In true "me" fashion I have been about a month behind on blogging, but that doesn't mean I haven't been SO excited to share the magic that was Rebecca and Doug's wedding day with the world. It seems like October was just yesterday and I can't believe 3 months have passed since I brought their beautiful wedding dreams to life. Rebecca and I have known each other since high school. We were in choir together but Rebecca (and her ridiculously stellar voice) went on to use signi

Gifting a small something to the invited loved ones on your special day is a no brainer. Actually, it’s become an expected tradition. Why not, right? These folks made an effort to be there, supporting you every step of the way. I’d say that’s more than enough to earn them a thank you gift!

After vowing to make her special day more incredible than she could imagine, she and I p

The short answer: no, you don't NEED a wedding planner. You NEED food, water, and air. But you will survive without a wedding planner. Should you have a wedding planner? That's a totally different question. Every bride asks herself the question "do I need a wedding planner?" at one point or another. Maybe you just got engaged and realize you don't even know where to begin; or maybe you are three months out and are up to your eye balls in invitations, seating charts, and

Welcome brides and grooms! Thanks for stopping by! To kick off the wedding blog fun, I thought it would be a good idea to throw it back to the blog I kept throughout my own wedding planning process. Now, you may think "is that something I should be doing?"....not at all. Because I am a wedding-obsessed person, I found it exciting to share tips and ideas with other brides while engaged. Take a look and let me know what you think! I have been married for six months, so so
