Your wedding will be one of the most important days of your life and the planning is just as important. But when you are getting down to what's important during the planning process, I've learned from planning my clients weddings that there are some ground rules to try and follow and remember. 1. Don't be afraid to ask for help I am the queen of taking on too much and trying to do everything myself. I think I can be like my mom who is a real life super woman and then realize

Sometimes we get to plan weddings that are SO pretty and SO special, it's hard not to get attached. Especially when we see all the gorgeous photos from the big day! If you know us, we also stress the importance of details! Small personal touches can really add that extra something to the ceremony and rehearsal space. Paris holds a special place in Colin and Leigh's hearts (p.s. it's where they got engaged!!), so of course they incorporated the "city of love" into their big da

Where to begin with this one? For starters, Sara was one of our crazier brides for sure (not in a bad way!) She kept us on our toes throughout the planning process AND on the day of. But we love her for it! Sometimes our bride's come to us with a lot of ideas in one department, but aren't sure what they want in others. That's where we come in to either rein them back and guide them in a certain direction. Like sometimes they want three different linens! That's where Waterford

Stephanie and David are one of our January brides that we had the pleasure of coordinating their wedding. Stephanie and I have known each other for years! I actually coached her at NC State. So when she asked me to be her planner I wasn't about to say no! They were married at the gorgeous Duke Chapel and their reception was at Scharf Hall on Duke University's campus. Their cupcakes were gluten free and they had a full on paleo meal since both the bride and the groom are avid

Kelly and Andy are a truly special couple! They're adorable, madly in love, and have an amazing group of family and friends that came and celebrated their big day! Our team was so excited as we made our way from Virginia Beach to Ocean City for their wedding at the Ocean Pines Yacht Club! Normally we like to handle the set up around the ceremony and reception site, but Kelly and her girls were right there with us making sure every last detail was just as she envisioned! Every

When your bride asks you to fly out to Nashville to plan her December wedding at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, you say YES! What's a better way to spend the holidays than a weekend trip to Nashville? Not only was I thrilled to travel, but thrilled for this adorable couple that I have known for many years (I grew up with and went to high school with Deb's daughters). I was honored to plan and coordinate Deb and Kevin's big day. It was a small intimate wedding, but very beautifu

The Ross family was such a fun and lively family, they really kept our team on our toes during Christine and Ryan's wedding! We started our day early, picking up linens from Affordable that would compliment the decor already in place at MOCA. We spent most of our afternoon placing tables, chairs, and bar furniture... thanks again to the family and friends who helped us girls lug everything around the venue!! Most of the decor was DIY, and the couple saved a bit by having fami
