Hi Lauren,

So sweet of you to follow my blog!

I’m actually currently not doing event/floral design at the moment since my full time job has been very busy! Perhaps someday in the future.

Cheers!
Abby

It says you are working on being an event and floral designer…is this still the case? Would you work with bride to be’s on their weddings?

Thanks,
Lauren

PS- you have a wonderful blog :)

Right on! I agree with your independence from tradition.

I hope my day goes the same way!

@Joyce: Your first dance vision sounds lovely. I’m sure everyone will appreciate the sentiment behind it.

If you don’t want to go to the trouble of buying a wedding cake but like the look of having one, feel free to check out my post on my personal blog of making a fake one! http://peachesbyplums.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/wedding-cake-diy-style/

@Stephanie: Greetings from Boston! Thank you for stopping by!

@Hana: You’re welcome! I had those same exact thoughts and was so worried that I would be the only person in the world that wouldn’t have a bridal party. When people ask me about who my maid of honor is and I tell them that there will be no maid of honor, sometimes their reactions can be quite shocking. It’s nice to know that at least 2 people in this world feel the same way!

I’d like to thank you Abby for Will Not #1. I am not having a wedding party either – at this point in my life, and in this geographical location, I don’t have very many friends. And it has always made me feel bad to read about other weddings with bridesmaids, etc… I always felt sad for not having close enough friends (I don’t have siblings either) to ask to be my bridesmaids.

This is the first blog post I’ve seen that was so honest about this point. THANK YOU!

Greetings from Hong Kong. This is great sharing and makes me feel I am not alone having similar mindset.

This is a great idea! Our wedding do’s and don’ts are all in my head at the moment. I should really put them on paper.

One of the traditions that we’ve chosen to keep is the first dance because I think it’ll be lovely to have the parents come up after us to dance too. We’ve chosen not to have a wedding cake to cut though just because we couldn’t see ourselves doing that.

I think it’s awesome these days that couples can choose to have or not to have certain traditions. It means that you can personalise your wedding and make the day your own.

@Melissa: Exactly! Sometimes people forget what it means to have a wedding.

@Melissa: Congratulations on your recent marriage!! I’m sure your guests were able to feel the amount of love and consideration you put into your wedding. It is those moments that people will never forget.

@Brittany: I totally agree. If those traditions mean something to you, then of course include them but not because you think you have to.
