So, here’s the thing: I’ve been told I’m “too nice.”
Yep, in an industry built on love and magic, apparently being too nice can backfire.
Sure, I want to help couples create the wedding of their dreams, but there’s a fine line between being helpful and becoming a “yes” machine.
In a world of ever-changing wedding trends, unpredictable algorithms, and a sprinkle of AI, I’ve learned one thing: showing up as yourself is what makes the magic happen.
Authenticity is the real secret sauce.
Couples don’t just want pretty designs - they want to connect with the person behind the brand.
So, I’ve started sharing more of me — my story, my process, even my creative struggles.
And guess what? It’s working!
Learning to say “No” without losing the magic.
But here’s the tricky part: my niceness.
It means I’ve said “yes” when I really should’ve said “no.”
Late nights perfecting designs?
Yep.
Last-minute changes?
Guilty.
But I’ve realised that if I’m running on empty, I can’t be my best for my couples.
A burned-out designer doesn’t exactly scream “wedding magic,” right?
It’s like saying yes to one more dessert at the reception.
Fun in the moment, but suddenly, you’re in a sugar coma, wondering how you got there.
Lesson learned!
Finding the balance.
I’m still figuring it out, but I’m learning to say no when it’s needed and focus on what really matters: creating designs that reflect each couple’s unique love story.
So, to anyone feeling “too nice” in the wedding industry: It’s okay to say no sometimes.
You don’t need to agree to everything to deliver something personal and meaningful.
When you focus on what you do best, you create a stronger connection with your couples - and keep yourself sane in the process.
And hey, if you still think I’m too nice, that’s okay too.
Just don’t ask me to bake a wedding cake. I’m still working on that “no”!
