(or what some people may call a blog...but what can we I say- we're bougie around here)
Timelines are stressful and couples planning weddings are often afraid they are leaving things out. The truth is, that’s rare. The overarching issue that I see most often is too much detail, and way too precise of a time for each line item to happen. When you’re sitting on your computer typing it out and […]
My husband and I were married on a beautiful fall day in 2009. It was chilly, but the leaves were beautiful. I had H1N1 with a fever of 103.8 when I walked down the aisle. We didn’t realize of course just how sick I was then, but suffice it to say, I did not feel […]
If only one good thing comes out of my life being pretty much completely on hold right now, other than flattening the curve, perhaps it’s that I’ve had the time to put some deep thought into things I’ve had on my to-do list for a while. One of those things was revamping the titles of […]

Engagement Season is upon us! Traditionally the majority of engagements occur in the time between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day, with a large portion of those occurring between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day. When someone I know and love (or even just like a lot) gets engaged, I love to give a little gift to […]
Despite what some people may say… Size. Does. Matter. Are you planning your wedding for 350-450 people and can’t believe how expensive the quotes your getting are? Especially for items like wedding decor, cupcakes, catering, and bar service? I’ve seen and heard several reactions but most come in the form of- “that is bullsh*t”, “she’s just up […]
Who actually needs a Wedding Planner? Certainly not you when you have Wi-Fi and all these handy websites right? You’re looking for your wedding vendors on a website like The Knot or WeddingWire…because after all, these sites claim to be the only resource you need to plan a wedding… Cool. All seems to be going […]
When Kamra Joosten Photography asked me to help her with a styled shoot, I of course said YES! I immediately jumped into planning a simple, thoughtful, and beautiful styled shoot. I wanted to feature some vendors that we don’t get the chance to work with as often and most importantly, I wanted to shoot at […]
There are some brides I just know I’m going to connect with, and when our first Facetime call with Laura took place after she’d been to a champagne happy hour with co-worker, I knew this was going to be one of those dream wedding clients, and my intuition was spot on. #champsdrinkchamps While planning their […]
Back in April I was lucky to spend the day coordinating Amanda and Saxon’s wedding. I was even luckier because they had Joelle Julian as their photographer! It’s funny the way life comes at you sometimes, Joelle and I worked together at Maurices when I first moved to Mankato 9 years ago. Time passed, she […]
When Alice of AliceHQ Photography asked me to help her out with a styled shoot she had dreamed up, of course my response was HECK YES WOMAN LET’S DO IT! Or likely something nearly as ridiculous. I love helping other creatives make the visions they have in their heads come to life. Styled shoots are […]
