If you're debating on an all-inclusive (turn-key) venue or a boutique venue (not inclusive), read this post and see what your priorities may be. You may surprise yourself with your decision!

Would you rather go the straight-forward option of all-inclusive? It saves time , but it can also be more expensive and provide less flexibility.

Gone are the days of throwing rice as the bride and groom make their grand exit. Of course, if you choose to use rice, there’s no danger to wildlife, but many venues have made the decision not to use rice and other confetti-like materials for cleanup purposes.

I'm sure you've heard about the traditional anniversary gift thing, right? Well, here it is! These gift categories may seem really strange and complicated to you, but here are some fun ways to make them modern and unique!

Year 1 - Paper - Seemingly a boring gift, this may be my favorite of all the traditional ones! You could go as simple as a framed copy of your written vows or wedding invitation, or as extravagant as a new house with wallpaper you chose together. Trust me when I say, these gifts can get super sappy and sentimental, or outrageous and extra. Both are great when it comes to celebrating your love!

Year 2 - Cotton - This one is a bit trickier. You can go for something more long-term like a blanket or a piece of screen-printed artwork. You can also find beautiful customized robes or pajama sets to lounge in together on a belated honeymoon or first vacation as a married couple!

Year 3 - Leather - Don't get me wrong. You can 100% get a little frisky with this one. But I'll keep it clean for the purposes of this post. Just remember you can get as kinky as you like.. it's your anniversary after all! A beautiful sentiment for this traditional gift year is a nice leather watch (vegan or otherwise!). It symbolizes both the passing of time, but also the celebration of time already spent and the time to come in your relationship. And yes, it can be a smart watch!

Year 4 - Fruits/Flowers - Yep. This is a strange one. Pretty self explanatory though. Get your sweetheart the rose bush they've always wanted. Plant a tree in the backyard of your first home together. Visit the local lavender or sunflower field and take a great photo. This one gives unending room for interpretation in the best way.

If you make it to 5 years and you're still giving each other gifts.. you are serious couple goals! If you have any cute ideas or gifts you've received, drop them in the comments below! And check out this link for more traditional wedding gifts by year!

If you're a traveler, a honeymoon may feel like just another trip. If you're a homebody, a honeymoon may feel like a daunting task you must complete as a rite of passage. It is neither of those things! A honeymoon is a wonderful time to decompress and enjoy your newlywed bliss with your spouse and it should be anything but "just another trip" or "daunting"!

Make sure you sit down with your fiance to talk about what you want on a honeymoon - Do you need to be on the water? Are you an active couple looking for adventure? Can you see yourself exploring a town you've been to once before just to find new things? Is there a place you want to knock off your bucket list with the person you love? Talking about what an ideal honeymoon looks like for you will help your planning process so much... but so will this guide!

Let me know when you find your perfect spot, I just may have to scope it out for myself!

Handfasting for dummies - what is it, what does it mean, and is it ok for me to include it in my wedding day?

1. Handfasting is a romantic and traditional Celtic wedding ceremony or ritual during which the couple ties their hands together to symbolize their love. The phrase "tying the knot" likely comes from this ceremony!
2. Handfasting is just another way to say "I love you" to the person of your dreams, and in a very beautiful and meaningful way.
3. Absolutely! This ritual is so customizable that you will likely never see two of the same type. There are different colors, types of knots, scripts, and other elements that can be included to fully customize your handfasting ceremony.

This ritual can be done instead of, or in addition to your more traditional ceremony type, and will always add a beautiful and personal touch to it.

The main question I get from couples is "how do I get started?!" First things first, you have to get your overall look in your head. Do you want a romantic and fun backyard wedding? A glamorous ballroom filled with flowers? A classic mansion with a gorgeous outdoor space? The possibilities are truly endless, and this is where you get to have the most fun! Once you've narrowed down your vibe and overall look, you can get started on a planning timeline.

This one from Brides.com is one of my favorites. It walks you through all of the decisions you'll need to make, and gives you a timeline for when they need to be done! If you hire a wedding planner or coordinator, he or she is also able to help create a timeline that works best for you and your unique event. Need some inspiration or guidance? Just reach out! I'm happy to help :)
