Now, that priority is evolving. Couples want events that showcase their actual personalities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;ds-markdown-paragraph&quot; &gt;This means:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;ds-markdown-paragraph&quot; &gt;Spaces with personal meaning&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;ds-markdown-paragraph&quot; &gt;Personalized ceremony elements&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;ds-markdown-paragraph&quot; &gt;Food that tells a story&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;ds-markdown-paragraph&quot; &gt;Real laughter instead of stiff smiles&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;ds-markdown-paragraph&quot; &gt;Kollysphere has observed a steep fall in demand for “Pinterest-perfect” setups.
