“Should I tip my vendors?” It’s an age-old question, but there’s not much information out there on it to help you all decide.

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 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, […]
