Discover the Birthday Theory

I can’t take full credit for this one. One afternoon, while we were hanging out in the garden, my husband Emile said: “People should treat their wedding more like it’'s just their birthday. There’d be so much less stress.” That’s where the idea for this mini academy was born!

Make The Shift

From “This is the biggest day of my life” to “It’s simply the birthday of our love.

Focus on Meaning

On your birthday, you choose what feels good to you. Not what the world expects. This is a day about you. When you do the same for your wedding, every choice feels more aligned with you.

Choose Your People

Birthdays are for the people who truly matter. If you don’t vibe with someone, would you invite them to your birthday? No. You invite the ones who light you up. Not just everyone you “should.” Your wedding deserves the same energy.

Let Go of Pressure

No one expects your birthday to be “Pinterest perfect.” People who care about you just want you to have fun! Treat your wedding the same: focus on what brings you joy, not on achieving perfection.

Spend Where It Counts

Birthdays aren’t about ticking boxes. They’re about what you love. Invest in the moments that mean the most to you, the experiences that will stay with you forever.

Create a Day That Feels Like You

Every birthday reflects your personality: whether you’re funny, wild, adventurous, or low-key. Some go clubbing, others spend the day doing a fun activity, and some just want to enjoy cake at home. Let your wedding be the ultimate reflection of who you are. Unapologetically, joyfully, fully you.

The Birthday Theory helps you:

1. Identify the celebration energy that supports you during your engagement season

2. Align your wedding planning with your authentic self

3. Separate the rules and expectations from what truly feels aligned with you

By understanding your unique birthday blueprint, you begin to see why some parts of planning feel exciting while others feel overwhelming. Now, imagine applying that same mindset to your wedding day. It would feel just like your birthday. No pressure. No expectations. No stress. Just joy, presence, and celebration.

See your wedding as a birthday for your love. Celebrate you, your relationship, your love. And every anniversary that follows is another birthday of this love.
