(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 […]
Often times brides and grooms planning a summer wedding may think that because they have chosen to have their wedding during a season which seemingly offers perfect weather conditions, there is less that they need to consider when planning the details of their day. I’ve compiled a list of things to mull over a bit […]
When I ask brides to describe their vision for their wedding, often they describe what they want for their centerpieces. “My vision is log rounds on the tables and candles.” Uh, what? Ok. That’s great. But we’ve got some work to do girl… Friends, your wedding vision is about so much more than what’s on […]
Sometimes you go to work, spill coffee on your shirt, read your book instead of eating your lunch, and basically count down the seconds until you can blow that popsicle stand…and other times…you see the love of your life from across the room and fall head over heels. Or at least that’s sort of how […]
My favorite part about my job is seeing bridesmaids from weddings I’ve done in the past, become the bride themselves! And that was exactly the case when I was present to handle Taylor’s wedding to her love Cameron this past summer at the beautiful Scenic Escape Barn in Henderson, MN. The day was a warm […]
In July, I was present at Caitlin and Tyler’s wedding to coordinate the moments of their very special day. They held their ceremony and reception and the stunning Chankaska Creek Ranch & Winery and were one of the first couples to celebrate in the brand new event center on the Chankaska grounds. Beyond this […]
This past July I had the honor of being present for one of the most heartfelt weddings I have ever witnessed. You see, sometimes a couple is just so absolutely perfect for each other, that the connection is palpable. It sounds so cliché but honestly, if you know Cassandra and you know Clay, you know […]
On a warm (very warm) day in late June, Erin and Andy said I DO to a life of endless adventures together. After getting engaged in Santorini, Greece (are you swooning yet…I’m totally swooning) Erin and Andy embarked on a new journey…planning their wedding! Their travel themed wedding was absolutely stunning and I was so […]
I will never forget the first meeting I had at Tandem Bagels in Mankato with Emily and her mother! After chatting for quite a while about what services we offered and all things wedding, we moved on to other random topics and I mentioned something about not being from the Mankato area, and the bride […]
