(or what some people may call a blog...but what can we I say- we're bougie around here) 

I have started and scraped this blog post at least two dozen times. I’m terrified to share this, but also feel like it’s time. I have ached to scream from the highest peak so that the people who suffer like I do will hear me and know they are not alone and so we can go […]

You. Yea. YOU.  Put down the new copy of Brides. NOW. Right now. Right there, just set it down. That’s it…… Now… Log out of your Pinterest account, that’s right…allll the way out.  Good. It has recently come to my attention, that you are trying to plan a wedding, but that you have not discussed […]

Happy Friday, Friends!!! While I am watching the snow continue to fall out my window after enjoying the 60 DEGREE WEATHER earlier this week. I thought I would take a moment to fill you in on one of my favorite products. The amazing bags from Rebekah Scott Designs! First of all because I love sharing […]

Oh hey Friends! If you know me, you know I am a firm believer in CELEBRATIONS! It doesn’t matter how larger or how small, I love an excuse to do something fun or special. Well, today is a very special day. It is NATIONAL MARGARITA DAY!  National Margarita Day is observed annually on February 22nd! […]

MMMMMK…so over the last year or so I have become a HUGE fan of Podcasts! I love to listen to Podcasts while I am driving, or getting ready in the morning. Sometimes I find that when my anxiety is really bad listening to just music can actually make it worse, it’s almost too much stimulation […]

Alright, this is going to be an extremely authentically Amber post. I hope that when you read it you will feel like I am sitting right next to you, speaking directly to you. I say crazy things like “you do you, Boo Boo…” ALL the time. That phrase is one of my faves lately. We’d […]

When you meet with a bride and she says…I love three things: My fiance, trees, and winter. OK! I can work with that! Stefanie and Aaron got married on an unseasonably warm January day in 2016. I know, the bride that LITERALLY LOVES being cold and playing in the snow and it’s 36 degrees on […]

On a windy day in September, some of Southern Minnesota’s most talented wedding vendors arrived at a little known oasis in Kasota, MN. We were all excited about gathering together, but I don’t think any of us were prepared for the beauty that was about to unfold. You see, for this shoot, I really wanted […]

I have to be honest for a moment here. I tooootally failed at 2016. Big time. I was pushing so hard towards my goals that I absolutely did not spend intentional time doing ANYTHING for myself or the back side- the heart and soul of my business.  Blogs were few and far between, work on […]

I know, I know. January is almost over and I am JUST now getting around to really digging in and digging deep to set my goals for this year. Well, let me tell you, better late than never. I really believe that it isn’t about WHEN you start, but rather that you ACTUALLY GET STARTED. […]
