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 […]

Bridal beauty goes far beyond the dress – and the ever important jewelry and the shoes – ohhh the shoes – it also includes bridal hair and makeup. It’s important to think in advance about hair and makeup as part of your overall look If you color your hair regularly, make sure you you’ve talked with your salon months beforehand and gotten the schedule of your appointments. Have an appointment with your stylist to practice your trial run and decide […]
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 […]
Children across the country are heading back to school; as a wedding planner I am often asked about children and their role in a couple’s wedding. Whether it be the nieces and nephews of the bride and groom, a dear family friend or even their own child, a bride and groom often have wee ones they want to include into their wedding day. Many brides first began dreaming of their own wedding when they were a flower girl themselves. […]

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 […]
Right after the proposal many brides-to-be rush out to try on wedding dresses. One thing I advise my clients is to wait until they’ve decided on the date, venue and formality of the wedding before selecting their wedding before getting the dress. Last weekend one of my clients bought her dress which has inspired this, Mon Amie Events, Inc.’s first blog post! This post doesn’t come without over a decade of wedding planning experience and people from within the bridal […]
