[Editor’s note: Okay, okay, I know I’m straying from the “5 Things To Know About” series, but I just had to get this post out there first before talking about the individual details…] Details details. If you haven’t noticed, it’s what I’m ALL about. It’s what I am 150% passionate about. I could talk your […]

SURPRISE! I have Episode 5 of ELD TV for you all today! (Truth: I was supposed to post it Thursday but completely forgot that it was ready!) So I figured it would be okay to start the week off with a TV episode. :) A TV episode all about getting your makeup done to be […]
Read MoreSometimes I look back on my own wedding planning experience and think, “Geez, why on Earthy did I do that?” or “What was I thinking?” It’s really just because I had no clue. I had never planned a wedding before, nor did I have any close friends who had already gotten married for me to […]
Read MoreSo you want a great wedding, right? Just about everyone wants their wedding to be “great” (or good or nice or awesome). But what defines “great”? It’s different for everyone. Some brides and grooms may want amazing food, some want their guests to dance the night away. Some want it to feel like a nightclub […]
Read MoreAh, one of the biggest things talked about- shoes. And not just ANY shoes, your wedding day shoes. Wedding day shoes are a big deal now. It’s almost old-fashioned to go with white shoes that would normally be dubbed as “wedding shoes”. I say go for whatever you want. There are no rules for choosing […]
Read MoreToday’s {Thursday Tips} is meant to be ALL about you and your fiance! Let’s be honest here.

Not everyone is the perfect work-full-time-and-plan-a-wedding-and-be-a-devoted-fiance-all-at-the-same-time. I’ll admit, I had a few moments […]
Read MoreToday’s Thursday Tips is of course coming from my own experience as a bride AND now as a vendor (as all posts on ELD do). In short, when it comes to your wedding, don’t settle. What do I mean by settling? Sacrificing the style of wedding you want because your mom wants you to get […]
Read MoreWhen Kristen of Kristen Weaver Photography sent me this “Wedding Day Style” photo shoot, I knew I loved it. At first, I had no idea how I would post it, but then it dawned on me- all of these are different wedding day “looks”, and they all reflected totally different styles! So today’s {Thursday […]
Read MoreA few {Thursday Tips} ago I wrote about the differences between a venue coordinator and a wedding coordinator. Today I thought I would touch on the differences between having a wedding planner and having a day-of coordinator. Ā The professional who handles both of these instances (full planning and day-of coordination) is definitely a wedding […]
Read MoreThis week, I had a realization. It’s always been something that I’ve known, but I never really thought about it… the extent of DIY. By extent I mean: how much work actually goes into DIY, how much money goes into it, and how much “womanpower” (Get it? Instead of manpower- because the majority of the […]
