Dress Shopping!

Dress Shopping!

So you have booked your first appointment at the best bridal boutique in town and your counting down the minutes until you try on your first wedding dress!! Before packing the tissues for mom stop think about who want to go with you on this big day. Not every sibling or bridesmaid may share or support your unique vision for your perfect day so be cautious. It might be a great idea to get together with some of your closest B.F.F's and talk about what you are envisioning for your wedding to get a idea if they are on board with what you want. I've seen too many brides end up in tears because the lack of love and support from the loved ones that they chose to bring with them. Those that seem to have the “I know best” attitude are the ones that should stay home. Finding the dress is very similar to finding Mr. Right, it's not about which one you can live with, but which one you can't live without! Just remember to have fun, enjoy the day and pack the tissues.

Happy Planning!

Big Guest List or Lots of Details?

Big Guest List or Lots of Details?

Not every bride can have a Kardashian wedding, but there is a way to make it look as if you spent a million dollars, well maybe not actually a million......but you get my point. Narrowing down your guest list is the first and biggest step. If your guest list starts at 250 and your able to trim it down to 125 you can now choose to have a seated and served dinner instead of a buffet, or if you like the idea of a buffet then maybe you could add in a cocktail hour either before the wedding or immediately following while you are taking pictures. It will also allow you to have bigger centerpieces, lounge furniture, more lighting, possibly a band instead of just a DJ, nicer favors for your guests and a very full and lively dance floor. Normally the 250 guests will thin out to just about 100 right after the is cake cut, and those last 100 that stay around are usually your close friends and family anyway. As the bride, you always have the final say on what your wedding day vision turns out to be, but in my opinion it's all about the details and sharing your day with those that mean the most to you.





Happy Planning!

Making the Cut!

Making the Cut!

I'm sure you and Mr. Right have spent countless hours discussing your guest list and as each day passes you seem to remember another “special” person that you just have to put on the list. Before you know it your small intimate wedding has turned into a 300+ person event and you immediately feel stressed and overwhelmed, but how do you cut the list? If you really want to give your guests an unforgettable event without breaking the bank, then give yourself a limit and STICK TO IT! If your seating 100 guests, then break it down. His parents have 20 seats they can fill, not 20 invitations....big difference. Your parents have between 20-30 seats to fill, you will want to offer them a few more seats especially if they are financially contributing to your wedding. That leaves roughly 50-60 seats for your close, supportive friends. If it has been more than 8 months since you have either seen or spoken to some of your “friends” then they should not be invited. Again focus on those people that are supportive of your relationship, instead of those just coming for the open bar.

This may take a group effort but the end result will be worth it. Just take it one step at a time.


Happy Planning!
