Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged, proof that there is still some good news in the world. Unsurprisingly, we have some thoughts on how best to approach planning everyone’s favorite couple’s wedding.

When it comes to planning a wedding for high-profile individuals, it’s easy for assumptions to creep in. But here at Emily Berg Weddings & Events, we believe every couple – household name or not – deserves a day that is undeniably, beautifully them.

Aside from hosting the wedding anywhere other than the Midwest, here’s what I would advise the couple’s wedding planner should avoid, and what it means for your wedding:

1. Assuming a High-Publicity, Celebrity Spectacle: It would be easy to assume Travis and Taylor would want a massive, public event, given their fame. But a great wedding planner knows that even celebrities might desire an intimate, private celebration. Your wedding should be about what you want, not what everyone else expects. Do you dream of a grand affair or a cozy gathering? Your planner’s job is to make your dream a reality.
   
   
2. Confusing Personal Brand with Personal Wedding Desires: Travis and Taylor have huge, distinct personal brands. But their public personas might be completely different from their private desires for a wedding day. A planner shouldn’t assume their wedding needs to be a branded event. The same goes for you! Your wedding should be a beautiful expression of your unique love story, not an extension of your professional or social media presence. Bring your full, quirky self and ideas to the table, and stand confidently in them.
   
   
3. Prioritizing Trends Over Personal Meaning: Current wedding trends come and go. While they can be fun, they shouldn’t dictate your day. A planner for Travis and Taylor shouldn’t push them into trendy colors or themes if it doesn’t resonate with them. Your wedding should incorporate elements that evoke a sense of comfort and joy. Forget what you “should” do. What truly makes your heart sing?
   
   
4. Treating the Wedding as a Career Stepping Stone: Any wedding, especially a high-profile one, could be seen as a planner’s big break. But the focus should always be on the couple and their experience. Your wedding is a personal, important life moment, not a portfolio builder for your vendors. Your planner should be dedicated to lifting all the stress off your shoulders so you can show up, hug your people, and enjoy the best party of your life!
   

Your wedding day is a reflection of your unique love story. Don’t be afraid to break free from tradition and infuse every detail with your personalities. As your wedding planner, my goal is to help you craft a celebration that is undeniably, beautifully you – no matter who you are. Ready to get started? Let’s go.
