Canadian couple Tyler and Lynea share how keeping their guest list small allowed for them to realx and enjoy their special day.
First off, congrats! What is your most memorable moment from the wedding?
A helicopter picking us up at our wedding venue and whisking us away to a mountain top with our best man and maid of honor. The weather was calm, clear and beautiful and the scenery was breathtaking. It was an experience we will never forget!
What were the colors of your wedding?
White. Navy. Green. Silver. Glass. Wood.
What do you think worked really well at your wedding that you would recommend every couple to do?
Keeping our guest list to a minimum. Our entire wedding day was relaxed and casual and didn’t fly by like we were told it would.
Would you have done anything differently—splurge on a pricier dress, nix the favors, go for that extra passed appetizer?
Took the time to really enjoy our meal! Ask for leftovers to enjoy the next day if your caterer allows it.
What tips do you have for other Joy couples still in the midst of wedding planning?
Start early! There is no harm pre-planning way in advance. When it comes to our wedding weekend, you’ll be so happy that you ironed all the details out beforehand.
What were your favorite features of Joy?
How simple it was to create and personalize!
At Joy we believe that although a wedding lasts one day, joy lasts forever. What does that mean to you and your partner?
Our joy started the day we met back in 2011 and continues to grow as we share new experiences and hardships along our journey together.
