Raise your hand if you love bold colors. Now, raise your hand if you want to incorporate those bold colors into your wedding design plan, but you may not know how without looking like you are hosting a circus.

Don’t get me wrong, those classic color palettes are beautiful and if that is your style, I a

The internet has completely revolutionized the way we live every day, in many ways we depend on technology for almost everything. In terms of how we plan weddings, the internet has helped evolve the industry into what we think of today. No longer do brides only have written publications, friends recommendations and radio/television ads to turn to for wedding information and inspiration. We no longer solely rely on snail-mail to collect RSVPs and we don’t have to stuff invitat

Let’s get this party started and talk about the bar! What better way to do that than with something that brings the party to wherever you are… that’s right, I am talking about a mobile bar. I first met Candy at a networking event when the name Sip’n Easy was just starting to break into the wedding scene.

FINALLY! The much needed and anticipated honeymoon trip is here! All you want to do is get out of town and celebrate your new marriage with the love of your life, but let’s put on the breaks for a second and make sure we have checked all the traveling boxes. I know, I know, what a pain. Can’t I just jump on that plane and forget all my worries for the time being? As easy and as nice as that sounds, there are certain things to consider depending on where you decide to vacation

You just got married, you have this beautiful wedding ring and you signed the marriage license, wouldn’t it be nice if that’s all it took to start signing that new last name of yours? Unfortunately, that is not how the system works. If you are going to officially take your new spouse’s last name as your own it will take several steps, many forms and a lot of patience. For this exact reason, many brides decide to either not change their name or wait months before getting aroun

In a wedding industry saturated with photographers, it is very important to take your time and find the right one for you and your style – after all, you will be looking at these pictures forever. With that said, let me introduce you to Zach Nichols, a wedding photographer and outdoor enthusiast. I first met and worked with Zach on a few years ago at weddings held at the venue I was managing at the time. I had the pleasure of working with him several more times at the last ve

Since 2000, the Pantone Color Institute has picked a color to represent the coming year. Each December the results are published in the Pantone View, which many florists and designers use to help guide clients and designs for future projects.
