Amy and Izaak’s Pro Pics

Amy and Izaak, you may remember were married at the gorgeous King and Prince Resort, and their pro pics are in! Let’s take a gander We had superbad weather that day, so we had to move the ceremony inside. We were holding out, but everyone was in good spirits. After all, people come here [...]

With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility

My two year old (featured top left), tells me that on a DAILY basis. I mean he watches Spiderman every day. All three of the movies some time.  And he’s right.  I think about that in context as my role as a mom, a wife, and of course, as a wedding planner. I can see why [...]

Making Memories

Trash the Dress Donate the Dress! After our wedding, I took my disgusting wedding gown to the cleaners to go through the preservation process.  My husband saw the bill and told me I was crazy to spend all that money to keep “some material” in a box in our closet for the rest of our lives.  He [...]

Happy Veterans’ Day!

Today is special– I’ve got lots of veterans (Dad, husband gka Capt America, sister, bro-in-law, uncle, best friends, etc.) in my family.  Our Abby is married to a military man :)  I can appreciate the sacrifice that they give to our country– even in hard times.  My daughter even made a coloring book for veterans’ [...]

If you’re a wedding junkie like me I’m sure you’ve seen at least some of the wedding shows that are now on nearly every channel. I happen to be a big fan of “Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?” on WETV. Each episode of the show focuses on a planner helping a bride with [...]

New Rule Friday

It’s New Rule Friday everybody! Let’s see what’s ruining the buttercream this week… New Rule: Pick a favor someone cares about. No one really wants an itsy bitsy photo frame that doubled as a place card holder. People rarely print out their photos nowadays, let alone print a 1×3 inch photo to [...]

Weddings in Toile-light

Toile is becoming the next wedding sensation in the upcoming seasons. With the Baroque Marie Antoinette trend still going strong, toile is making one heck of a comeback. It is everywhere: your invitations, your linens, even your dress! What’s great about it is that it can be done in a sophisticated, yet [...]

Congratulations, Matt and Zuleida!

Uber-gorgeous super couple, Matt and Zuleida were married along the sunkissed waters on the Riverfront Lawn at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel on Saturday.  For our last wedding of the year, it went fabulously (if I may say so myself )!  It was a six month long process, but we seemed to have tied [...]

Him Book.

“ How did it happen that four such smart women have nothing to talk about but boyfriends? It’s like seventh grade with bank accounts.”- Sex and the City  I love it. It’s so true. You all know that when you get together with your girls somehow you end up on the same topic- your guys.   I was looking at a [...]

Exchanging Vows with Your Vendors

Choosing vendors can be a complicated process. I mean, here you are in the midst of the most important day of your life and you have to entrust it to someone you’ve never met before. It can be pretty harrowing. But, believe it or not, it doesn’t have to be that bad. [...]
