Don't Remodel For the Sake of a Wedding

One of the things that prevents couples from getting married at home is the automatic reaction that you cannot possibly have people into your house when it "looks like that."

OK--why not?

If you are having a home wedding you are probably only inviting the most essential of all your friends and family. Will your mother think any less of you because you didn't redo the kitchen? Will your best friend feel like you didn't care enough if you don't replace all the bathroom fixtures? Will you love your fiancee' any less if the door knob isn't brand new?

Of course not.

In general, unless your home is really in need of major repairs, a coat of paint, a nice waxing of the floors and a good cleaning is all you need to get a house ready for a wedding. The flowers, decorations, chairs and overall feeling of joy for you as a couple will be more than enough to compensate for anything your home might lack. If it is good enough for you to share your life in, it is good enough for your loved ones to watch you enter that life in.

So have a beautiful at home wedding in your home as it is and save your money for more important things--like the honeymoon ;)

Until tomorrow~Many Blessings
