Whenever a bride-to-be or event planner we work with highlights how important it is to them that their guests will enjoy the party and dance, I ask them "Where's the bar?".

A pretty simple (yet easy to overlook) detail which can maximize the dance-potential of any wedding or event is to decide where the bar…

There is hardly any lifestyle I can think of that is more difficult and rewarding than the life of a military wife- especially when you’re married to an active duty soldier.

While the intention behind these statements is good, I find that if…

There are a bazillion things to worry about and expenses adding up as your wedding day approaches. Photography is probably one of the things you may wonder about.

The trends for 2013 show that more and more Brides are looking for ways to make their weddings more unique. They are becoming bold and fearless, breaking many traditions that have long been a part of weddings. One of these traditions is the table center pieces.

Wow – it has been a very long time since I have done a blog post. To start of 2013 we got to decorate for an absolutely fabulous lady – Diane. I first met Diane when I decorated and did flowers for her son and daughter in law. When she started planning her wedding she thought of me; which was a pleasant surprise.

Once we had our consultation I knew Diane was all about pink, bling, sweetheart roses and just plain glam!!!! So that is what we gave her! Set The Mood Decor provided the…

STOP! Don't sign that contract!



So you found the venue of your dreams, eh? Now you're ready to sit down, sign the contract, and start planning right? WRONG. You do not want to purchase based on emotion and I know most women do this. Heck, I do this. It's the same thing as having 8 million pairs of shoes in your closet you never wear or a bag you've never touched. It is 'just perfect' when your eyes see it but it goes unused because in the end, it just wasn't…

As a wedding photographer, I love looking at other peoples work. It inspires me to stay up to date on different styles and trends that brides are loving. There has been one that I have seen over and over again and that is the warm vintage fade look. You have seem them before. It has the vintage color feel with a slight haze on the photograph. Not only have I seen photographers use this style of editing a lot, I have seen brides comment on these pictures saying that they really love this…
