I’m a copywriter, which means that my day job is to create an experience out of words. When it came to planning my own wedding, I used my writing skills to communicate our story. Whether you are looking to write vows, a wedding website, or group emails, these tips will help you…
Whether you are having your wedding in a church, on a farm, or in your parents’ backyard, everyone wants their ceremony to be special and unique. One great way to find the perfect decorations for your special day is to shop Etsy. There you will find handmade and unique ceremony decor for…
I know it can’t just be me who thinks that most engaged couples choose pretty generic, unoriginal ring bearer apparel for the special little dude in their ceremony. Sure, any kiddo will look adorable walking down the aisle in practically anything, but if you are wanting to find something truly unique for…
Hi, Brides The end is near, the end of 2015 that is! That means it is officially almost my wedding year and I have not officially asked my officiant to marry us (see what I did there ) If you read my post last week, you may remember that I’ve had a hard…

There has been a lot of talk within the wedding world lately about an “Unplugged Ceremony”. If you are unfamiliar with this term, it means that the bride and groom request their guests to refrain from using their phones, cameras, or other electronic devices during the ceremony (sometimes the entire wedding day).…

Drew and I decided that we wanted to include a few special people in our ceremony by asking them to share a reading with our guests. One of the reading selections was easy, Oh the Places You’ll Go from Dr. Seuss. Drew’s family read this story every school year and it was included…
The walk down the aisle is probably THE most anticipated moment of any in weddings. It’s a very special moment and the music you select is very important. Long before I was ever engaged I always knew that I’d walk down the aisle to a Stevie Wonder song. It was predestined. When…
