Hey queens, welcome to the Wedding Hive Podcast, the podcast where we give you the tips, tricks, tea, and all the buzz in the wedding world. I'm Kelsey, and today we are gonna do a really quick daily buzz and talk about dun dun dun the pressures of Pinterest. So raise your hand if you've ever penned$10,000 worth of floral arch florals while sitting in sweatpants eating cereal. It's easy to get overwhelmed and compare your wedding to the highlight reels online. But I just want you to know your wedding should reflect your love, not just what's trending. So let's get straight into it. Pinterest and Instagram are highlights. They are not reality. I hate to tell you, but styled shoots and luxury weddings set such an unrealistic expectation. Most of those dreamy setups cost crazy, crazy money or are staged per for professionals who are trying to build their marketing. When you are creating your vision, your mood board, I want you to think about the core three. Create a core three vision list. I suggest choosing three things that truly matter most to you as a couple: good food, live band, handwritten vows. It can be anything that matters to you. What are your top three? These become your anchor whenever the pressure or comparison creeps in. Next thing I would say is if you are having a trend overload, hit that unfollow button. It is okay to mute or unfollow accounts that are stressing you out. Give yourself permission to step back from the inspiration overload. Social media, it can be very toxic. I have talked about it many times. It is okay to take a break from it. And so if you need to unfollow or step away, mute somebody, or that's okay. I give you permission to do so. Next thing I would tell you is you do not have to explain your choices. Whether you're eloping, having a taco truck, or skipping the bouquet toss. This is your reminder that you should feel this day should feel right to you and your partner, not anybody else. This is your wedding. So the best weddings aren't the most expensive or the most penned. They're the most authentic. It is about you and your partner, your love story, two hearts coming together for one future. You don't need a magazine spread. You need a day that feels like home with your favorite people. So that's all I have for you today.
