Well engagement season is here and suddenly I am like a little kid on Xmas Eve.
I know that the all the statisticians of this industry say that 70% of couples who get engaged do it between American Thanksgiving and Valentines day with the bulk of those couples saying "OMG, YES YES, I LOVE YOU YES" during those crucial two days that surround Xmas.

Forgetting a breath mint right before you first kiss as husband and wife! Your sense of smell is the only sense hardwired directly to the part of your brain that stores memories. Don’t let the onions on the Whopper you choked down 30 minutes before the ceremony be how she remembers the most important kiss of your lives! And pick a flavor she likes! Have the best man slip you a mint 5 minutes before the kiss! And beware of Tic Tacs! Great product but they make a lot of noise when you have a… Continue

There are many ways to share with family, friends, and co-workers about the wedding engagement announcement, but who should couples share information with first? Normally, the couples share the news with the bride’s parents and then the grooms parents, but where can the bride and groom make their wedding announcement? Typically, the couples do not make the…

2010 is right around the corner, and with a new year, comes new trends. 2010 will be the year for smaller and more intimate weddings. Not only could this be a good thing for budget reasons, but will also be romantic. Imagine your family and closest friends gathered together in a beautiful garden surrounded by delicate roses and hydrangeas, an arch draped in organza and a harpist serenading you as you walk down the aisle to your future husband, now doesn't that sound romantic? Warm, bright and…

One of my favorite times of the day is when a bride or groom calls and announces that they have just become engaged! Suddenly I can forget the little concerns of the day and stop and CELEBRATE with the happy couple. Each time I get the call I have little fireworks going off in my head knowing that this is a very happy time to share with family and friends and to begin researching their choice of a great wedding planning/coordination company.
However, this can also be a time of stress…

Here is a list of suggestions on how to cut your wedding costs.
1. Cut the guest list - if possible. Sometimes it's not possible due to family situations etc. This is the number 1 way of cutting costs.
