Haunted hotel wedding?!

Sometimes, it's difficult to put into words how we feel about someone. With a change in ceremony scripts to more personalized vows, the pressure is on to become a wordsmith. If you're drawing a blank or not comfortable coming up with unique vows, why not borrow from the greats?

Are you struggling to write your vows? Are you and your partner both lovers of great literature? Why not sample from some of the greats? (Bonus: Most of them are gender-neutral!)

Outdoor wedding can be magical, but also chaotic. Check out my latest blog post on how to keep cool during your outdoor wedding.

Needing help planning? Feel free to DM me to set up a free initial consultation!

In the warmer months, having an outdoor wedding is very tempting. The weather is nice, plant life is thriving, and the sun and fresh air are lovely. It is also a huge gamble. Storms, insects, sunburns, and more could spell potential doom (too much?) for you and your guests enjoying your wedding day....

I see it all the time, a bride who is enthusiastic and immersed in the wedding planning process while her fiance sits next to her on his phone. It can be frustrating to have a partner who is hands-off when it comes to wedding planning.

Forget veils! Wedding capes are a fun alternative that BOTH partners can wear!

I love capes because they can be worn no matter the weather, and can have so many different designs. They can be feminine, masculine, or anywhere imbetween! So as you plan your wedding attire, maybe consider adding a little flair with a cape.

Wedding cakes are an expensive and stressful wedding tradition. Should you even have one?


https://jackalopeweddings.wixsite.com/jackalopeweddings/post/5-reasons-to-skip-the-wedding-cake

In one form or another, the wedding cake has been a part of Western wedding culture since the Ancient Romans (according to Wikipedia). I for one, enjoy the occasional piece of cake, but the wedding cake tradition has grown stale for me (pun intended). If you are on the fence about whether to have a....

A year ago this May, I helped coordinate my first full-service client's wedding day. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, but these two and their families were great to work with and made me feel like part of the family.

Sometimes privacy can be hard to come by on your wedding day. Check out my blog where I list some ways to keep out unwanted visitors while you get ready.

Last week I talked about how First Looks don't have to be with your partner, but are First Looks worth the extra time? Check out my blog post where I weigh the pros and cons of having a First Look.



https://jackalopeweddings.wixsite.com/jackalopeweddings/post/first-look-pros-and-cons

Remember the old superstition that a groom seeing a bride in her dress before the wedding would doom the marriage? Let's take a peek at some of the pros and cons of a Fist Look.

06/04/2022

First Looks aren't just for your partner! You can have a first look with your parents, kids, or friends!

Last year I had the honor of seeing a bride have a sweet First Look moment with her father. He presented her with a specially-made blanket with a lovely note. It definetley was one of the highlights of the day!

Newly engaged? It won't take long before your email is inundated with wedding-related messages and ads. Keep the clutter down and reduce the risk of missing important messages by creating a unique wedding Gmail to keep things separate.

The best part? Once the planning is over, you can delete the email and not have to worry about intrusive ad!
