Just because you like it, that doesn’t mean it’s right for your wedding. This was a tough lesson that I had to learn when I was planning my wedding. Mostly because everything that I found that I liked was either 1) way too expensive or 2) completely not right for the style of my wedding! […]
Read MoreDIY- “do it yourself” in case you didn’t know (hey some people aren’t good with acronyms). The question is, “To DIY or not to DIY?” Most of you all know my take on DIY. I have a love-hate relationship with it. Mostly love because it usually turns out to be awesome, personality-infused awesomeness. I do […]
Read MoreI figured after last week’s controversial Thursday Tips I would go with something a little more neutral for this week. ;) (Honestly, I started writing a totally different post about my whole wedding planning experience, but it started to be waaaaaaay too long, so I’ll have to share it another day, perhaps in installments…) So […]

But wedding blogs- now this is something I know a thing or two about! :) There are SO many blogs out there now. When I was planning my wedding, […]
Read MoreOkay, so I’m up to my eyeballs in meetings, phone calls, emails and work, all because I insist on plotting out the next big steps for ELD, so forgive me for no new Thursday Tips post today! I will, however, provide you with a “curated” list (curated by the super simple search bar at the […]
Read MoreSo if you follow me on Twitter and you’ve been on in the past 2 days, you’ve probably seen tons of Retweets from me with the #engage11 hashtag. Long story short, it’s like a conference for luxury wedding professionals. Something that caused a little bit of a ruckus yesterday was regarding “styled” shoots- what I […]
Read MoreWell, it’s Thursday again! :) Last week when writing the “5 Things To Know About… Wedding Planners” post, I tweeted asking wedding planners what they wanted brides to know about working with them (them being wedding planners). I ended up getting a ton of great things, and so I thought I would share some of […]
Read MoreLast week, I got a phone call from my good friend and amazing photographer Kristen Weaver. Kristen asked me if I had ever done a post about groom fashion, and I admitted that I really have no clue when it comes to men’s fashion. Well lucky me, Kristen knows a thing or two about fashion, […]
