The sweetest moments on your wedding day are usually the ones with just you two!
•
They are sometimes hard to come by on day that flies by, but this is your official reminder to make time for just the two of you on your wedding day.
•
So often I hear couples say they felt like they barely interacted with their new spouse on their wedding day because they are preoccupied with everything going on in the day.
•
Here are a few ways you can make time for each other on your wedding day:
1. Have a first look- make it just you two and your photographer/videographer. Take time to share letters to each other or even your vows.
2. During Cocktail Hour- after you’ve gotten your formal photos out of the way, request a plate of the hors d'oeuvres being served and a glass of bubbly and sneak away somewhere private.
3. Sit at a sweetheart table- have your first meal as a married couple together and just take in the moment of having all of your loved ones in one room with you both.
4. Sneak away for sunset photos- ask your planner and photographer to schedule time to slip away during that perfect golden hour. You get stunning photos and a moment to be alone.
5. Have a last dance- ask your DJ to stick around for one last dance after your guests have left and share a moment in the quiet space together at the end of the night.

You know it’s a good night when I tear up saying goodbye to my couple at the end of the night and Adrianne and Chris were one of those couples!

It was truly a pleasure being part of the all-star team that brought this day together for one of the sweetest couples.

I think I get just as excited as my couples when I receive a gallery of STUNNING photos from photographers!!
•
I can’t tell you how many times I have scrolled through Madison and Jerry’s gallery since I received it from .photos earlier this week! And I am in love!!
•
Wedding days are such a blur and there are often times that I am running around finalizing details and I miss moments in the day. But when I get to scroll through the complete gallery I get so excited to see every detail on display.
•
If you need me I’ll be here all night reminiscing about the Klue’s gorgeous day!

Happy today we are answering the question... why do brides traditionally carry a bouquet of flowers? 💐
•
Today a lush bouquet featuring some of the bride’s favorite flowers is usually a beautiful accessory for a wedding day, however the tradition of bouquets did not begin as just an accessory.
•
In Ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt brides would often carry or wear garlands of flowers to symbolize new beginnings, and fertility.
•
Brides were often also found carrying a bushel of strong smelling herbs and spices to ward off evil spirits and bring about good luck.
•
Additionally, both strong smelling spices and fragrant florals also helped to mask body oder in times when baths were not readily available to people.
•
It wasn’t till the Victorian Era that flowers became a popular romantic symbol and were used as part of a wedding like they are today.
•
Today a bouquet of blooms is a great way for a bride to express her personal style and personality and add a lovely and romantic touch to a wedding day look!

Today’s topic voted on by you...Veils 👰🏽‍♀️
•
Flyaway to Cathedral length- veils are a common accessory to many bridal looks. However, their history, like most wedding traditions, is a bit complicated.
•
In Ancient Greece and Rome a bride typically wore a colorful veil over her face to disguise herself from evil spirits. The idea was that evil spirits wouldn’t be able to make out who the bride was with veil over her face so they would be unable to curse the newly married couple.
•
As traditions evolved and arranged marriages became more popular, a white veil, to symbolize purity and innocence, was worn to hide the bride’s face from her groom until their marriage was declared.
•
In the Jewish faith, veils are meant to signify a groom’s love for his bride’s inner beauty and that the two remain distinct individuals even after marriage.
•
Veils worn at weddings today, do not typically have any underlying meaning other than adding a beautiful accessory to a wedding day look and like any traditional element, they are completely optional based on your personal preference!

Featuring one of my favorite traditions on this The First Dance ✨
•
The “first dance” has been historically used to open balls or special events and was often performed by the King and Queen or the hosts of the event.
•
Most people used to be classically trained in ballroom dancing and could typically perform a traditional waltz when called upon.
•
Today most couples are not classically trained but instead either sway back and forth to a special song or take it upon themselves to learn a few fun choreographed steps.
•
No matter how couples choose to share this moment, the first dance signifies the beginning of a great celebration and the beginning of a beautiful marriage.

Hi there! Em here just stopping by to say hi 👋🏼

I don’t show may face around here too much, but I just got some awesome new headshots from and figured it was a good time for a little

A couple fun facts about me:

1. I’m a sucker for a good Rom-Com- I just watched all three of the movies on Netflix this week! Have you seen them yet?

2. I am planning my own wedding for later this year! And I am feeling all the ups and downs of planning during a pandemic too!

3. We have two adorable rescue kitties at home but I’ve been begging my fiancé for a puppy for a while now. He says we have to wait till we are finished renovating our house.

4. I LOVE coffee but it has to be iced- no matter what time of year.

5. 21 has always been my lucky number so I’m hoping that means that this year is gonna be a good one!

I’d love to get to know you too! Tell me a little about yourself 😁

These snowy days make me want to cozy up to a warm fire! 🔥
•
I’m not sure about you, but I love a venue that provides beautiful atmosphere indoors and out!
•
Having a nice outdoor space for guests to escape but still feel welcomed and comfortable is such a nice bonus to any reception.
•
I know we all hope for a full dance floor all night long, but some guests might also enjoy a few outdoor games, a cozy fire, or just a place to sit quietly and converse with people outside of the bumping party!
•
If that’s something you are looking for- reach out, I know a few local venues I would be happy to recommend!

What you don’t usually see behind the scenes...
•
On every wedding day I get the nervous jitters too! Mine are a little different then what you will experience as the person actually getting married, but they stem from my excitement, anticipation, and my overall desire to make things as perfect as possible for my couples!
•
I come prepared to take on any challenge that the day may bring, and I strive to make it so that you, your family, and your guests are none the wiser to anything that may go wrong.
•
Equipped with my loaded emergency kit, I can steam, sew, glue, or erase almost anything!

Peep the surprise 🌈
•
I love when my couples find creative and meaningful ways to showcase their personalities.
•
Your day should be a celebration of both of you, so why not share somethings that make it unique and beautiful?
•
It could be as small as writing your own vows, serving a signature drink or your favorite dessert. Or something more like donating to a special charity in lieu of favors or writing personalized notes to each table or guest.
•
Tell me something unique about your wedding day?

A trend I hope continues in 2021? Micro Weddings!
•
I know so many people had to change plans last year out of necessity, but so many of those changes proved that it doesn’t matter how many people you have, how lavish your decorations, or even where you celebrate. At the end of the day, you get to marry the love of your life!
•
I love the intimacy of a micro wedding. With less guests, you obviously have more time to share with each and every one of the people present on this most special day. Not to mention for those who are more introverted, the pressure of being in front of so many people is lessened.
•
There is clearly a lot of cost savings when it comes to a micro wedding. The fewer people you invite, the less amount you spend on food and alcohol, likely the largest expense for most weddings.
•
Even if an elaborate party is your jam. A micro wedding affords you the opportunity to re-allocate some of your budget to splurge on some things your really want. Hire that videographer, get the bouquet of your dreams, feed all of your guests a gorgeous plated meal if you want to.
•
I know a micro wedding is not for everyone, but if you are thinking about it- I say go for it (AND GIVE ME A CALL)! I love planning and coordinating these intimate affairs and I would love to chat with you about our special Mirco Wedding packages!

Pop the bubbly and say goodbye to 2020! 🥂
•
We all know this year was a challenge. It challenged our resilience, our patience, our beliefs and knowledge about the way the world works, our health, our wellbeing, our strength.
•
But despite these challenges it also brought some hard earned lessons.
•
To love and show kindness to EVERYONE.
•
To be mindful of your mental health as well as your physical, and check in on your strong friends.
•
To slow down and focus on what matters.
•
To celebrate life, love, and happiness in new and creative ways!
•
I have always loved New Years Eve and have amazing memories as a child gathering with our big family, playing games, and laughing till midnight. This year I am celebrating the end of the year (at home in my PJs) by reminiscing on the silver linings of 2020. And tomorrow will be the beginning of a new adventure! Cheers to you in 2020 and here’s to what’s to come in 2021! 🌟

Love, Em

You’re invited! 💌
•
Don’t take your wedding invitations for granted! They are the first impression to your guests and can often be a great way to showcase your personalities.
•
I always like to encourage my couples to keep an extra set of their invitation suite on hand and bring it with you on your wedding day so that your photographer can include it in some stunning detail shots too.
•
My fiancé and I are currently working on designing our Save the Dates and I am stuck between 2 very different designs. Do I go playful and fun magnet or romantic and pretty photo with vellum?

Have I mentioned how much I love wedding videography?
•
I have heard over and over how much people love watching their wedding videos. They have the power to take you back to that very moment and remember the ever important details of the day.
•
Everything flies by and I know so many couples who, at the end of the day, say it was a total whirlwind. More than anything, I think it gives you the opportunity to hear the sweet toasts or your intimate vows and be reminded of the love that surrounded the room.
•
