Recently Huffington Post had a wedding blog titled “Why We Didn’t Hire a Wedding Planner… but Wish We Had” which I posted on my facebook page. It was brilliantly written. It had several great points. It was smart. It was insightful. It was perfect. At an industry luncheon a videographer joked “You’ve been published lately, did you ghost write it?” I replied – “If I am going to something that’s going to be picked up by Huntington Post, I want […]
Our pets are our family. Our pets are people too. So why not when planning your wedding include them in your celebration? Whether your pet is honored by being part of the ceremony itself, or honored in the favors, it’s important you remember your furry friend on the wedding day. Jezebel (above) and Lillie below were both flower girls for their parents and (nearly) stole the show. However, with these two stunning couples – NEARLY – is the important […]
Father’s Day is this Sunday and in the day’s honor, I wanted to have brides reflect on their first love ~ their Daddy. During the wedding weekend, the entire day seems to go very quickly. I wanted to give a few points in the day to honor the man who stood by your side until you met the new love of your life. Having these moments with your Dad will be among the best memories of your wedding. Both you, and your […]
A Toast to Mothers! As we enter Mother’s Day week I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the importance of family in a wedding. The wedding ceremony is the blending of two families into one and while some portions of the ceremony ritual dictate how this happens, I want each of my planning clients to also take a few moments to relax, enjoy and take a deep breath. I also want their families to do the same. Savoir […]

To all of my clients, family and friends, whether this is your first “Married” Christmas – your 10th, 40th, or more — Joyeux Noel! Take a few minutes to enjoy the best gift of all, one another! According to “The New York” times a whopping 15% of all engagements take place this week, and based on a survey by “The Knot” 39% of couples propose between November and February! To couples who will remember Christmas 2012 for their […]
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 […]
