It’s week 4 of our vendor spotlight series. For the last several weeks we’ve been focusing on some of the finer elements of a wedding. This week though, we’re ready to PARTY. Some of the best memories I have of weddings come from the reception. So this week, I sat down with Obehi the DJ, […]

Happy 3rd week of our vendor spotlight series. This week we spoke with Wedding Planner and Stylist, Amy Boardwine of I Do Events. We’ve worked with Amy on several weddings and shoots and she’s one of our favorite people to team up with. Amy began planning elaborate birthday parties for her daughter over 20 years […]

It’s week 2 of our “What’s in your kit” series spotlighting our vendor friends. This week, we’re featuring Love is in the Air Events. Love is in the Air opened its doors in 2010, and prides itself on being a one-stop shop for parties. The boss babe duo team of Linda Loveleen Hall and Mary […]

If you haven’t heard, a lot goes into planning an event… especially a wedding. While a wedding can very much be done as a DIY, often any big event involves vendors. Since we spend so much time with fellow vendors, we thought we’d take some time to ask them what goes into getting ready for […]

“Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Cor 16:14 We love it when our couples incorporate their personal customs and traditions into their wedding celebrations. From cultural traditions to faith traditions, these moments make a wedding ceremony deeply personal and meaningful.  Recently, our bride Natalie and her husband Joey filled their […]

Perhaps, like me, you grew up on classic rom-com movies like You’ve Got Mail, Pretty in Pink, The Wedding Planner, and Steel Magnolias. Steel Magnolias has always had a special place in my heart. And darn if that movie doesn’t make me crave cake! (I mean, what movie doesn’t?)  If you haven’t seen the movie, […]

If you’re like me and grew up with perhaps the best generation of teenage Rom-Com movies (I’m looking at you 10 Things I Hate About You), you already know all about the importance of the father/daughter dance at a wedding reception. What a Girl Wants definitely educated you. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to dance […]

As a little girl, there were several parts of any wedding that I looked forward to with anticipation and curiosity. What would the groom’s face look like as the bride walked down the aisle? What would the bride’s dress look like? What kind of cake would there be (it’s always about the cake)? And what […]

When I was in 5th grade, our choir was performing a concert for the other students in our elementary school. We were all supposed to wear black t-shirts and denim pants. At the time, bell-bottoms were the trendiest pants in existence and I desperately wanted to wear them for our concert. I remember my mom […]

When I was a little girl dreaming of what my wedding would look like one day, I knew two things: 1. I did NOT want the preacher to talk for a long time and 2. I wanted A LOT of music. So, it’s no surprise to me that I now sit on my couch in […]
