How To: 5 Event Details That Will Make A Big Impact
As a wedding planner, I believe there are ways to incorporate details into your day that will make a big impact with your guests and add to the overall experience of your event. Some are small and inexpensive and others are a bit bigger, but all of these items can be done to some capacity on most wedding budgets.

Venue Coordinators vs. Wedding Coordinators: There IS a difference
There is a common misconception that if your wedding venue provides a venue coordinator, then you do not need to hire you own wedding coordinator. Well, in 95% of cases, I have to say that this is false. A venue coordinator is the NOT the same as a wedding coordinator.

What To Wear: The Morning Of Your Wedding
I’m willing to bet that you’re putting a LOT of thought into what you’re going to be wearing on your wedding day. But chances are, you might not have considered what you’re going to be wearing BEFORE jumping into that outfit. And while you’re more than welcome to wear whatever feels most “you” on your wedding day, I wanted to share two great options for you and your wedding party to look super-chic and function appropriately.

Laura and Anoop contacted me in March of this year to ask if they were positively crazy to try and plan a Hotel du Village wedding for June of the same year. Of course, I said “Heck no!” and we immediately hit it off and began rolling on their wedding plans.
