DIY vs. Paying a Professional

So, I was reading Twitter this morning and came across this title: “…When to DIY, When to Pay the Pros.”  I read the article from One Wed and absolutely loved it. 

As a wedding planner, I actually really like when a bride adds DIY touches (or more than touches) to her wedding.  It makes it so [...]

And yet again…

Well, it seems as if the best laid plans always go awry. Yep. It’s been since April that I’ve had a blog entry. Not much in the way of excuses, either. I always have something to say, but I guess not a lot of time to say it.

As always, planning that once-in-a-lifetime celebration in this new decade is all about attention to detail, with [...]

Hiring (real) Wedding Professionals

Sometimes there is an article I come across that begs repeating in full. I’ve linked to it, but I’ve reprinted the entire post below as well.

When you hire a wedding professional, we have an obligation to you – that’s a given. But we also have an obligation to the other professionals [...]

And the total is….

After several months of planning and three long, hard, but fantastic days, we raised over $31,000 for Brides Against Breast Cancer!

Over 40 brides found their dream wedding dress this weekend.  Many more came to see if they could find their dress.  Even if they didn’t find it, I hope they had fun and enjoyed the experience.  [...]
