- I definitely see both sides of this. I DO think that dealits are lovely, and if part of a brides personality and vision are so important. What saddens me the most is that it feels’ like if it’s not new and amazing, it’s not worth being published or featured. I just sent out a wedding to a few blogs that is gushing with dealits that the bride spent months trying to solidify. She had such a hard time combining elements, that when she finally settled on her theme/dealits it was a huge accomplishment. She asked me to submit it to a few blogs, and I was more than happy to help. It was rejected by one blog because the dealits have been seen before, and we are really looking for something original.’ That sort of response makes me slightly agitated because it feels like blogs are trying to compete with who can be the best, think of the next big thing, and who can execute it in the most creative and un-thought of way ever!!! It didn’t matter that there was a photo of the bride in her blusher veil, smiling brilliantly behind the tears as she’s meeting her groom for the first time, or that the entire crowd sang a hymn as she entered and there wasn’t a dry eye to be found, or that she wore her grandmothers wedding dress from the 1950 s when she was married in France to honor her OR that the grooms ring was his grandfathers, who recently passed. None of that mattered. The feelings behind this amazing event were set aside because it wasn’t a new, brilliant idea.
