hello@wolferandco.com
I totally agree about putting away pintrest! After I bought my dress, I went in and deleted all the wedding dress pictures, so that I wouldn't see it and second guess myself.
thats a great idea !!!
I am wearing a navy blue dress instead of white. I never wear white, ever, and wanted to feel like myself on our big day. However, I am worried about not feeling "bridal" in color. I would love a video on how to wear a non traditional wedding dress and feel bridal plus how to style the wedding party around it.
Umm well 1 Ban your color from the guest dress code. Make your dress color the one and done. SO ONLY you wear it. 2 you can choose either a complimentary color to your gown for your girls or even put them in white! White is neutral will pop your Navy gown more honestly. But those 2 things will aid in making sure you are special on your day. Choose bridesmaids wear that compliment your dress and make your color a color only you can wear. I also would consider even not telling anyone outside the bridal party you opt out of white and make it a surprise so the 1st look of you can wow your guest. the maids come out then you wow in your dress. And then focus on styling you in the bridal fashion you like (veil, birdcage etc) you can get them in your color and honestly if you feel like you it will be bridal. No one can choose what bridal is to you except you. Congrats. and totes loving the Navy color choice :)
I LOVE navy blue ! I like a pale yellow with it for some reason. ...Good for you for not being bogged down by tradition.
Not sure if this is still relevant to you anymore, but I'm going to have a blue top with gold accents and a white skirt with gold accents. At first, I wanted to have an all-blue dress but then I looked at some different outfits and decided the differing top and bottom but congruent accent is the perfect balance for me.
I personally am not one to care about expectations of what "should" be bridal, so I didn't get anxiety from that, but if it is something you're still worried about, maybe throw in white accents or jewelry or flowers so people can't claim you wore no white at all
Fav part: When you panicked that the cam wasnt recording! Haha
My fiance and I do wear the same size in pants. Thank you, now I know the exact direction we should go with planning.
😄
Love your videos! Could you do one with the perfect day of timeline that will keep guests entertained? I have been to weddings where things seem to drag on and the party hardly ever gets started and the guests seem bored. I am really trying to avoid that from happening. Thank you!
Oh my God...I have had panic attacks about Pinterest and second guessing my whole vibe so glad it's not just me!
I want to get married in a chapel, and in the fall. For my reception, I want an outdoor, pavilion type thing. Preferably overlooking a forest or just a large cluster of trees, already changing the leaves colours.For center pieces, I want little vanilla candles, large-ish, wood rounds, and a mauve, light pink, flowers, with babies breath in small vases. ( these flowers would match the ones in my hair)The vases could be very small, oval, kind of ridged, and would kind of give you Great Gatsby vibes. On top of the wood rounds, would be a black, metal place holder, and on top of that, would be the table "name". The table would have a soft pink, linen, table cloth on top, with either black metal, or wood chairs. Kind envisioning the wedding I want?
Wow, I think that would be amazing!
That'll be $40,000 thanks 💰
@@chandlerredhead27 lol yeah reading back over my ideas a year later I'm realizing that I wasn't taking into account price. also, a mauve, woody brown, ivory, with black and gold accents color scheme with LIGHT PINK TABLE CLOTHS?!??!?!?!? absolutely not.
but may I introduce you to another idea, with the same kind of vibe because after a year I still want the same general wedding??
Same locations and time of year, and tbh same kind of colors, but this time no pink. Instead, I'd have a small, quaint reception with just my closest family and friends (I don't want people sitting around the sides unless they're old. And I'm a family person. It's also cheaper.)
The tables would be round, but only four or five tables with one longer, rectangular table for me and my new husband. Each one covered in a simple ivory lace tablecloth, the kind that I can give to my older relatives.
Each table would seat about five people, maybe a few more, all of them sitting on wood chairs. The tables have a simple but ornate look about them, with the centerpiece being a book (probably decorative for $$ sake), a tall white candle on top, the kind that's unscented and you can get at five and below. Next to it would stand a simple, gold (looking) baroque card holder. The card holder will don an elegant card, with a number written in an ornate cursive (my only concern is that it may be difficult to read). A small, travel sized shampoo bottle sized amber vase of various shapes and sizes with unique textures will sit in front of those two, forming a triangle of beauty. Within it's (most likely plastic) chamber, it will hold babies breath, lily of the valley, one blood red rose, and a sensible amount of a deep green foliage.
The plates will be a plain white, with delicate silverware placed thoughtfully next to it. (This may seem odd, but) The cups and glasses will be mixed and matched. No two people will have the same cup. I'll go around to placed that have overstock from other places and get unique cups. They will be filled with a thank you note and small gift, and another note telling the recipient that the glass goes with them. (that whole idea stemmed from the fact that I absolutely LOVE unique glassware.) Another, simple, wine glass will sit beside it.
The plates and cutlery will give the attendees the perfect idea of the delicacies about to be served. A mass order of chick-fila nuggets and fries with chick-fila's sweet tea on tap.
I hoped you liked this *slightly* overzealous description of my reception :D
Looooove this advice. So important to think about how I would throw a dinner party or any other event and make it “me”. I think it’s easy to get bogged down in wedding as a theme in itself and forget that it’s just a party where we get married. That’s helped me stay focused on what’s most us and let go of a lot of wedding trends or expectations.
I think my strategy with Pinterest is to try to get more specific about my vision, rather than more broad. Like pinning lots of florals that I like to try to figure what flowers I’m most drawn to. Or trying to figure out different ways I could style the blush gauze table runners I’ve already chosen.
What has helped me, I have two different boards. One is an inspiration board and one are the picks for the wedding
Sadie Ann I like this idea!
It's so helpful, especially as you are planning so can find ideas for what you are missing and save on the inspiration board while making sure it matches everything else. It also makes it easier just to communicate to everyone helping with set up
We are having a hobbit wedding! Prioritizing good food, great drinks and better company. Having it at a cute public park and doing first look at a nearby waterfall. Can't think of something more perfect for us. But logging into Pinterest kills me every time! lol
Hailee Tracado this is everything!!!
Oh my goodness that's my dream wedding too. lol
I’m glad I’m not alone. I’ve been saying that I want a wedding that a hobbit would want to attend! It helps me to stay grounded and think of what is really important for having a good time!
AMAZING
I’m wearing a sapphire blue wedding dress with heels for ceremony and ankle boots for reception
That seems odd to base my wedding off my closet I like a lot of things I just know don't look good on me for instance my favorite colors are blue and purple pastels but they wash me out so I don't have those in my closet. I ware a lot of red green and black but I wouldn't want those as my wedding colors. I would say my bedroom decor matches my wedding style though.
Love this!!!
We both wear a lot of neutrals, and dark shades so we are veering away from bright stuff, and really much color at all! Dark (almost black) hunter green, a dusty rose, a cinnomon rose (dark, muted almost wine color), and some accents with ivory and taupe.
I agree with the Pinterest thing! It can be overwhelming having so many cute ideas in front of you to commit to ANYTHING! I actually made a specific Pinterest board with all the things I wanted: bouquet, dress, wedding party attire, my hair, bridesmaids hair, makeup, table numbers, centerpieces.. and I deleted the 4000+ pinned "wedding inspo" board I'd been adding things to since I was like 19! Felt good! Felt like I KNEW what I wanted, and I stopped searching, and liking and pinning everything that was cute and just focused on what would fit our special day.
I would love my wedding to have a very soft and light vibe - a lot of white, elegant, vintage style with some peaches and citrus fruits. That pale aesthetic you can find quite often nowadays on Instagram. Bit Italian, like a fresh breeze 🍑
Your tips are so helpful girl pls don’t stop!
Thank you so much for mentioning a different colored dress! I've been so anxious about not wanting the white dress so that really made me feel great!
A family friend offered their venue for free so it was so easy to choose Spring and my color scheme because of the color of the venue.
Found your channel !! I love it in the middle of binge watching lol ! I was thinking what about a video of the groom, duties and his men’s protocol ? Like advice for him picking a ring good tips like getting her nails done first things men don’t really think about lol 😂
Super super useful tips, especially the "don't create another space for people to hang out" like the chill out area. Thanks a lot Jamie!
Do you have a video on questions to ask a potential wedding planner?
So proud of you cousin! I love you!!!
So true, i have a very limited budget, but i have a glam, elegant image for my wedding, which has made things very difficult
I'm really nervous that I'm not really doing this.
Venue: brick barn with wooden wall interior and large pavilion and chandelier
Dress: understated, symmetrical lace bodice, with a beautiful, crenate and laced train
Veil: simple with a ribbon edge
Signs: gold frames
Centerpieces: lanterns and candles
Entertainment: lawn games and country western dance instructor
I opted not to wear a white dress on my wedding day. I almost never wear white and I am not a traditional person. So I went with a pretty gala dress that I absolutely adore. My wedding is still more than 1,5 year away, but the dress was one of the things that I wanted to get asap.
I am glad I did, because I now have a dress that makes me feel awesome.
My fiance and I decided on a color theme; black, silver and light blue/aqua. We are planning some things that we really want in it. I want some butterfly and bird decor and he really wants skulls in the decoration. But we are good at coming to compromises or actually finding things we both like. It is our day and that is how we are treating it. I like to keep myself occupied with more of the tiny details, and he likes to see the bigger picture with the bigger stuff. We really complement each other in that regard.
The groom and I are both hard rock junkies. Part of me wants something that reflects our wild style, and part of me wants something traditional and elegant that my family will like and feel comfortable in. I know if we hired a DJ it would just be the MIL and me dancing till our feet fall off, and the rest of the family would probably get bored because they don't dance, but she and I would be having the time of our lives. I'm at a loss of what to do! I'm looking for a happy medium and I want my guy to have an amazing time too!
Is there such a thing as to much color in a wedding especially when most of your elements involves flowers lots and lots of flowers
My mother and father are very insistent that I wear a white bridal dress since "it's traditional for the bride to wear white for their first wedding" and and I want to wear a black, or red jumpsuit and detachable skirt that is either white or pink. How do I get them to back off when I am paying for what I wear but they are contributing to the wedding?
For context, our wedding ceremony and reception are at a church with fall decorations and lots of lawn games.
My sister dad surprised his family at his wedding they all wanted him in a james bond suit and he and my ma wanted white. . .He just chose what he liked and basically surprised them. Maybe that could work? Like take them shopping but you can just choose on your own?
I SO wish I have listened to this 5 months ago! Helpful advice
New subscriber here! I'm not currently engaged but hope to be soon, and your videos are super helpful as I dream about my wedding. One question that's been bugging me for a while now: are center pieces really that big of a deal? I have been dreaming about my wedding since I was a young girl and I love thinking about all the different aspects of it, but I just cannot care less about center pieces. They're the one thing about wedding planning that I am so indifferent towards. Will my guests think my wedding is cheap or unfinished if I have simple, easy to setup and take down centerpieces? Like a small mirror on the table with a few candles on it, and maybe a garland, and that's it. Thoughts?
I know this is directed at Jamie, but honestly if it's something you don't care about, i don't think anyone else will think any less of it. Your centerpiece idea sounds beautiful anyways, so i don't think you have anything to worry on
I was getting quite caught up on how I would decorate the table and I couldn’t remember how it was done at other weddings - I was trying to imagine it all together (as opposed to looking just at the centre piece online).
Then I realised I couldn’t remember - and it’s likely no one else will either... 🤣
What are some good themes/color schemes for a hotel ballroom wedding in the fall! I’m stuck!! I would LOVE your input!
I'm struggling with this right now! Did you get any good ideas?
I have a question somewhat related to this video how do you determine your needs and wants ? For example venue vs photo booth etc etc
questions Im planning my wedding in Sylmar, CA the last weekend in September but I have no idea what color to choose. The reason is I have a feeling its going to be blazing hot during that time yet its "fall". Any tips on which way i should lean more "fall" or summer-ish because its still hot. by the way Im so happy Ive found your channel its like I have my own lil mentor! hahaha
Although this is part of the wedding style, it's a bit off topic. How do I know what colors to use for flowers? The wedding colors are mint green, grey, and white and its June 12th.
You probably have already had your wedding day by now, but with those colors you could choose any flowers, literally anything! Upto you to decide if you want to go with btights or muted or even all white & black. What'd you go with?
I love your videos they are a big help. I was going to see what time of year you thought a realtree ap outdoor small wedding would fit? I want it to be realtree themed and I'll be wearing a realtree dress and cowboy boots.
Love your videos
I guess we are technical, colorful, down to earth, super frugal folk with plenty of holes in the facade, so to speak. :)
How do you not stress when planning a wedding by yourself and we are paying for the wedding ourself?
We’re having a gothic Harley Quinn and Joker theme. He’s a major goth and trying to find a fun way to execute in a way that’s still tasteful is exhausting 😰
Me too, I'd love to see pics
When are you getting married?
My fiancé is wearing his army suit which is the color of black, I don’t want him to wear it but it’s his day too.
I still have no idea what my and my fiancee 's wedding style would be. We're both geeky and awkward.
Best thing I’ve ever heard is fake wedding cake lol only the bottom tiers are real that is awesome save money and still have a gorgeous cake
Such a great tip, and can save so much money!
I don't like Pinterest. It is way too overwhelming!
Is a wedding on a Thursday a bad idea?
Jamie Wolfer thanks m’dear, love your videos. They’re helping me loads.
Speaking of which, what about a Tuesday wedding? Haha I love the date and it happens to fall on a Tuesday next year! It’s my anniversary with my boyfriend, and it also happens to be my parents’ AND grandparents’ wedding anniversaries! I want to keep the tradition going 🤗
@@crmb2021 oh, that's cute! I hope many people can come if you decide to take the date
I love watching your videos!! But when I watch these and hear you say "He" for fiance, it turns me off a bit because not all couples are heterosexual couples! Just a reminder, us same sex couples also love wedding planning videos! :)
She does a better job of being inclusive in her later videos! I totally feel where you're coming from so i really appreciated when she started including a variety of pronouns and stuff :)
