As wedding season begins to wind down, and I reflect on my 2015 weddings, the wedding of Brittney and Conor resonates with me not only as a highlight of the year, but likely of my career. Brittney, Conor and their families are kind, outgoing, warm and entirely trusting — and oooohhh – they know how to celebrate! After dating since middle school, these life-long lovers tied the knot in bold style – and shared their weekend with vibrant color, whimsical […]

(If you’re asking me to reveal a favorite — ohh SUCH a hard choice […]
Every once in a while a couple just touches your soul. In 14 years of planning weddings I’ve been lucky enough to have this happen to me several times throughout the year. It’s one of the reasons I am so discerning about the number of clients I take a year, and one of the reasons I interview each client so thoroughly as much as they interview me. My only regret with Andrea and Patrick — time. Patrick proposed to Andrea […]
Megan+Phil culminated an amazing week with their wedding celebration! What started out as oh, you know an average week … just graduating medical school – ended 7 days later as husband and wife 🙂 – just another average week for these two amazingly beautiful people! Megan and Phil infused their fun-loving spirit and heritage into their entire weekend’s events. The concept “tying the knot” inspired the invitation which infused a beautiful Celtic symbol into the whole celebration. The […]
We all know entering any special event an experience for the entire mind, body and soul. It’s something for each of the 5 senses and one of my favorites for my clients to think about is the sense of touch! Every client thinks about sight and sound, and quite obviously taste – but touch is of equal importance. In many cases, it relates to the other senses. If you touch something – it’s because the sense of sight made […]
For over ten years I’ve loved hearing couples tell the story about how they met, their first date and eventually, the proposal. It’s fun to hear how the groom-to-be often nervously asked permission of the bride’s father (sometimes with her mom present, other times without her there) and then planned the perfect time to finally ask the most important question of his life. I’ve heard some wonderful stories lately – I’ve had some pretty lucky clients! Two clients lately have […]
I had a client about a year ago use a wonderful term for guests’ needs – temperature / restroom facilities / parking / proximity to food / guestroom accommodations – “their creature comforts” Thank you Anne – I love that term and I’ve adopted fully! I find myself referring to it often and thinking of you with fondness, smiling to myself as I tell other people about “creature comforts.” One way creature comforts factor into a wedding is the moment […]
The written wedding invitation first emerged in the Middle Ages when used exclusively by nobility. It has evolved over the years, however basic rules of etiquette still apply when sending that glorious envelope in the mail to your wedding guests. It is important to study up when first becoming engaged to ensure that you follow those rules. It is also important that you (gasp) have fun with your invitation! It’s the first glimpse into your wedding your guests will see […]
