Wedding Planning

I have been planning weddings for over 10 years now. Helping couples and their families through the maze of checklists, vendors, budgets, etiquette guidance, to have a theme or not to, designing the day, flowers, linens, photography tips, I have fired a maid of honor for a bride, played mediator between many mothers and daughters and fought countless battles with on behalf my dear clients. And now I am a bride to be!

Nope I have never been married!

I will be marrying the sweetest man next April.

Planning my own wedding has really made me be able to see what my brides feel and expect of their planner. Sitting on the other side of my desk as my assistant/planner goes through my checklist and reminds me of all the things I need to work on and the things we have left makes me think THIS IS SO WORTH IT!

Going through this process is exciting. I can't wait to marry this man! We decided to give ourselves a year to plan our wedding. I am thankful for every second of time we have. Not only does it give us more time to save, it also allows me more time to plan and personalize my day.

I always said I wanted to get married on a beach but once I became engaged having a beach wedding no longer felt like us. It was definitely me but not US. We decided we would have a day that is rich with family and friends. Relaxed and not overly fussy. Let's see if I can manage not to go overboard by the time the wedding gets here!
