We all know about Trip advisor for desties.  But when choosing your room blocks and venues, check Trip Advisor first!  It is great to find out what other travelers are saying about your venue or the hotels where you want your guests to stay.  Some of the reviews may be a bit testy– but you [...]

It may be 9:00 a.m. your time, but it’s happy hour somewhere!  I just LOVE these uber-cute arrangements from 1-800 FLOWERS.  They are the perfect touch for bridal luncheons, bachelorette parties or even an informal wedding. The Strawberry Floral Margarita is a beauty– full of lush stargazers, roses and orchids.  Perfect if you are using a [...]

The Scoop:  Jerry & Rebecca got married under a big tree on their ranch. Their ceremony was about 15 minutes long and they “skipped” back up the aisle to a gospel choir. For [...]

Has this happened to you yet?
You’re newly engaged– glowing, beaming with pride, looking divalicious at some family or social function, and someone says, “I can’t wait to see you in your dress! We’ll be at the wedding!”
