Ok, I know that I can't be the only one who feels this way! Do you ever look at other brides' inspiration or ideas and think, "holy crap! That is EXACTLY what I was going for!?!?"
I am have experienced that sinking feeling in my stomach during my planning thus far. I cringe because I don't want to be viewed as a copycat!!!!
Realistically, I know that the guests at my wedding will have absolutely no idea if my choices are very similar to that of someone they don't even know...but it just gets my goat at times! It makes no sense...there is no way that my guests are scouring wedding blogs on a daily basis; they aren't going to know that my idea is similar to the one that "so and so" did!
I feel like I am so irrational...but how is it that there is someone else out there that is picking the same music, the same ceremonies, the same guest book ideas, etc. etc. etc.! I have always been someone who has fresh perspectives on things...someone who has cute ideas and inspirations. Apparently, I have a twin (or twins) out there. Frustration...galore!
Has anyone else out there experienced this feeling? What did you do to calm your frustration?
I know what you mean! Sometimes I feel silly for blogging about stuff because I'm sure has already seen someone else do it. But, at the same time, I'm sure there are ideas/projects you've come up with that are being used as inspiration for someone else so it all works out!
ReplyDeleteYou know I hear ya girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteThat's the only way you'll get inspiration though. Don't feel bad about it.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, but I'm sure your guests--having only attended a few weddings a year--will have no idea! And, everyone's wedding is different some way...at the very least the bride and groom is different! ;)
