Assigned Seating vs Open Seating
April 6, 2016

As fun and exciting as most wedding planning tasks are, it is fair to say preparation for your big day also comes with some not-so-romantic checklist items. Cue budget discussions, generating the guest list and seating arrangement creation. We’re going to dive deeper on the latter topic and save the other two doozies for another day. When the times comes…

New Year – (mostly) New Trends

As I’m sure you’ve noticed…

She had everything and everyone covered – including care baskets…

T.G.I.F – Wedding Style
July 12, 2013

In the spirit of it being Friday, I thought it would be appropriate to write about an often overlooked opportunity…Friday Weddings!

The way a wedding should be! Vicki and Aaron were quite possibly the most laid-back couple I’ve worked with since landing at the Holiday Inn. Although that hasn’t been long, these two did a great job of planning details where they mattered and not messing with the fuss of things that don’t! Their ceremony was held in a portion of…
