A little-used tradition that I think needs a lot more love? The anniversary dance. Instead of tossing your bouquet like a missile (which never ends well for the bouquet), you invite all married couples to the dance floor. The emcee (DJ, Band etc.) will ask couples that have been married less than a day to sit down. Then one year, five years, etc. Until the couple that has been married the longest is left standing. And you gift your bouquet to that couple as a celebration of their love. Call me sappy (many have before) but I think it's the sweetest tradition in the world. ❤️

Something I say--pretty much every time I talk to my couples--is "You don't have to do anything you don't want to do" There's no right way to have a wedding. Think cake cuttings are lame? Pinatas are super fun. Not into pinatas? Can I interest you in a magical private first drink? Want something more interactive? How about a first whipped cream shot on the dance floor? Weddings should be about you, your beloved, and what you love. Full stop. I promise we can come up with any number of ideas that 'feel like you'. ❤️ (For the record, I have nothing against cake cuttings--but they're not for everyone) Photos c/o: , , )⁠

There is literally no point to this post except that I was thinking about this gorgeous wedding and wanted to share it. Experiencing new wedding traditions and cultures is one of my absolute favorite parts of my job. ⁠

"Be in love with your life. Every minute of it." --Jack Kerouac

I think this philosophy gets... misrepresented. It's not about being perky and happy even when life is, objectively, awful. It's about creating a life filled with love so that even when life IS awful, you can surround yourself with love and maybe even a bit of joy. I hope you are surrounded by lots of love today. 💕💕

Happy Anniversary (again!) Paige and Matt! Take (one more!) look at a few vingettes from this gorgeous day. ⁠
⁠
-There was a last-minute ceremony location change, but it turned out to be even more gorgeous then our orginal plan!
-Tully was so excited to see his humans tie the knot! ⁠
-Pro Tip: Try and sneak into see your reception before the doors are open--it's pretty magical to see it all come together. (Especially when .events is in charge of that magic!)⁠

Happy anniversary Sam and Jon! With enormous affection, I refer to their wedding as the "Stars Hollow" wedding. Because, just like Stars Hollow, the entire day (and everyone there) was filled with incredible warmth, understanding, and deep love. Every single vendor from that day spoke about how warm and lovely not just the couple (who are amazing) but their families were.⁠
This was a dream day--from the teary eyed first look the bride shared with her father, to the endless laughter with their bridal party, to the killer dance moves they showed off on the dance floor--it was perfection. I could go on and on about this couple and this wedding (keep an eye on my stories for more beautiful photos from !) but I'll wrap it up here. Sam and Jon, you two are beautiful humans, and I'm so so grateful that I got to be a part of your wedding day!⁠

Happy anniversary to Alex and Kevin!!! Alex and Kevin are some of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet who really owned the concept of a personalized wedding. They had amazing food, music, and invited everyone they loved. Alex handmade a bunch of decor, had a family friend do the (beautiful!) flowers, and kept everything else super simple. And it was perfect. kept the party hopping all night long, made a gorgeous (and delicious!) cake, and everyone danced, laughed, and hugged all night long. And I can't forget the late-night chicken sandwiches which everyone loved! Happy anniversary you two!⁠

Story Time! (Coffee and pop tarts encouraged) Way way back when I was just starting out as a wedding planner I met the one, the only at a networking meeting. We decided to get a cup of coffee together (One of Ashley's many fabulous qualities is how freely she gives her time to newbie entrepreneurs) During that cup of coffee we discovered our mutual love *cough obsession* of Gilmore Girls. This was the summer before the much-anticipated revival of the show, and we decided we simply had to do a styled shoot to honor the show. ⁠
Fast forward a few months to the day of the shoot. Every single vendor is as big a fan as we are, so we're having a LOT of fun with this. While we were setting up this blonde BAMF comes strolling up with a case full of jewelry, that she proceeds to layout on the grass and ask me to pick what I liked. Enter who would become my favorite wedding day assistant/friend. ⁠
As if introducing me to wonderful humans wasn't good enough--the shoot was my first nationally published photo shoot. ⁠
I love working in the wedding world for a lot of reasons, but the people I get to work with are high on the list. Click those photos to check out these amazing vendors!⁠

"Ballroom weddings are all the same"..Poppycock!* Ballroom weddings can be as personal and unique as any other type of wedding. It's all about you and what you want. They have definite pluses and minuses (as does everything). Plus side: Everything is included (or should be!) at a ballroom wedding. Most even have basic table numbers and card boxes available for use. Minus: There's often less flexibility in layout, and because everything is included, the pricing is higher than for venues where you can bring things in.
This wedding was full of personal details and moments and captured by the uber-talented .

*Look, I read a LOT of 19th Century literature as a kid (and adult) and frequently use phrases you've probably never even heard your grandmother use. Among them: Poppycock, fiddlesticks, and good gravy. Yes, I'm a weirdo. I'm OK with that.

Happy One year anniversary to Rachel and Ezra! One year ago today they had a magical wedding at BOk. They had a ceremony in the round--literally surrounding themselves with love from their family and friends, and their reception was, in a word, epic. Featuring the cookie table to end all cookie tables (we had to add two tables and still weren't able to fit all of the cookies--we had to keep refilling throughout the night!), magical decor and flowers from and and the best reception activity ever--couple themed quizzo. Which led to everyone taking swings at the pinata (filled with Tastycakes)--because why have a cake cutting when you can engage in some wedding day carnival fun? And, of course, a dance party that rocked all night long.
Happy anniversary you two! I'm sure it looks a bit different then you thought it would, but I hope you two and Charlie celebrate with excellent food and tasty drinks!
