how to go from 'how i want this to feel' to 'how should this look'
hi all! I am planning my wedding but I am trying to plan it more as a party or event rather than a wedding. weddings have become so crazy, and I want to return to a more simple wedding vibe so I'm trying to think of how I would plan it if it were just a fun party with all my loved ones! we're getting married at my childhood church which is, for better or worse, an ugly megachurch lol. it is what it is and it's too big to hide so i'm trying to figure out how to make it work with what we have!
but mostly the reason for the post is that i have a very distinct sense of how i want the wedding to FEEL but no real idea of how to translate that feeling to decor or a space. is this something anyone has a knack for and would be willing to advise on??
pictures below of the ceremony space (auditorium) and reception space (first two pics - youth group area) and then screenshots of the pinterest board for the feeling i'm going for. thank you in advance for any help!
