Catherine & Danny
- Catherine was a dream bride not only because of her incredible beauty, poise and relaxed personality; but also because she came to me with a distinct vision. I really appreciate when a bride knows what she wants on her wedding day. It also makes my job as a planner much easier to have a bride who [...]

Let Them Eat Cake... Or Not!

Much revered and much eaten over many centuries, the wedding cake has evolved from a mince meat pie in the seventeen hundreds to a multi-tiered extravaganza enjoyed exclusively by royalty. Today, brides and grooms everywhere have become royalty on their wedding day and many a[...]
Carly & Austin
- Carly and Austins' wedding in Steamboat Springs was inspired by their love of Colorado with a touch of Alabama, their home state. We used navy and white, with touches of green and pink and accented it all with a compliment of burlap. We incorporated the navy linens with custom stamped burlap monog[...]
Sarah & Chris
Sometimes you just "click" right away with a client. And so it was with Sarah. From our very first meeting, I loved this bride. She was fun and spunky with an inner beauty that shone bright. Planning the details with Sarah was a joy. Chris is her equal with the kindest and sweetest disposition [...]
Chair Envy
Sometimes, I feel like I'm trapped in the movie Groundhog Day every time I plan a wedding. I think this is because, since my own wedding over twelve blissful years ago, I still cannot let go of a few details of my own 'main event' that I wish I could have changed. Every time time I plan a wedding [...]

A Most Unusual Guest Book Idea
I often get solicitations from a wide array of vendors offering products and services, but when I read the email from Bill Keys I was intrigued. (I wonder if that is his real name since he actually works with "keys.") Bill provides a very unique style of wedding entertainment, which is also can be [...]

Best Save the Date for a Bar Mitzvah
This is one of the cutest Bar Mitzvah Save the Dates I've ever seen!
Sorry everyone - this video was removed from the internet. It showed 13 year old Daniel from Atlanta doing a Bar Mitzvah rap as his "save the date" for his Bar Mitzvah. It aired on the Today show and was posted on my space but[...]

The Main Event was one of four planners at this [...]
