Hi all!
My fiance and I just booked our venue - a beautiful small mansion. We mainly chose it for the grounds and the fact that it's smack-dab in the middle of the town, so our guests can walk from their hotels and we don't have to worry about anyone driving after the party. The reception will be in the "ballroom", and while it's beautiful, it's also very traditional whereas my fiance and I are very not.
We want to make sure that the wedding is fun, and not TOO formal while enjoying the beautiful space. I'm worried that we'll try to conform our wedding to fit the venue, and not us. I was thinking of having a more fun menu and using decor make it our own. Has anyone else felt this?
