What No One Tells You About Planning a Wedding

(But We Will—Because We’re Not Into Gatekeeping)

So, you’re engaged. You’ve got the ring, the Pinterest board, and a vague sense that you’re meant to feel blissfully excited while planning the biggest party of your life. The reality: You are overwhelmed and confused!

Everyone suddenly has an opinion, your inbox becomes a black hole of quotes and “just checking in” emails, and somehow you’re being asked to choose between 14 napkin shades. Oh, and why is a “bridal emergency kit” even a thing? (If you haven’t heard of it, this magical little pouch is basically your wedding day survival kit. Think: safety pins, painkillers, mints, bobby pins, tissues and maybe a mini sewing kit—all the things you hope you don’t need but will be so glad you have on hand if disaster strikes.- We have the cutest little bag for you too!)

We’re The Hitch House—and we’re here to make this whole thing easier (and 100% more stylish).

First things first: Wedding planning isn’t one-size-fits-all.

You don’t have to do everything tradition tells you to.
Don’t want a garter toss? Ditch it.
Think matching sashes feel a bit “meh”? Try a heart scarf or chic accessory set instead.
Flasks for groomsmen? Go with a reusable horn-style coffee mug they'll actually use again.

Want your dog to walk you down the aisle?

This is your day. You get to decide how it feels.

😬 Real Talk: What No One Tells You

Let’s break down a few things couples wish they’d known earlier:

1. You don’t need 17 different vendors.

You need the right ones. Start with a few essentials that align with your vibe—and don’t be afraid to ask them for recommendations (they usually know who not to work with).

2. Pinterest isn’t a plan.

It’s inspiration. But real weddings come with budgets, logistics, and availability. Be kind to yourself when the mood board doesn’t quite match the final look.

3. You’re allowed to have fun.

You can absolutely throw a classy wedding and still have bubble guns, heart-shaped sunglasses, and a cheeky bar sign that says “Till Death (Or Open Bar) Do Us Part.”

4. Not everyone will get it.

You’ll have people side-eyeing your choices. That’s okay. You’re not marrying them.

😮💨 The Little Things That Feel Huge (But Won’t Matter Later)

It’s wild how much headspace you can give to tiny details—until the day comes and you realise, they didn’t really matter. Here's what couples often stress about that didn't define the day:

The flowers weren’t on the swing for photos. Annoying? Yes. Wedding ruined? Not even close.

One table didn’t get their grazing platter on time. You’ll probably hear about it before you notice it—and then it’s over.

The candles weren’t lit. The vibe was still there.

A song cue was missed. You were still in love, still glowing, still married.

It’s okay to care. But it’s also okay to let go of the tiny imperfections that no one else will remember.
