A FEW PAGES, JUST AS THEY ARE

The First Picture in Your Head

Before collecting more ideas, describe the wedding you picture when nobody else is making suggestions. You may see a whole room or only a moment: entering together, sitting at a long table, hearing a familiar song. Write the picture without checking whether it is fashionable or complete. A fragment can reveal a preference that a finished mood board would hide.
A question to make your own

About this book.
