The success of an event does not depend on the details

Let’s talk a little about a sentence that I have the opportunity to read on almost all wedding sites and which I feel forced to contradict. Below I explain and why.

Certainly the intention of those who use this message in their communication is to underline the necessity of their services in the equation of a successful event. It would mean, in fact, that when you organize your wedding, make sure you have a dignified place, good food and music to your taste, in case you forget or neglect the details (whatever they are). Success is, in this case, the extent to which you and your guests have abandoned that feeling Oh from marriage.

To a very small extent, I can agree with a message like this. Yes, details are important too. I know how to make the «difference» between an ok event and a mega-super-wow. And for some people they may mean more than for others.

We live in a very visual period and we see details everywhere. The wedding depends a lot on what it will be like, how long it will be instagrammed AND unstable.

Whatever ideas we have, a search on Pinterest opens up all the options, for all the details in the world. And with the «details» in your mouth, from morning to night, it is quite easy to go all the way and create scenarios that have nothing to do with your own events and your own success.

We have no way to discuss successful events Only with the details. I don’t think all the details are important (Excuse me!). Under no circumstances can details cover up uninspired decisions if there is no detail. Here I believe we are sharing the message, me and a large part of the suppliers, creatives and entrepreneurs in the wedding sector.

After all, what is the opposite of «detail»?

A tiring and suffocating wave has been created for future marriages, who are increasingly «educated» to think about their marriage almost visually.

I work about 10-12 months with each couple, for each wedding. I spend a lot of time in my work to guide them so that they don’t fool themselves with the details. To focus, and again, on things important.

So I must say that, on the contrary, the success of an event lies precisely in this ENTIRE HEY! This way all the details and non-details are linked and clicked with the invitations. Overall, things went smoothly. To the extent that, overall, you are happy that you chose to celebrate the wedding on X day, with Y guests.

Dear florists, illustrative artists, image makers, decorators and, in general, detail generators: I also appreciate your talent, your passion and your business. Make, each of you, «mine» weddings and others that are much, much more beautiful!

But weddings, in reality, are much less about the details and more about the big things. Speaking of planning sound and a flow of natural events. In most cases, the success of a wedding is ensured by the location chosen for that wedding. Or from the guest list drawn up with great care. And very often, thanks to decisions made in time and not ruined later.

Whenever, regardless of the context, concept, theme, traditions or beliefs, weddings are meetings between people. Not the best successful The weddings that I have had the opportunity to organize were, in fact, meetings between beautiful, affectionate and compatible people.

Details are not the first thing that should concern you when organizing your wedding. They come naturally, at least in the organization and planning system I use. Only after the essential and important things have been clarified. And if you still have the emotional, mental, financial availability to take care of it!
