that the vendors and the design decisions that you make are what you really want instead of just looking at the dollar amount that you're spending. When you choose minimalism, you remove the obligation to spend on elements of a typical wedding day that aren't important to you. For example, you may choose to eliminate the wedding cake if you really aren't into cake. Minimalism emphasizes the individual quality of your choices. Being "cheap" means that you're spreading your money thin instead of giving it focus on your priorities.

As a style, minimalism focuses on clean lines and uncluttered spaces. For more inspiration go here.

What is Radiant Weddings?

To me, a wedding is not only a beautiful event that allows me to exercise every organizational trick that I possess. It is the beginning of a union where new families are formed and a one-of-a-kind love is celebrated.

As a recent bride, I got to experience being on the “other side.” My experience as a wedding planner and my husband, Joe’s, experience as a wedding photographer allowed us to have a unique perspective for our own wedding. Now, together, Joe and I want to share what we know and what we've learned with engaged couples who need to know how create their perfect wedding day. My goal is to give every couple the means to have as few “things I’d change if I were to do it over” moments.
