APRIL-- "Be our AND Guest"
It's not easy, you don't want to do it...but you have to decide - who do you want at your wedding?The "main" guest list can be easy or hard...it really depends on how you do it, but it's the gray area of who gets to bring a guest that can give you the biggest headache of all. When we sat down to finalize the guest list and to figure out who we thought should get a guest we stuck to a few main rules ...read more

MARCH-- "The Drop-out"
Whether or not it has happened to you or you had to do it yourself, having a BM or GM drop out of your bridal party can never be a pleasant experience. Done properly or in enough time to replace them (or not) it can never be easy to swallow when you hear it or if you have had to do it...you probably had some tums beforehand. First things first, whenever someone asks you to be in their wedding they are honoring you in saying that ...read more

FEBRUARY-- "The Bridal Party-Bridesmaids"
At some point after the initial "Oh my God, we're engaged!" you will have to seriously start to consider who you would like to be apart of your bridal party, because they will be the people for whom you will have to count on the most...When I started thinking about it, I thought it was best to break it down and put into an excel sheet (FYI - I use excel...A LOT) everyone who I thought ...read more

JANUARY-- The Beginning
You wake up the day after your wedding and how do you feel? Relieved? Sad?
Excited? Of all the emotions you will be feeling - what I've realized is that
you do NOT want to feel regret. Sure, there are somethings that will have been
beyond your control or on the scale of things, not that bad; but after talking
to brides - and have experienced the "day of" myself...I've narrowed
it down to the top 5 things that shouldn't be something you regret when you
look back at your wedding...read more
It always seemed second nature to me to provide the food and drinks for guests at a big affair - like a wedding - because it’s how I was raised and what I have become accustomed to. But after much research - and poll taking, it seems everyone has an opinion from top shelf open bar to low-level cash bar...everyone has something to say...read more
When I sought out to write this article I was hoping to find more people who found electronic thank you’s acceptable - in this day and age where e-communication rules, I have discovered that people still prefer the older, more traditional way of saying “thank you.” I thought more people would be open to this; however, I realized after much polling and research that this current generation and group of people still want to receive that hand-written thank you that comes via post. Personally, I am completely submerged in the online communications life...read more
It seems as though in the hustle and bustle of planning a wedding, and budgeting and figuring out a price per head...we sometimes overlook or not give enough thought to the part that pulls the whole wedding together... The Ceremony. If one person doesn’t show up, or something else goes wrong (like in Friends, when Ross says “I Ross, take you, Rachel...I mean Emily!”) - the whole rest of the wedding won’t be happening. So while we fuss and finagle over table covers and entree choices, I think we all need to...read more
As a person who prides themselves on being open and honest...I find it hard to believe how much emotion I really bottled in during the planning of our wedding. I’ve learned it’s truly different set of rules when it comes to family, and dealing with their antics - as opposed to friends. When you argue with someone in your family, it’s hard to really lash out and be honest all with the excuse “they’re family...they’re around for life” when really you’d like to curse them out. Couples. I am here to tell you... READ MORE
