Hey there, readers! I'm Alyssa Chitwood, owner & planner of The Calm Bride, and I'm thrilled to kick off this exciting blog journey with you. I’ve never been a blogger, but I have always been a writer, so why not also give this a shot :)
About Me:
I have always enjoyed hosting and entertaining, and planning my own wedding was the biggest test of that. I wanted to share that joy with other couples and help bring a strategic and individualized perspective to wedding planning—not only being your wedding guide but also your friend throughout the process.
A Word from a 2023 Bride:
Why "Hello from a 2023 Bride"? Well, because I recently donned the title of bride myself! Being engaged is all fun and games until someone starts asking you about your wedding. For us, we had a 22-month engagement and booked our venue 18 months out from the wedding day. My planning journey was filled with incredible joy, collaboration with exceptionally talented people, a whole lot of opinions (asked for, and not), and a ton of ups and downs that culminated in the most magical and joyous weekend of my life. It was exactly what my husband and I wanted, and after the fact, all the noise and outside opinions, disagreements, and questions were eliminated because everyone saw we did what made us truly happy—which is all that matters.
What to Expect:
In this blog, you can look forward to a blend of wedding planning tips, industry insights, local spotlights, first hand stories from brides, and everything in between. It's not just about weddings; it’s about connecting with my own couples and couples everywhere to share insight into the planning process and ensure they are making their journey and wedding day uniquely theirs.
Why The Calm Blog:
The Calm Bride offers a wedding planning experience that adapts to couples, no matter where you are in the planning process. I wanted to not only work with my couples, but connect with the wedding community and share insights into the industry, and the process, so they too can be the calmest people in the room on wedding day.
Connecting:
This blog is intended to bring all people interested in weddings together—a space where we can share, learn, and celebrate the beautiful chaos of weddings. Please share questions, comments, concerns, or inquiries with me here on the blog or on my social media - @thecalmbridejax. Here's to the start of something wonderful – welcome to The Calm Blog community!
