Hello, hello...is this thing on? Ahhhh! We have been so absent from the blog this spring-summer as we've been having too much fun working with our amazing brides and grooms! We have been totally blessed with such an amazing year!
Read MoreOnly a few short weeks ago Tricia and I collaborated with a A-Team of vendors to create a unique Bridal Shower for WeddingWire's SpringBook. "WeddingWire is the industry leader in local business reviews. Coupled with the most in-depth merchant information including over 1 million business reviews, WeddingWire is the best place to search, compare and book over 200,000 event merchants, from venues to photographers. The company also offers a comprehensive suite of online planning tools for weddings, including wedding websites and wedding checklist, all at no charge."** Whenever you are considering booking a vendor I always advise my brides to check out their reviews on Wedding Wire before they sign a contract. Unlike some other places, where vendors can pay to have bad reviews deleted, WeddingWire does not have that options. What you see is what you get!
Read MoreTricia and I were beside ourselves when we were approached by Wedding Wire to design a feature for their upcoming Spring E-Magazine. We love doing photo shoots and collaborating with our favorite vendors to make these fun ideas and visions we have come to life. Tricia and I created an over the top, colorful bridal shower for our models.
The shoot was seriously the most fun day ever. Surrounding ourselves with friends and family and being able to call it work is literally a dream come true. A big THANK YOU (times a million) to our vendors and models for supporting this beautiful shoot. Check out the sneak peek below! We will be sure to share the entire feature once it's released on Wedding Wire.

Last weekend, Tricia and I headed to one of the best bridal salons in the area, Bella Bridesmaids. The owner Lacey is donating some of her amazing dresses for our big Wedding Wire photo shoot this weekend. I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for bridesmaid dresses. They seriously have every color, style, and size imaginable. I am a huge LuluKate lover (some may classify it as a fanatic ;) ) and they are the only retailer with their brand in town. Lacey was kind enough to allow us to come in and take over the salon with our models. We selected about 5-6 dresses for the models to try on to figure out which would go best with our vision. Check out some of the ones that didn't make the cut along with some pictures of their amazing salon!
Please forgive me for my horrible iPhone pictures. We can't wait to share more sneak peeks leading up to the big day!
Till next time, happy planning!! Cheers!
