It is not set in gold. The best advice we can give you is to let your professional guide you when it comes to what information they will need from you. And if you're still not sure,… Continue

a helping hand

Given time, and some hindsight, the most haenous bridezilla can become a calm rational being and reflect on her wedding day with some… Continue

Weddings are like cooking – having wonderful ingredients doesn’t mean you’ll have a great meal

For some reason I think its common knowledge… I mean haven’t we all heard from someone, stories at some point of things that didn’t go right at a wedding. They happen at every single wedding no matter who is in charge.

I have an idea… Lets invest in a great photographer to capture the moments and the details, lets hire a floral designer to make everything… Continue

Once I had my colors and location selected, I started thinking about décor for the ceremony and reception. Chris and I have decided that we want a pretty short ceremony, 20 to 30 minutes at most. With that said, I didn’t want to spend a ton of our budget on decorations for the ceremony, so I decided to come up with something that I could do on my own. Enter Weddingbee, a wedding blog where there is a ton of inspiration and DIY ideas. A lot of the girls were using tissue paper pompoms, which I… Continue
